And now…REALITY: Starfield is a SUPER-success. Critically. Commercially. And, most importantly, it is a super-success with the fans!

I love it - and the only opinion that matters to me, is mine.

[Geeks On Hugs]

Well said!

[Montiness]

reality.... hype for a game promotes pre launch sales when being unable to post reviews to steer other people away due to poor performance, and devs still have not addressed these.

but words hurt my feelings :(

I really wish this forum would move on from dogging on the game so people could actually start discussing quests and giving gameplay tips.

The only people that this game is a success with is people who haven't played good video games. Period.

I just posted this on another forum.

"Starfield took a few days to get use to. Of course there is the interface/menus learning curve to deal with and then not having an open world thru me off a bit. But after several days of play I am finding that they built a very nice blend of open and instance. I like the game and I am expecting it to be a seller with a large fan base. Of course the Modders will also extend the games life for a few years to come. I am very pleased to have a new world available to me for several years of play."

It's a release by Bethesda. It'd be more shocking if the game was unsuccessful. Gamers will shill these major companies.

right. no one here has ever played a good game. ever

How is it a success commercially. It has maybe 1/4ths the player base of similar games at it's price point in the same production length(more or less) and that's with it's fairly heavy marketing. Do you even know the games budget and it's marketing budget? And in what universe do you have access to the opinions of the consensus, how do you know what "the fan's" think. I look at this forum and go "damn...Baldurs Gate 3 had dozens of posts on the front page alone talking about detailed aspects of the game, here I ran out of meaningful topics in one day." Which one of us is right? How do we measure it? And in what universe do "the critics," mean anything at this point, at least in the AAA space. Far as I can tell on the indipendent review and commenter it's been 7/10 at most across the board with 4-5/10 more common.

Well I think the game is fun as its what knew what this game be like form older ToDD games and it will go on the next Skyrim with mods, The haters and trolls cant really attack it as this been a good year for gaming overall.

So let them cry over loading screens, No Man Sky and whatever.

Most things can be declared a success by modern gaming standards.
Fans are Fans, they consume media and move on accepting the bare minimum in quality.
Bethesda made money, paid the investors, have some pretty player counts from the gamepass etc. Optically it's a success.

This is once again, another Bethesda bomb, a game failing to meet even baseline standards and expectations carried by enthusiasts and hardcore pc gamers.

Issues that have existed since oblivion are still present here, no fov slider, poor performance with little improvement to visual fidelity, the slow decline in quality seen over the years caused by compromises and shortcuts etc.

[ShillHog]

Only in the minds of shills.
Game is crap.

Do we need game reviews and streamers all to say a game is good now or let people judge for themselves what a good game or not? I don't need to virtue signal to join in the gamergate that i hate a game and then 4 months later say it good.

[HellGate]

Hahahaha all the paid reviews on the internet, this game is utterly crap. Quality and story is zero, from now I compare all AAA to Baldur's Gate 3 and all dev's that can hit the mark like BG3 to them I can advice them go f you self.
