I played Starfield, and enjoyed it, but. . .   it’s just “okay”.  A bit less than previous Beth single player games.  Certainly nothing to nominate for some mostly-meaningless “GOTY” award.  /meh

Starfield wasn’t “ghosted.” It didn’t deserve to be in the same breath as games like Alan Wake 2, Spiderman 2, and Baldur’s Gate 3. 

Well, Spider-Man 2 has only been out for 3 weeks.

Very excited for Alan Wake 2 to get some serious recognition.

Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom are about on the same level, so if one is nominated, the other really should be too.

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? 

Sorry but there is a time and place for everything

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.

Kotaku’s derangement over this game is getting silly. At least this website will be gone soon.

You’d have to actually be insane to nominate starfield for game of the year, even if it didn’t have so much fierce competition this year, so I’m not seeing the issue. Even “Best RPG” is a stretch, but there weren’t exactly dozens of high profile RPGs this year, so you’ve got to fill out the list somehow.

I’m the same, I wouldn’t have minded if they expanded the details but I don’t want them changing major plot beats, especially not with some Kingdom Hearts level nonsense.

I thought I was the only one wishing that they’d just stuck to roughly the original story without all this convoluted multiverse timey-wimey stuff, but I guess it’s good to see that I’m not alone after all. I didn’t have the deep emotional attachment to FF7 that many do, but how did they take more than 25 years of…

RE2, RE4, Dead Space, half a dozen other remakes along with upcoming ones like Persona 3, Super Mario RPG...all of these show it’s entirely possible to remake a game without going bonkers wild with some garbo new story. I wish FF7 had done the same.

It would have been a great New Game+ mode. But yeah I wish we’d gotten a real remake.

Brag about it on social media and then throw most of the pizzas in the garbage, probably. 

Fuck all the store level people working 10 times harder for the same pay, huh?

Canceling them immediately was the right call by that manager. Pretty frustrating that so many people are willing screw over others so quickly.

I only buy what I can get through in game earned currency.  If they don’t give me enough, I don’t buy it.

Id like to see how much actually went to charity.  Usually the fine print will state the profits from the proceeds and the companies will like like 8 dollars out of the 10 let's say we're due to them
