because its a good game. unlike slopfield. glad discussions finally dying about the game and people finally see how shit it is. not even the shills can save face at this point.
BG3 is an excellent singleplayer game, but fucking around Act 1 with a group of friends for an afternoon session is really, really fucking fun. I'd pay money for mini-campaigns designed with co-op in mind (not that Larian games aren't already with coop in mind)
What is the difference between an Xbox player and a Steam player? Why do you think that Starfield on GamePass retains more players than the same game on Steam? Retarded fanboys holy shit
It takes a special kind of fanboy to think that on a service with hundreds of games you can play at any time, that anyone is picking Starfield as that game. If anything Steamfags would be the ones to play it more out of sunk cost since they spent $70 on it.
Many PC players have higher expectations, they expect game experiences on PC to outperform games released on consoles and will get very displeased when they don't. And since hardware setups are usually unique to everyone, PC tends to be one of the more unstable environments for gaming as some people are more prone to issues in games that others wouldn't ever experience, leading to one of the biggest reasons for people dropping games early on being related to performances issues, crashes, and game breaking glitches. And considering Bethesda is already infamous for these type of issues in their games, you can bet it can get really bad for a lot of people.
Everyone I know is playing BG3 on co-op exclusively, and has scheduling hell repeatedly with people, and then starts a new campaign with someone else ad nausea. The only guy I know who is past Act 2 did the sane thing by playing it single-player.
Meanwhile I'm just waiting and seeing what the Starfield DLC ends up being since I already cleared the main story at the 40hr mark without much incentive to do the NG+ loop.

