Comment on Starfield, is it getting review bombed?
emptyother@programming.dev 1 year agoScrewed over? What promised stuff didn’t 76 deliver on?
For me it seemed like Bethesda wasn’t entirely sure what they wanted from 76, except that they wanted to create a multiplayer version of Fallout, and make money on micro-transactions. Todd tried to drag it in the PvP direction, which was ridiculous when its their first multiplayer and fallout haven’t exactly been known for being balanced. Someone internally dragged it in the coop PvE direction, someone else towards roleplaying and building. And after a backlash, they reacted by focusing on getting NPCs in and on PvE coop. And house building because that sold.
I liked the initial story personally. The changed story with NPCs became too disjointed from the world already built. And had no driving force in it. No reason to care except seeing one faction win.

I didn’t get my canvas bag with my preorder and the whiskey I ordered was a joke. It was just a regular bottle of whiskey in a plastic shell.
The whole point of the whiskey was for the bottle. Same for the preorder. I wanted the canvas bag. Not some cheap bullshit.

Oh yeah, forgot the preorder crap. Didnt think of that as part of the game.

That’s fair. It technically isn’t but it was sold alongside of it as an incentive so I still feel it’s part of the overall issue with their management in general.
