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.

The gameplay is mediocre as fuck but I probably would have played through at least the main quest if the worldbuilding wasn't so damn boring. Like it's literally the single most uninteresting SciFi setting I've ever seen, it's almost as if ChatGPT generated the whole setting.

One look at the fucking dump of Akila City and i was like "Humanity is doomed". As in literally doomed, capital of the second interstellar power have maybe twice the population and half the size of average pirate base.

I looked that place up.

That'd be a dumpy and unimpressive outpost in a Fallout game. I know space libertarians are fucking clowns, but come on.
