I don't pay attention to Bethesda games and outside of the first week all I see are stories about how fucking shitty it runs on even top of line hardware. I'm sure the Bethesda super fans are going all over it but I'm blissfully unaware.

bethesda fans are finally succumbing to the mercury poisoning

starfield discourse didn't make it a week for me, while i hear about baldur's gate fairly regularly without seeking it out.

I pirated it but it ran terribly even with everything set to low, meanwhile Baldur's Gate 3 runs perfectly with everything on high.

Based on what everyone says, I honestly thought Bethesda released a public beta and that’s why it’s so shit and I never see it on my feed. Turns out it’s just mediocre

For a game about space it didn't explore a lot of cool concepts.

Its mostly a concept game.

Some people I knew got into it, discussed it a lot for the first couple of days, then they got burnt out pretty quick and concluded it is bland and repetitive. Haven't heard much about it since, and I haven't personally tried it myself.

I haven't played in a couple weeks.

I booted up skyrim on a 360 and i was reminded why people never stopped playing.

Starfield was satisfying in a lot of respects, but the inability to do real exploration and just stumble on things really killed it imo.

I think people are more divided about starfield, a lot of people love it but a lot of other people don't. I think it'll keep a pretty large fan base for a long time, though, and I'm part of that.

I've wanted a true sci-fi from Bethesda since morrowind, and they made something truly special with starfield. currently at 320 hours playtime, and I'm not even finished with the main quest yet. Very excited for NG+ but I'll not start that before fully surveying every damn planet and fully unlocking all skills, both will take a while.
