I don’t get it
The highly hyped and long-awaited video game "Starfield" has been getting a lot of negative reviews, lately. I read some of them, and a very high percentage of them have CLEARLY been written by people with severe, crippling depression and anxiety issues.
Ya know, issues that a game can't fix, and which will make any game seem shitty, because their brains aren't capable of having fun, in their current configuration.
Ah ok, thanks
Been seeing a lot of negative press for the game but I’m enjoying it so I haven’t looked at those reviews very much. I came in expecting Skyrim in space and I got what I expected and am enjoying the crap out of it. Now, I’ve run into several game breaking bugs, but found mods to fix all of them
Or the game is that bad that it causes depression and anxiety in most people playing it.
It's a conspiration between Bethesda and big pharma /s
I've heard it called "contemplative." Which on its own sounds pretty cool.
Haven't played it or watched any playthroughs or anything, though.
I guess there are parts of it that are kinda contemplative. When you get done blasting everyone who attacked you in a spaceship you boarded, or some space facility on an alien planet...and then you're just alone in space? That's kinda contemplative.
I suppose you could say the same thing about the Elder Scrolls or Fallout games. Action-RPG action, punctuated by walking around fairly atmospheric scenery.
Basically, if you don't like relatively simplistic first-person-action-roleplaying game content, then you won't like any of Bethesda's games. As for the people who are bitching and moaning so much, I just don't understand their perspective. It's like they played a game of air hockey, then they were like "WELL, I THOUGHT THE PART WHERE THE PLASTIC PUCK FLOATED ON A CUSHION OF AIR WAS REALLY STUPID, I DIDN'T LIKE IT, I WANT MY MONEY BACK."
In that case, motherfucker, there is NO WAY you could have gone into the situation, not expecting exactly what you got. Which is why I think a lot of these people are using games as a substitute for prescription drugs to treat their crippling chemical imbalance problems.
And don't get me wrong: entertainment can boost your mood, if you're not as far gone as these people are. Keeping people sane is indeed one of the main reasons for entertainment existing. But if you are in a mental state where you're legitimately experiencing anhedonia, it's not fair to blame the game developers for that shit.
Here's hoping it can pull off a "No Man's sky"?
We have that one. It's a tiny indie gem called No Man's Sky, and, get this, there's no cutscene when you leave the planet!
