The Silent Majority

[ABlueHairedFox]

I just wanted to point something out: There is a silent majority of people who are either playing the game without openly expressing their opinion as well as those who simply don't care about it as well. The forums would make people believe that the argument is very two sided between people who love Starfield and want to defend it and people who hate Starfield and attack anyone who has anything remotely positive to say about it, but the reality is that both of these sides are the minority in terms of the Starfield playerbase.

The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference.

Right...
But seriously, the opposite of loving something isn't to hate it, but to just not care about it.

the dwindling playercount suggests the majority have given up on this game.

I don't really care about love it, hate it etc, my motivation is fun. So far I am enjoying the game and it's very fun. Are there things I dislike about the game, absolutely, a huge list, but there are things I enjoy and things I don't in every game in my library. TBH I would still play it if I was the only person on the planet who liked it. I don't care whether people dislike I'd just prefer this forum was for discussing the game rather than why people dislike it.

Do you need a player count for successful single player game to play it?

What does that mean for all the trolls that dunk on Starfield players in this forum 24/7 for 4 months straight? I shouldn't call them "haters"?

The charts do not support this assumption. It is a normal chart for all solo games. Nothing unique about StarField. Current player count is steady, not dropping.

The silent majority of people on youtube never rate or comment. That doesn't mean a video is good if say it has 13 million views but 85k likes and 50k dislikes as its equally possible the silent majority hate the video but can't be bothered to share it

Well, if they can't be bothered to share it, then I'd probably say that falls under the "Indifferent" category

I'd say many have finished the game at this point and the NG/Unity system is only going to attract a portion of those players. Just like all the players that finished FO4 in the first 2 months, some will just take a break until some DLC, patches, and mods show up.

What you just quoted, not your quote, is wrong for exactly the same reason that the opposite of (ultimate blinding light) is (low light).

No, the opposite of (ultimate blinding light) is .........(darkness).

The opposite of love is hate, the (average) of the two (might) be indifference.

PS. The opposite of Left for Dead (ORIGINAL) is redfall, (in terms of quality).

I find this game "meh" AKA (also know as) "indifferent".

I have played it over 160? hours, but I no longer have any desire to do so, and await full modding support and (crosses fingers) modders who are still interested in this game as modding material.

Did you just sign your own comment?

Isn't mostly negative....... the majority?

Mostly?

I guess not, learned something new today.

It's an interesting argument, OP. Of course it makes sense that the ultimate death of the game would come from indifference and people just...walking away. It does help though when people do actually vote and speak out to help things settle out one way or another faster and either avoid people from being burned or get them to some unknown hidden indie gem faster.

At this point is anyone still under the illusion that this game would be as successful and long lived as Skyrim, a game still played and loved by many? Do even the shills pretend this now? This game stood on the shoulders of giants and then fell off them drunk.

The opposite of yellow is purple, the partner of carrots is peas, starfield is quite laughable, bethesda took arrows to the knees

I appreciate the reply. By no means do I expect Starfield to achieve the same greatness as Skyrim or other games like it, but I just hope that support for the game sticks around a bit longer so that the game can at least be improved upon and be a somewhat enjoyable product once they decide to put the game to rest.
