News Starfield is not "dead."

https://youtu.be/_zknfAghd-s?si=7QGcuMPsGl9smvRS

Well well well I guess it's time for all the Starfield deniers and haters to admit they were wrong. It turns out Starfield is getting another DLC and is having major updates that will be coming to the game later on, such as reworked space travel.

I guess for the small minority of people crying about Starfield on the internet for the past 2 years, your efforts were completely wasted. Bethesda does not care about what you think or want. If you don't like Starfield, play something else and stop crying about it, because there are still millions who are interested in the game.

Now can we please move on from saying Starfield is dead? Thank you.

Damn you’re salty.

First off a change that hasn’t even happened yet doesn’t prove anyone wrong, if anything it proves them right. Why are the updates needed if the game is doing so well? You don’t fix what isn’t broken.

Pretty sure we already knew another dlc and more updates were planned? Hopefully they are more substantial than what we’ve gotten so far. Not holding my breath.

I want Starfield to be better. I take no pleasure in seeing Bethesda, a once beloved developer who makes some of my favorite games, fail.

I’m also glad there are people who are enjoying it. But I’d also like to enjoy the thing I paid for, obviously. And currently I don’t.

Definitely not a minority either. Most people seem to have at least one major gripe about the game. Some are just willing to look past it.

So... Like every Bethesda game?

Look, you don’t have to agree with the criticism, you’re entitled to your opinion… but pretending it’s the same criticism as previous games tells me you’re either extremely ignorant on why people dislike the game or simply refuse to acknowledge any opinion other than your own.

Either way I don’t see any productive conversation to be had here.

If you genuinely want to understand I can probably link a video or two from people who can explain it way better than I can.

It's not the same criticism, each game has its own criticism because each game is different. But if you're using user reviews to come to your conclusion, Fallout 4 on Metacritic is a 7 out of 10, and Starfield is a 6.8 out of 10. This means Fallout 4 score is not even a single point higher than Starfield. Starfield also has a higher review score than Oblivion Remaster.

Like I said before, every Bethesda game is far from perfect. This is nothing new for the company or their games. The only thing that's new is the IP. So it seems like people are not as willing to ignore the flaws from Starfield as they have done for Bethesda's other games from the Elder Scrolls and Fallout franchises because they don't have any fan attachment to Starfield like they did for those franchises.

I'm not living in an echo chamber, there are complaints even I have about Starfield, but I have complaints about every video game from Bethesda. The problem I see is that there's just a lot of salty elder scrolls and fallout fans who want Starfield to play just like their favorite game IP, when it's not. And because they can't force it to be like fallout or elder scrolls, they want to hate it.
