I really feel like Starfield got a lot of unwarranted criticism. I paid $100 or whatever it cost for early access, I have about 200 hours into the game, and I feel like I got my money's worth. It's a fun game with an interesting story, New Game+ is still worth playing, and the graphics are fantastic.
Sure, it has its flaws, but given "hours of fun per dollar," the only game I've played recently that comes close is Cyberpunk.
Just because you feel like you got your money's worth doesn't make the criticism unwarranted though. It's ok to enjoy something others don't like but that doesn't invalidate their criticisms.
Starfield is the kind of game where everyone who enjoyed it got bullied off the internet though. It's ok to like things.
I mean, clearly they didn't since the dude I replied to is still here...
Look at all the downvotes on the original comment
The downvotes are for you saying the criticism was unwarranted.
I never said that
Starfield wasn't a bad game so of course people could enjoy it. I believe what the other camp was upset about is the huge flaws it had and what it could've been.
I think the biggest problem is Bethesda always hypes these things up like they're the fucking holodeck. Starfield could have been the greatest game ever made and it still wouldn't have lived up to the prerelease hype.
I got it for free and I liked, Bethesda improved on the most problematic thing from the past games that is bugs, but the game has many flaws and some flaws completely broke the game, loading screen are one of them.
