Microsoft is giving Xbox until 2027 to hit a subscriber milestone for Game Pass before exiting the gaming market.

SPENCER SISTERS WE GOTTA STAY STRONG IN THESE HARD TIMES. XBOX CAN DEFINITELY RECOVER, NEXT YEAR...
It's just not a good game. This is what it looks like when you try to do a AAA game solely and entirely through outsourcing.
Is there anyone on Bethesda payroll who doesn't just have a corporate bloat job?
I like how the only reason starfield is still relevant is because of how shit it is. Not even forspoken had threads b***hing about it 3 months after release.
Friendly reminder that Todd himself said that their internal playtests some years ago made them realize the game was simply not fun and they had to rework a lot of the systems. Also, Starfield didn't release with version 1.0, it was like 1.7.
Just imagine the humongous piece of shit we would've gotten a year ago.
Oblivion was arguably Bethesda biggest mistake until Starfield. How the FRICK that aggressive level scaling got past the design phase and testing will forever remain beyond me.
>bandits and marauders >in full glass and daedric armor
Level scaling was nonsensical, but Oblivion had a lot going for it. The world is to the day the comfiest open world ever made. The factions were fun, the radiant AI system is the best of any game with it, they physics remains some of the best ever put into any game, and there was good enemy variety.
Haha, too bad. Companies should not be able to get away with being untalented, sorry but you're going to get filtered for SUCKING BALLS.
>"Noooo! But I think I am a talented artist I just need opportunity! Also I am transgender!"
Shut the frick up, this is why talented people should gatekeep the industry and keep the slower worse programmers and artists AWAY. You have to be exceptional and talented to get into a studio, no ifs ands or buts. Average does not cut it.
Why did they make it so boring? There is no world building at all and nothing interesting about the world. Where are the aliens? Why are all the ships just grey blocks?
People that do more grounded space aesthetics can make it work on film and books because those are typically shorter and character driven. No one gives a frick about Bethesda characters and the game is supposed to have hundreds or thousands of hours of life. You need aliens and cool crazy ships and fun weapons to make that work.
By far the most grounded and realistic character interactions were the boring corpo office fetch quests. They nailed those because that's the world they actually live in and understand, and it speaks volumes to the creative bankruptcy of the game. Nothing of value can be made within that system.
If this game was really as bad as you were saying, no one would be talking about it anymore. You people wouldn’t have to make 20 threads a day trying to convince people that it is.
hello sirs pls delete this thead thank you bloody blastard
Hard to feel pity for indians when they're so dumb and annoying.
should be mostly negative
Thank you Phil Spencer. Thank you Todd Hodward. Thank you for driving the coffin of the toxic Xbox brand down into the center of the Earth.
>Microsoft buys Bethesda and Activision Blizzard then exits gaming altogether
I could see it. I don't think the Xbox will make it to the thirties.

Was this in the FTC leaks?

Still can't finish the game because my saves are broken and my ship is invisible. I have no fricks left to give and no patch can fix this.

what race is this?
The race to the bottom
On Xbox it has 3.7 stars out of 5 on the store I just checked

Sony was very smart to not push Forespoken as a big FF16 type exclusive even though it was the same deal and same company
If it wasn't a bethesda game it wouldn't even have that.
It's depressing how shit it is.
It's over
They are Sonys and it is a good game
>objective: make a good game
>make a bad game instead
i don't get it, didn't they playtest before release?
they probably had pajeets playtest it.

Tortanic broke your mind anon.
Reminder that "viewer" and "player" engagement are corporate cope when they are publicly humiliated.
the steam awards will change the narrative! goty goty goty!
Bethesda games have been shit since Oblivion. Why did it take gamers so long to realize that Todd was just feeding them slop this whole time?
Oblivion was slop.

It was poorly imemented but a step in the right direction.
Level scaling was nonsensical, but Oblivion had a lot going for it. The world is to the day the comfiest open world ever made.

Equity has replaced equality. We are headed for an age of mediocrity.
It's like film, great movies are made by talented directors, cinematographers, actors.. ARTISTS who are TALENTED.
Hard workers plus having innate abilities. Not just hard working.
Meritocracy is colonialism. Equity (Communism) is justice. You will like the uninspired slop we feed you or you'll be guilty of hate speech.

It's exactly where it belongs.

We never tire mocking bad devs anon.
Don't remind the CDProjekt fans.
i have hated every second i spent on it, and i will still be making threads to dunk on it for the next 20 years.
That is sad in every sense of the word. I hope your life gets better tragic anon.
enjoy your stay, newbie
you will be here forever
Why are people so invested in this games failure?
Snoyfans are never going to not be mad.
doomposters need to die
Without a compelling lore there's no point to the game.