True, but my modded combat set up in Skyrim makes up roughly 40% of the reason why I've been playing it since 2017. I mainly play the game like it's a second life, a life tailored to my fantasies, my realistic interests, and my sinful pleasures, all rolled into one without any of the consequences that would come with actually trying to live said life. Modded Skyrim is an escapist paradise.
Trust me anon, there are worse people named Greg out there than just some guy like me posting horny webms you're going to forget about in an hour or two.
I have to agree, playing skyrim to have modern asethics sort defeats the purpose of modded skyrim in the first place
play the sims or second life if you want modern immersion
This objectively looks like shit. I don't even care that you turned Skyrim into a porn game as that's nothing new, but have some fucking standards, man.
With marketing the budget would be around $400 million. There is no way they made that back. That's without taking into account that Microsoft spend $4 billion to acquire Bethesda.
From steam they sold 3.2 million units at 70 dollars each. (I don't know if refunds mess up this number and won't take special editions into account to balance that and that the estimate might be a bit high). So 3.2 mil * 70 * 0.7 = 157 million.(this could be as low as 74 million)
That's all the actual numbers we have but if they made the same on xbox and a lot less on gamepass then that still only maybe reaches 400 million. It probably won't sell all that well now and their biggest stream might be their theoretical cut of gamepass.
Most of those were mexicans playing on goypass for 7 pesos, or whatever. The game was a flop. You can tell because heads were rolling at Bethesda a month after it released.
>n-no, they just voluntarily stepped down from what is probably the comfiest and best paid job they'll ever have
does this really matter though? starfield sold like hotcakes. todd won. its not like the game flopped at all and if anything, everyone at bethesda is celebrating their success.
So this is the game snoys were crying back in the day for not releasing on nogaemstation 5 due to bethesda bought by microisraelites and that Ganker expent months shilling it as the game of the decade?.
These "I hate Starfield" threads have "unironically" made me interested in Bethesda games and make me want to be a "Bethesdabro" just to fuck with Ganker. If that was the plan it worked on me.
if you didn't get into skyrim and fallout 3/nv back in the 2010's you're not gonna be able to get into those games now.
Zoomers mainly complain how janky the games are and its fair considering that they grew up playing shit like ghost of tsushima.
I can handle "jank". I grew up with a Sega Genesis so I'm not really a " zoomer". >why did you want until now for Bethesda games
Honest answer? No desire for an Xbox (ever) or a PlayStation (after the PS2) and I've always had a shitty PC with integrated graphics that struggled with certain flash games. I've had my current PC since around the middle of gen 8 (which I do have to upgrade since, by today's standards, a 1060 and 1st gen Ryzen 1500x is really still behind). I've been using it for emulation of older games, games on Steam, GoG, and I try Gamepass on PC every now and then.
it's over for the west in the gamedev industry. the asians will zerg rush higher quality, fairer monetized games while westerners with their inferior intellect and paypig shilling will have to rely on once in a million woke shit to appease gamers. PRAISE ALL UNDER CHINA
>thank god peoplea are finally realizing.
you're goinga to be really disapointa once you learn starfield was a commercial success for them. you're probably going to have a nice day when TES6 releases and sells 30 million copies.
The game should be good in theory but the more time you spend with each gameplay system you see how much everything in the game is ass, especially in late game. Not feeling too good about the next Elder Scrolls
>Not feeling too good about the next Elder Scrolls
That's honestly a good thing imo. The more people it filters, the less exposure it has, which should mean less influence the world at large has on it. The fact that Bethesda was even taken away from PlayStation already gives it more breathing room to develop with less restraints imposed on as a result of social media trends.
That doesn't make any sense. Bethesda will try to trend chase the same way they did with all the previous TES games.
It being less popular won't make it better by proxy unless you're a contrarian.
Starfield became irrelevant like a month after its release. The practice of actively shitting on It like in this thread did not come back in full force until It was announced to not be a goty nominee a few days ago. In-between that, there was Spiderman and Alan Wake 2 and Mario Wonder and a bunch of other games. And guess what? Starfield didn't magically become beloved in that time period.
By the time GTA 6 is released, Starfield threads will be about as common as Fallout 4 threads, and the will be about as well-liked as that as well. Sure, It made seek like there are more people defending It sometimes, but the truth is, most people still think it's a mediocre game, it's just nobody gives a shit because it's been several years so only the handful of shiteaters still talk about It.
>The practice of actively shitting on It like in this thread did not come back in full force until It was announced to not be a goty nominee a few days ago
That's a bold-faced lie, people have been making a multitude of threads shitting on the game every single day since it's release. But it's at least nowhere near as bad as it is on the Steam community page for this game.
My thread watcher show something completely different, there was exactly 1 week where retards weren't making at least 6 threads a day shitting on it.
Can you guess what game released in that week?
Mostly true considering fantasy elements draws in more kids and women than Sci-Fi. Matter of fact, I can't think of any show with any heavy space elements that's actually popular with women except for Steven Universe and maybe Sailor Moon, even Kathleen Wars failed to garner much of a female audience, and the ones that did watch that shit was only in it for the Reylo shipping.
This is the game that 5ch is shilling hard? What the fuck is wrong with the Japanese? Honestly, don't believe me? Go look for yourself, they love the game.
man. lets just stop making fun of starfield. the game was shit. but we're beating a dead horse here. bethesda is happy with their success and i think normies think the game is shit. lets see what happens in the next few years. I'm willing to bet bethesda will lose even more players from the next fallout 3 remake, then even more after elder scrolls 6.
then try they try to pedal fallout 6, I think thats when the company will go under and end up like volition.
>i think normies think the game is shit.
Normies don't come to Ganker, watch hour long reviews on YouTube, or monitor Steam numbers by the hour. Most of them that bought it probably thought it was fine. In fact most people who actual play and like video games probably liked it or thought it was fine. Just like how regular people and actual video game players liked BG3, Mario, TotK, and others. Just remember where you are and the community you're dealing with.
it's over
>Ganker when a singleplayer game loses players after 2 weeks compared to live service slop designed for player retention
:OOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Baldurs Gate 3 came out one month before Starfield and has retained 10x more players. Explain that.
because its a good game. unlike slopfield. glad discussions finally dying about the game and people finally see how shit it is. not even the shills can save face at this point.
baldurs gate is multiplayer
most people have never touched bg3's multiplayer. they're just playing and replaying it because it's an actual rpg and it's actually good
BG3 is an excellent singleplayer game, but fucking around Act 1 with a group of friends for an afternoon session is really, really fucking fun. I'd pay money for mini-campaigns designed with co-op in mind (not that Larian games aren't already with coop in mind)
I don't have any friends
Co-op. Big difference, coper-kun.
its a bigger cope to disregard Baldur's gate multiplayer (yes co-op is multiplayer cope more) and that it wouldn't have an effect on player longevity.
How many videos have you actually seen of people playing BG3 in co op? I would take a guess that co op is less than 10% of players, hell maybe even 5%
Don't watch videos of others playing video games anon, get rid of your parasocial relationships and play games yourself.
Starfield would be 10X funner if you could play with a friend.
>hey m8, where'd you go?
>oh, I'm five loading screens ahead of you
kek
though some random modder will make it seamless and add multiplayer
I thought I saw big copes before but damn that's a HUGE one.
Why isn't Starfield if BG3 can be
You'll summon Tencent shizo with that kind of talk.
its all tencent bots bloody benchod basterd
bg3 player count is botted by CCP
You're genuinely mind-broken.
agree
because Starfield is somehow worse than a game made exclusively for the Soilent drinkers of the world
baldurs gate was only on steam (and gog lol nobody bought it there). starfield had like 10 million players on goypass.
bear sex
Sadly a lot of trannies in this shit world.
Sure is woke but at least it allow you to kill all the troons. So it has redemption quality
Not on Game Pass.
What is the difference between an Xbox player and a Steam player? Why do you think that Starfield on GamePass retains more players than the same game on Steam? Retarded fanboys holy shit
It takes a special kind of fanboy to think that on a service with hundreds of games you can play at any time, that anyone is picking Starfield as that game. If anything Steamfags would be the ones to play it more out of sunk cost since they spent $70 on it.
Many PC players have higher expectations, they expect game experiences on PC to outperform games released on consoles and will get very displeased when they don't. And since hardware setups are usually unique to everyone, PC tends to be one of the more unstable environments for gaming as some people are more prone to issues in games that others wouldn't ever experience, leading to one of the biggest reasons for people dropping games early on being related to performances issues, crashes, and game breaking glitches. And considering Bethesda is already infamous for these type of issues in their games, you can bet it can get really bad for a lot of people.

