I always find it funny that Hello Games over promised and the backlash was such that GOG extended its refund policy, but Bethesda does the same thing every time they release a game and gamers just call it a Bethesda game and that's the end of it or "modders will fix it"...
No Mans Sky was nothing like what Hello Games promised.
Starfield is exactly what Bethesda promised.
I don't see the discrepancy.
This is what I don't get, Bethesda were very clear about what the game was and wasn't in the lead up to release, yet some people seem to have convinced themselves it was going to be something entirely different and are now angry about that.
There is no "original comment"... There are no comments of yours in this thread with an EDIT. They're all just telling people to look at your "original comment"... But there isn't one
It's driving me crazy how many people are claiming Bethesda overpromised. I could have written an accurate review (critiques and all) of the game based upon what I saw/heard before its release.
Stop spamming this everywhere! WHAT FUCKING ORIGINAL COMMENT?? These people are replying to someone else, not you. There isn't even a comment of yours for them to be replying to!!
What did Starfield overpromise that we didn't get? As far as I can tell, we got exactly what we expected - Skyrim in Space.
Take my money, Bethesda, and give me more Skyrim in Space please.
Please STFU.
Bethesda promised Skyrim in space and that's what we got, a game exactly like the one they released 12 years ago but in space. They should have just called it Skyrim: Space Edition.
i don't entirely agree with that statement about it being identical to a 12-year-old Skyrim. But if it were true, what's the problem? This whole "bleeding edge stupidity" thing was the first reason we all started to hate AAA games 20 years ago.
Maybe you're too young, but "can it handle Farcry" was an insult to AAA. Now if it doesn't use every graphics acronym under the sun at once, and have multi-phased smell reflection when you walk into the bathrooms, then it's shit.
Also, for the record, a 2014 Engine (UE4) remained the top engine for basically anyone to make games in until last April. Improvements in graphics have slowed down because we're getting closer and closer to the limit.
NO!!
