Bethesda is such a garbage company. No idea why people buy these half assed games
I never really understood that. Everyone hyped up skyrim so hard and when i played it it was... Meh? It was all grey and jank that apparently is enjoyable for some people.
I really liked new vegas and when fallout 4 came out, i never watched a trailer or anything, but i was sick on release day, so on that day, i watched the release trailer and thought why not. I was truly shocked how god damn ugly the game was and how shallow and broken it was.
People had high hopes for starfield and i thought i was taking crazy pills. It's just the same thing again but somehow even worse. I think i just don't get it.
Because we all loved morrowind...
I certainly did. That good will got me buying their games up through Fallout 4 which finally crushed it. Didn't even look at Starfield.
I bought it on pre-release on steam and refunded it right before go live.
Love how try before you buy works now. Charge me for early access to play a couple days early? Well shucks... guess I get a free trial period.
By the end of the weekend I was disillusioned. No meaningful exploration in a space game is insane.
