The awards don’t mean shit, there was nothing even close to innovative about Starfield. They took No Man’s Sky, made it worse, and shoved their 15 year old npc behavior in it.
I am in a mad bubble then because I have never heard anything good about Starfield, or even seen for that matter. Besides maybe Joel Haver’s starfield videos on youtube and those are parodies.
What would be the point of that? They’ve had fan bases work together before, if Valve did something like that it would be immediately figured out most likely.
When the game first launched it’s “Mostly Positive” on steam. This is kinda similar with games like Cyberpunk 2077, when it launched people who likes it, likes it, and when people who likes it moved on it was left with people who hold grudge and will continue to push it down, and positive voice will also began to get bullied because of their opinion.
The flip side of this similar scenario is Witcher 3, where negative voice will get bullied because of their opinion. Internet is sure a silly place.
There was a lot of PR consultant driven hype early on, and quite a few people bought into it, or just assumed Bethesda could do no wrong and leapt to their defense. Or it was their goons astroturfing, none of the alternatives would really be that surprising.
I would agree that you would have to be living in a bubble to not hear a single good thing about Starfield. I mean, you can just read reviews (even the lower scored ones) and see what the game does well.
So, three people had nothing good to say about the game?
Here, I’ll say something good. The game has some really solid quests in it. And the shipbuilder can be a lot of fun if you enjoy that type of stuff, especially given the fact that the ships all have interiors you can walk around.
There, you’ve now heard a good thing about the game.
The shipbuilding was my favorite parts of the streams. I wouldn’t say it was enough to call it innovative, though. I guess I’m really just deeply wondering what kind of person it takes the play that and be like “god damn that was innovative as fuck.” Apparently, there is a lot of them.
The mechanics of the new game plus might not be entirely unique, but are pretty rare among games. Even just having the story acknowledge it in anyway is pretty rare.
I liked it well enough. Not enough to repeat the loop 11 times. But enough to finish the game and find that idea inside with a some work. It wasn’t bad enough for me to write it off completely.
I enjoyed the ship building a lot. It felt innovative to me. It was a blast and pretty well done. The bulls I’ve seen out there range from insane to just freaking cool.
I thought the possibility of killing off your spouse or main companion was innovative and painful. I put the game down for a few hours to decide how to move forward. Save scum or live with my path despite that loss.
The hate bandwagon for games seems a bit out of control these days. People are literally going into the community for those games just to talk shit… Not to be constructive or to hear why people like it. Just to be mad and try to convince others they can’t possibly like it. It’s weird.
It’s worse than that because Steam essentially pay you to vote (by giving you a card or something you can sell) so people are incentivised to just pick a random game or the only game they’ve heard of.

Fan votes have been and will always be popularity contests.

It almost seems tongue in cheek, especially with rddr2 winning the labor of love.
That or these big companies have an army of steam accounts for this. Thats not completely out of the question.
Or, and I’m just spitballing here…
The votes don’t actually matter and Valve will choose winners.

I watched 3 people stream it in its entirety.
