So did Starfield become the next big thing? (hexbear.net)

It feels like when Fallout 3, 4 and Skyrim came out you couldn't escape people posting about them for weeks, especially with Skyrim. Now the most I've seen are complaints about how disappointing Starfield was.

Is the game that much blander or does Internet culture just move on that much faster these days? On the other hand, I do feel like there was a lot more enthusiasm for other games like Elden Ring, and sometimes you get an Among Us that just completely take over the Internet.

its fallout 4 but with a worse story, bland art direction, and even less character

also its wild that they didnt think of making vehicles like rovers and stuff to ride around planets on in their nasa punk setting. no, you gotta run for an hour to get anywhere because your oxygen depletes (that is, until you become a space wizard and get the oxygen replenishment spell, and cast it 24/7 as a necessity)

I've seen people raise the point that you'd realize planets are procedurally generated trash way too fast if you had a horse, uh a rover

Mass Effect 1 did better than that. Come on!
