Again, no it wasn't perfectly fine. Of course, I had it on an M2 drive. No amount of whitewashing can cover up the fact it was broken and unfinished on launch, and that's why there was such a well deserved backlash.

They promised things that simply weren't in the game. There were clear unfinished parts of the world, the story, and the gameplay.

Starfield is Skyrim in space. If you like that formula, great, you got Skyrim in space.

It's not whitewashing when the statistics talk for themselves.

Saying something wasn't broken when it was, is whitewashing.

The statistics are that the majority of people were disappointed in the release.

Statistics from your ass. There's no more to talk if you deny the reality of things.

What are you talking about. It had a bad rating because it was received badly, what stats show that everyone loved it 😂

[–] bouh 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Shitty press rating, tell me more about it... Again, steam rating show CP77 better than starfield. At release both.

wtf has Starfield got to do with anything?

They both were received badly. Because they were both disappointing.