it’s genuinely a good game and this guy
is a retard
Tood Howard himself claimed Starfield was meant to be played for a decade, his words not ours
Yeah it was meant to be played a decade.
A decade ago that is kek
I chuckled.
Bethesda games used to be landmark titles that would stay in the public consciousness for years
All those sex mods though. Can you really blame them?
Stardew Valley has more players and is almost ten years old.
I'm not even gonna check, but I bet Skyrim probably has more players. Also back to plebbit fag
Starfield was designed to be played over a period of years. For science's sake, there are 1000 planets and over a million words in the game!!
It has less players than Skyrim. I'd even bet on oldrim having more players
just release the CK
I told you this was a garbage "game" day 1. Why didn't you listen?
AI-generated planets
look at thath number would you look at thath
but 5 gorrilion players on goypass op!
BUT THE 20 GORILLION ON GAME PASS SIR!!!!!
Busy fapping to Skyrim porn mods, I'll get back into Starfield later
no one is gonna keep playing a 5/10 game
its a 4/10. starfield is definitely a below average game.
i was being kind.
i'd personally give it a 2/10.
literally looks like someone photoshopped ryan gosling into a gay mexican
why does this guy look like ryan gosling
It's the edited version of the OG meme with the goose
You're brown.
replacing every face with the goose makes the game an 8/10
sleep tight gosling
How did Bethesda manage to make the npc faces look worse than Oblivion and Skyrim?
and to think I wanted to buy this garbo
>MFW bought cp77 instead
>bought cp77
I'm waiting for sexlab/ostimng + cbbe 3ba + combat mods + mods that add content like monster diversity/quests/factions/new places to explore.
Find the artefacts!
Modding tools aren't out yet
unbelievably cringy and laughable. What a total loser do you have to be to "play" like this, holy shit.
he's a 30 year old virgin, give him a break.
Winners don't post on Ganker
Surely just some nippon porn game would be preferable at this point?
Modded Skyrim is genuinely better than anything any Japanese h-game studio could put out. Illusion cowers in fear of Skyrim.
Nah
that frontflip holy cow
why would anyone make this
to dab on normalnaggers like these
i dont think you're "dabbing" on any normal naggers anon... you're just posting a really shitty coomer modpack. Even the nsfw modpack from nexus looks miles better than the shit youve got here.
thats not my modpack, im more into argonians with veiny cocks
Just to show off what people can do in this engine
NINTENDO

