It feels like when Fallout 3, 4 and Skyrim came out you couldn't escape people posting about them for weeks, especially with Skyrim. Now the most I've seen are complaints about how disappointing Starfield was.

Is the game that much blander or does Internet culture just move on that much faster these days? On the other hand, I do feel like there was a lot more enthusiasm for other games like Elden Ring, and sometimes you get an Among Us that just completely take over the Internet.

Yeah, the writing is the most frustrating shitlib pabulum. The shooting mechanics are pretty good, and I actually kinda like the space combat. And I’m not usually a awooga GRAPHICS kinda guy, but the graphics suck for what the game is. I felt like I was in Fallout 4.

I finally got around to playing Cyberpunk right before it (speaking of broken shitlib games) and I was disappointed by the graphics and character design and customization of Starfield comparing the two.

Honestly I wish the game had just ripped the character models from Fallout 4. Like sure they are still ugly but they're at least interesting to look at whereas the Starfield NPC faces just look like unsettling unfinished clay sculptures

Yeah same here, and if it didn’t run like shit I probably wouldn’t complain about the graphics. But if my GPU is screaming the whole time I’m playing I’d hope it looks nice.
