Oh maybe those who didn't like it far whatever reason accept that things are subjective and their experience is not universal. Plenty of people have enjoyed this game and found things to like even if it's not perfect. You don't like it, that's also a valid point of view, but you can't dictate to other people that they also shouldn't enjoy it.
"People enjoy the slop so the slop must not be that bad."
Yes but we can absolutely point out they're enjoying slop and are probably the biggest contribution to mainstream games becoming more and more soulless slop.
"I'm Mr High and Mighty, upon my golden gaming chair. I only sample the finest 10/10 works of art and have no time for lowly 7/10 slop that the peasents enjoy. If only they'd accept that I know better what they should be allowed to enjoy"
That's you that is.
No? I'll admit that something like Enderal: Forgetten Stories, while very fun and better than Skyrim in a lot of ways, is still like an 8/10 even though I like it a lot. If we're going on the game alone and not how great and generous the developers are to the community, Deep Rock Galactic is a 9/10.
7/10 for Starfield is incredibly generous. It's a 5/10 if we're all being honest and not circlejerking about Bethesda.
You can like and play whatever you want.
But if you share the opinion that overall quality of games, especially triple A titles, has gone down in the past 10-15 years, and you can sit here and give Starfield: Yet Another Wide as an Ocean but Deep as a Puddle + Boring Experience from Bethesda ™️ is a 7/10; I don't think you really have the right to complain about the declining quality of video games when you're essentially contributing to it by claiming incredibly mediocre games are above average.
If you feel good that you paid $70-100 for what's really feels like a $40 barely out of early-access game, hey, I can't change your mind.
My opinion is fact and everyone else is wrong. I also watch a million essays over the decline of gaming on YouTube so I am very informed.
