You know what? Even if it were pushing a woke agenda, I'd be fine with that. We have had enough machism, jingoism, chauvinism and racism in our games.

I’m both grumpy that it’s not on Xbox but also relieved because I’m still trying to finish BG3.

Cool, now if only the game worked. I wasn’t been able to get on all weekend.

My God, I’m almost petty enough to go back through the last week of comments and mock a few idiots in particular. Almost but not quite. 

While I agree that letting all those rumors unattended for a good week was not a good marketing move, and made it look like the company is a bit “directonless” like you said, to say it did “untold damage” to the brand sound like the sort of drivel a die-hard irrational fanboy would say. Most sane people out there know…

It’s arguable that the damage was already done in 2013, by Don Mattrick.

It’s dumb. Instead of reading what the big wigs actually said, the masses apparently chose to listen to the hysteria of the influencer crowd, whose entire gig is to react deceptively to news. It’s like no one knows how to read anymore.

You mean random weirdos on the internet were wrong when they said they were done making xboxs? Shocking.

Wait, hold on, I’ve missed this past season of The Stupids.... so are exclusives... good now? Wasn’t a big issue with MS buying ActiBliz that it would lead to more exclusives which was bad... but now they’re doing the opposite of the thing that people were worried about and that’s... also bad?

“Also, what does she hope will happen?”

Every game will make more money if it’s multiplatform. Companies don’t use exclusivity to sell more software. They use it to force people to buy into their ecosystem.

Take for example when I hunted Bristlas and Cinnamoths and Robinquills. Same enemies, same levels, same %hp remaining.

I’m pleased to see them supporting it. It would be easy to let it lie after the middling critical and community reaction. The game itself wasn’t terrible! It wasn’t a shining jewel but it was a decent time. With continued support by Bethesda and DLC, and mods from the community, I expect this is going to be a…

you say that but time and again we have seen how reearning trust is possible and can cause a game to succeed. No man's sky and sea of thieves are great examples as is cyberpunk 2077.

I think Starfield is Subjective, but too many people claim its Boring, or it Sucks stating their opinion as fact. I am having a blast playing the game and exploring. I am currently lvl 62 and I haven’t even done the main quest line. I’ve done the UC, CF, and FC questlines. I have fun exploring and seeing what’s out…

Not really. Starfield is an easy game, even on the highest difficulty. There’s no need to grind because there are tons of unique quests to do that give plenty of XP. I’ve invested exactly zero points into combat skills and I’m still able to one-shot most enemies with my explosive shotgun.

Slow news day?

You can make farms with the animal husbandry outpost building.

The people going “what about it” in the replies to this are legitimately some of the most pathetic people I can imagine.

mmm...no, it is your problem. It’s only not your problem if you don’t buy it.
