Starfield was not ghosted, it wasn't deserving. 

That’s part of the issue. The other issue is that there’s just nothing interesting to find. BGS made a handful of unique POIs, then copied and pasted them across thousands of planets. Once you realize this, the appeal of exploration goes out the window because you know you’re just going to “discover” things you’ve…

That’s because Starfield is the definition of mediocre, and for the budget and time spent pathetically empty.

Why should it get nods at the VGAs? Indie titles are more engaging. It’s supposed to be recognized why, exactly? A gigantic balloon budget and a celebrity game director? 

Maybe? But I feel like they set themselves up for it. Microsoft literally described Starfield as one of the most important RPGs ever made, and then it barely even made the list of nominees. I think if they’re going to oversell it like that it’s fair to call them out.

Starfield honestly lacked the charm of skyrim or fallout. I think it was mainly an issue in how you traveled. It was all insta-teleport which removed most of the exploration wonder that it could have been.

Jesus Christ just reading through that was so insane that for a moment I was worried that I was having a stroke.

Geeze, thanks for that brush your painting us all with, fuckwad.

There are a massive studio with the manpower to handle. They just need to make their worlds not bland. 

I would have added the Evil Within games. Especially the 2nd which is excellent.

This just makes the shitshow that followed the accusations even more embarrassing for all the internet commenters involved.

Hopefully he’ll get back on his feet and work on RPGs again. He’s too talented to remain in the freezer.

“I can’t tell if these pictures are real or fake”.

It was probably the most mediocre game that year. The hype and praise was purely based on the hate for Bethesda’s FO76 debacle. One of those games which came out at just the right time from a developer with a devoted fan base of critics.

Outer Worlds was great? I remember it being more like Diet FNV. It wasn’t BAD, mind you, but it was way too short, had too few areas to explore, and not a whole lot to do outside the main quest. Maybe they added more past the firsty DLC, I dunno.

Weird to make such an issue over someone who goes by a name including “Thee Stallion” in the first place.

Came here to say the same thing. It’s utterly shitty but also unsurprising that a citizen from one of the world’s most racially homogeneous nations might have no understanding or appreciation of racial diversity. It’s Japan, racism and insular attitudes are kinda baked-in: famously closed their borders til Commodore…

Or that they felt that the expense of the stickers and getting them distributed was enough of a reason to pump the brakes on it.

I worked gaming retail and it would not have been the first time we got sent a roll of stickers and told to smack them over some writing on a box. More then likely Blizzard thought it would make money eventually so they kept in it and gave the devs the “legal” excuse

I smell multiple lawsuits incoming.

So because you soiled yourself regularly for a few years there as a child, then forever shall the title bed-wetter be acceptable?
