Come join us to talk about the new Bethesda game Starfield. There has been some angry people who set really high expectations for the game and now are mad the game didn't meet their fake expectations.

Stuff like it would have real 100% online multiplayer, or infinite number of highly detailed planets.

OP probably meant unrealistic expectations.

... who's even saying that? It's not like No Man's Sky where that stuff actually was promised.

[-] Lmaydev@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

I think that's exactly OPs point. There are people around who are complaining it doesn't have features that were never mentioned or promised.

[-] 520@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

that's madness. I can get the performance complaints and anger at Bethesda's attitudes to them, but in terms of features, this isn't NMS, despite the very similar premise.

I think people spend years following the development and hear every rumour and build it up way to much in their heads.

I haven't got around to playing yet and I've avoided as much news as possible.

From what people are saying it sounds like Skyrim in space which is all good to me.

It's definitely been feeling like skyrim in space to me and I love it.

I used up all of my unrealistic expectations on Star Citizen.

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't

You should also include either:

!community@instance.com

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
