Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda DLCs of all time (lemmy.world)

Starfield steam page for the DLC currently shows eight user review score of 41%, making this one of the worst Bethesda DLC's released of all time. This is so horribly, shockingly bad for Bethesda, because it shows as a gaming company, they are no longer capable of delivering a really good gaming experience as they had in the past. Some of the reviews sum up quite nicely what is wrong with this DLC....

Less content than any skyrim DLC. Less than The Fallout 4 story DLCs. Doesn't change of the complaints people had with the base game, writing is still at a 4th grade level.

Quick: If you are looking to buy my answer is no, you aren't missing much content. I was really hoping to enjoy this DLC. Took about 4 hours for the main story and maybe 2 more hours to 100% the achievements.

These two reviews I think really summed up what Starfield has become, $70 for an AAAA title that has extremely little buy-in from the community, horrifically low amount of replayability and can be breezed through easily. It's mind-boggling to see this

I've given up on every major developer/publisher, so-called AAA garbage, except for capcom for monster hunter and square enix for final fantasy. I'll be extra sad the day they too go the way of every other greedy lazy "AAA" game company...

At least indie devs care to make a good game and not try to make a money printing IP machine with some game like aspects in it.

as a hige indi/small developer fan i see great times ahad. AAA will fail, clmpanys will close and developers will find new homes in smaller teams. by 2030 i predict a golden age for AA and and perhabs also a new golden age for indi.

I'm not a purist lol I enjoyed the hell out of FF16. I think 8 and 13 were the only ones I didn't really care for

Even Capcom I'm not preordering. If wilds is getting good reviews a couple days after launch I'll get it. (Even though I'm pretty sure it will be a good game)

I feel like monster hunter is kinda hard to mess up, unless they suddenly decided to make it turn based with micro transactions for extra turns or something lol

The "story" is: omg big monster messing up the ecosystem, go fight! So it's really all down to gameplay lol

Nintendo's games are still usually very good, even though their business practices suck ass.