That's the beauty of modding, you're free to tailor it to your own liking

Considering its long dev cycle, that's not bad. Probably made its budget back by now.
With marketing the budget would be around $400 million. There is no way they made that back. That's without taking into account that Microsoft spend $4 billion to acquire Bethesda.

Wikipedia is claiming that Starfield reached 10 million players by September 19.
Most of those were mexicans playing on goypass for 7 pesos, or whatever. The game was a flop. You can tell because heads were rolling at Bethesda a month after it released.
>n-no, they just voluntarily stepped down from what is probably the comfiest and best paid job they'll ever have
Translation:
Bethesda higher ups hired 450 pajeets for a handful of dollars and pocketed the rest
Yeah cause the people working at Bethesda are so talented otherwise, right?
does this really matter though? starfield sold like hotcakes. todd won. its not like the game flopped at all and if anything, everyone at bethesda is celebrating their success.
Fucking hell. That scared me almost like that Mulholland Drive scene.
It's over

i liked starfield, specifically the memes this game generated. the actual game is dogshit.

oh nooo thats gonna fuck us so bad NO DONT PLAY IT ITS ACTUALLY GOOD STOP
Start with Daggerfall if you haven't already started with Starfield or Skyrim.
if you didn't get into skyrim and fallout 3/nv back in the 2010's you're not gonna be able to get into those games now.

Turns out you can only release the same game five times before people catch on
dragonbo- I MEAN s-starborn!
please buy our game
We're all Starborn, anon
what tactical advantage did the forward move give in that situation?
closing the gap to make a bigger target because that dude was a shit shot.
They're a bit slow to turn around, so that gives a few seconds to get some hits in before they're able to shoot again.
wait this looks like shit i thought V SAID THIS WAS GOOD WTF?
Sorry, had to sacrifice webm quality to get it below the filesize limit
wtf THIS LOOKS SO LUDO I NEED TO PLAY IT RIGHT NOWW I CANT WAIT TO PLAY AS A BLACK nagger

I already dumped 200 hours in the game. Money well spent.
It's official. Fantasy>>>Sci-fi.
Fantasy is more popular, explored, safe and tested as a setting in video games than Sci-Fi.
>Fantasy is more popular, explored, safe and tested as a setting in video games than Sci-Fi.
It's not wrong though. A good reason why there aren't a lot of space games is because nobody has "figured out" how to really do it right yet.
Chris Roberts did. Star Citizen will be a masterpiece when it's done.
It's true THOUGHbeit.
how do you make traversing this fun?
>https://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html
Super Mario Galaxy. The only game to make it fun and even then it didn't lean TOO much in the space aesthetic in the sequel.
Mostly true considering fantasy elements draws in more kids and women than Sci-Fi. Matter of fact, I can't think of any show with any heavy space elements that's actually popular with women except for Steven Universe and maybe Sailor Moon, even Kathleen Wars failed to garner much of a female audience, and the ones that did watch that shit was only in it for the Reylo shipping.
Outdated shit that sucks like lots of loading screens and new shit that sucks like blurry graphics and bad performance.
It's the worst of both worlds.

I liked that video. I had more fun watching them play Starfield than any of the "streamers" and e-celebs did when it was profitable for them to do it.
