I will come back to this post in September to see if I was right lol

Biggest concerning signs:

  1. 30 FPS lock on xbox, there's no way to spin that positively, absolute fail

  2. Predatory pre-order bonus skins to get people to buy before they know what they're actually going to experience (buggy shitshow)

  3. Countless attempts to hype up the game and huge random assurances from the devs

  4. Preemptively admitting the game has jank and trying to make it seem okay lol

At least the bugs will be absolutely hilarious I think.

Not sure what people are actually expecting from starfield. It'll be TES/Fallout in space. The story will be mediocre but who plays Bethesda games for the main quest anyway? The graphics won't be top-notch, but who plays Bethesda games for the graphics? It won't be completely bug-free, but who... You get it. It will be a game that we will play for decades to come, especially with mods. But I don't expect it to be a revolution of the genre.

Before they showed it people absolutely where expecting something else than TES/Fallout in space. But as soon as they showed it, it was obvious it is just another typical bethesda RPG. Don't get me wrong, a lot of people seem to love that. But the expectation was certainly something else after they announced it.
