The amount of hate I’ve seen about Starfield over the last few weeks is very strange. It feels very targeted

It's this years punching bag but Bethesda has been that for a while now. It's the "cool" thing to hate on it and it is profitable to hate on it, the amount of clicks these rage-bait articles and hours long YouTube videos to say how much Starfield sucks must be getting is clearly something worthwhile considering Starfield haters can't shut the f*ck up about it despite hating it, like, move on dude, Lol.

Not a surprise though considering how much hate the game was receiving before it had even released though, Starfield is the most talked about game of the year and that's a fact and it was heavily talked about before it had even released but there was a lot of "this game will suck!" before it was even in players hands. Bethesda rage bait is strong nowadays.

This drop all of a sudden is suspicious, it's such a drastic drop and it's months after release. Ratings like these are usually reserved for games which are either completely and utterly broken beyond belief or are being review bombed like Overwatch 2 "Worst Rated Game Ever" on Steam. I can buy someone thinking Starfield is a 7/10 or even 6/10 but 28%? Lmao.

I don't see how Starfield at its worst ain't just an "alright" game, there is nothing offensively broken about it, or offensively bad about it to justify the 28% average rating on Steam and I've no doubt it's just some review bomb hate bandwagon for various factors (probably the replying to Steam reviews got PC gamers panties in a twist too).

My favourite complaints are "I've put 300 hours into Starfield and it sucks!" or "Starfield is so outdated, it sucks and Bethesda hasn't evolved since Skyrim, now excuse me while I go back to playing Skyrim!" Or the articles talking about how Starfield's outdated and sucks but look at how many people are still playing Skyrim! Lmao.

I better not see people say "Avowed ain't like Skyrim! It sucks!" 💀

I now wonder what the reception would be to an Oblivion remaster or even worse, a Morrowind remaster, Lol.

Ah well, it is what it is, Starfield has still undoubtedly been a success for Bethesda/Xbox anyway, in terms of players, engagement and Game Pass and I loved it which is all that matters to me, it seemed to resonate more with console players and players will only increase as Bethesda continues to support it, I am looking forward to the expansion and Bethesda fixing some of the things I took issue with.

REcently saw a dude on twitter put like 872 hours into it, and did not recommend it. Trashed the whole game, lmao. How tf you play a game that long and hate it.
