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.

I think people are more divided about starfield, a lot of people love it but a lot of other people don't. I think it'll keep a pretty large fan base for a long time, though, and I'm part of that.

I've wanted a true sci-fi from Bethesda since morrowind, and they made something truly special with starfield. currently at 320 hours playtime, and I'm not even finished with the main quest yet. Very excited for NG+ but I'll not start that before fully surveying every damn planet and fully unlocking all skills, both will take a while.

minor NG+ mechanics spoiler that may influence how much of that you want to do

When you do the new game+, you lose all of your ships, credits, and inventory, as well as survey data. You do keep all of your skills and powers though

Okay, fixed it. I’m not sure what I was going for there, but I made it make sense.
