We know people are upset because they want Bethesda to change. They want Bethesda games to meet the industry standard in visuals, story, writing and presentation. But its not going to happen. Bethesda stick their guns. But humans are a fickle race. With starfield, you cant trust this disharmonious chaos of these comments sections. Play the game for yourselves, and try to look past ones own bias’ and ask: what did this game do well that the other games do not?
Baldurs gate has loading screens too.
It is simply an observation. People saying that Bethesda keeps making the same games and are not evolving kind of highlights the changing expectations of gamers. The thing isn’t people having different preferences, its the gross lack of understanding that many people have. Many cannot see the value of a thing beyond their own likes or preferences. It is a leading cause toward the disharmony we see in these very comment sections.
Not necessarily. I mean if you dont like the game you dont like it. Everyone own individual thoughts and impressions are technically valid towards the game. It is just my hope that people can see the value in the game, even if it does not meet individual or industry standard.
Get ready to be crucified for liking it.lol
Its a solid game. This was predicted many years ago: Bethesda would not be viewed with as much adoration due to the shifting expectations of gamers. Bethesda put an equivalent amount of hard work and effort into starfield that other devs have put into their games. It just manifests itself differently. But ever since the last of us 1 dropped, the expectations of gamers has been quite clear. Graphics, presentation ( character animations etc), and story. Bethesda is still doing what they have be...
To plant a seed
People once again speaking with certainty compelled by the human races compulsion to compete and compare. Starfield does what it does better than the other rpgs this year, and vice versa.
I think older kratos is a stronger kratos, but young kratos possessed a greater power. The power of hope is what I honestly think gave young Kratos his overwhelming might.
Thats one thing I will say…. The map design is not very good. Kind of trash compared to skyrims map
I always find it interesting when people speak with such certitude.
“There is nothing new under the sun.”
Not every game is made for everyone. Bethesda didn’t invest resources in the usual factors or standards that people would label as necessary for a good game. People are also comparing it to Baldurs gate etc. Lets stop comparing games with such a competitive mindset, and just pick the games you like to play and enjoy them. Starfield is a hell of a game, its strengths just dont manifest in the same way as games that are more aligned with the expected standard.
Working on a new Ip was a risk. . There are always risks. We could say the same for tears of the kingdom.
I wouldnt say its at ragnaroks level, but they are skilled at using lightening to their advantage.
It is miles better at meeting the expected industry standard. Starfield has its own strengths that exceed other games.
Theres a reason they are the only ones that make theses types of games. They sacrifice polish for ambition. People would say its an excuse, but its easy to talk when we arent the ones working on the game. People hve a havit of thinking they see more than they actually do.

@edprez- Its just that I hear things such as “Elden Rings combat is amazing”. I think its decent, but not amazing. Sometimes it feels like Im missing something.
Some things take time. Its a big game.
