I'm not sure why it's such a divisive take to enjoy Starfield or any other xbox games for that matter. If this was a multiplatform game like Hogwarts, hardly anyone would care to disagree if I said I enjoyed it, especially one that reviewed positively by critics. You feel one way and I feel another. I'm not even a Bethesda enthusiast my any means. Starfield is the first of their games I spent more than 4 hours playing lol. I've always enjoyed their other studio games way more like; Doom, Evil Within, and Dishonored. I'm not ignoring the issues the game has. I just found the highs outweigh the negatives. I'm not the only person to feels this way.

It's funny how Starfield is still so relevant in the news cycle for a game considered bad. While any other game after this amount of time people would move on. 

I mean it's not any other Xbox game, ones like Hi-Fi Rush and Horizon 5 are both well liked. If you feel another way do you mean you think the game has been well received by people overall? If so I'm curious why cause I don't see it.

It is in fact well received overall by critics and audiences.
Steam scores have 85K positive reviews and 50k disliked reviews: Overall well received.
Xbox store user review 3.5/5: Overall well received.
Metacritic: Xbox critic score 83, PC critic score 86, user score 70: Overall well received.
Best Buy user score 4.6/5: Overall well received.
Amazon user score 4.2/5: Overall well received. 
Target user score 4.5/5: Overall well received. 
Walmart user score 4.5/5: Overall well received.
Opencritic 85/100: Overall well received.

There is no way any influencer and gaming journalist would use Starfield, a divisive game before it even released, as a way to garner views and clicks. There is no way the internet would overreact to any of it. There is no way anyone would use Starfield to console war or troll. There is no way several people in a thread who hadn't played the game would act like they know better than someone who did. Or maybe the hate for Starfield is overblown a bit.
