Expectations for Starfield were sky-high, and while many felt it fell short of them, raw sales and other statistics tell a different tale.
Starfield has crossed the 14 million player milestone and will get annual story expansions. Shattered Space takes place on a single planet.
These numbers are difficult to parse without context. How do we compare nunbers played on Game Pass with actual sales of games like Skyrim and Cyberpunk 2077? A good start would be achievement data. If we know how many players kept playing past the first few missions, we would have a good idea of how many players considered the game a value addition for Game Pass.
Starfield players are channeling their inner Boba Fett, as the latest mods are helping turn the game into a Star Wars Bounty Hunter remake.
Bethesda surprised fans with mod support and a free quest in Starfield, but the mission cost 700 credits to continue and fans are not happy.
This is the only Bethesda RPG that I haven't finished and have very little interest in returning too. Over priced MTs aren't going to make this game fun
The stats can say anything, because they don't release the stuff that counts.
I play it on Steam and it’s phenomenal.
Hunger is the best spice. lol.
I'll never forget advertised as an open world sandbox game but you run into invisible Star Trek barriers when exploring. GTA has never done that and neither has No Man's Sky. If people love this game good for them I am not touching it. And if Microsoft does say port this game to Playstation I am still not touching this game.
I started playing a few weeks ago and am enjoying it thoroughly. Perfect, absolutely not. Yet it's nowhere near as bad as what people make it out to be. Plenty of quests to get side tracked with. The gunplay has been tightened up significantly in my opinion since Fallout 4. I originally listened to the online crowd absolutely crap on the game and made me curious to see if it was that bad. It's not. It's a good and fun game. It just didn't live up to the developer hype and peoples expectations. Which wouldn't be the first time Bethesda, or Microsoft promised the world, and gave us the moon.
I will say that the beginning few story missions really kind of drag, but once you unlock powers it picks up. I think that first few hours soured a lot of folks who left it behind before really digging in to it. Which is understandable.
