People still care about Starfield in 2025? I thought everyone went back to Skyrim a year ago.
Yes. I enjoy the game. I wasn't expecting Star Wars, and therefore I was not disappointed. I got a Bethesda style take on Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen, without an always online multiplayer requirement or getting a game still in the alpha stages of development for the last 10 years.
While there are certain elements that I don't like, they are small issues that mods can easily fix. I cannot do that with Elite or Star Citizen. And unfortunately, this genre of games is incredibly tiny. Like, basically the only other option I haven't mentioned is EVE Online. No thanks.
I like how you got downvoted for liking it.
Here is a dilemma: If you like getting downvoted for liking something, then do you upvote your own comment or do you downvote it?
Practically I believe up\downvotes are public, so you can't. Otherwise you look like you're just a troll if you're downvoting your own comment.
Your own comments are upvoted automatically, so every new comment starts with 1 point. You can remove your own upvote from your comment, so that it starts at 0 instead.
Yeah, but people can see if you downvote your own comment, right?
Removing an upvote is not the same thing as downvoting
Ok. I'm not sure what that raw data looks like, how easy it is to see the specifics.
