So did Starfield become the next big thing? (hexbear.net)

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.

starfield is fucking dogshit and confirmed my suspicion that bethesda has no idea what makes their games good.

sandbox is only good if the worldbuilding accompanying it is top notch, and bethesda have been watering down their writing ever since morrowind came out
