Come join us to talk about the new Bethesda game Starfield. There has been some angry people who set really high expectations for the game and now are mad the game didn’t meet their fake expectations.
Reddit ex-pats may recognize the format from subreddits like LowSodiumCyberpunk or NoMansHigh
that’s madness. I can get the performance complaints and anger at Bethesda’s attitudes to them, but in terms of features, this isn’t NMS, despite the very similar premise.
Some of the things I’ve heard and seen said about the game show that way too many people had incredibly unrealistic expectations for a Bethesda game that from the onset was said to be “a classic Bethesda RPG, through and through” by the man himself. If you didn’t expect Skyrim/Fallout with a fresh new aesthetic, you either weren’t paying attention or have been on some really good drugs.

1. Follow the rules of Lemmy.world - These rules are the same as Mastodon.world’s rules, which can be found here.
2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
wtf ‘fake’ expectations? They were real expectations! What even is a fake expectation? Like, expectations from an AI???
Stuff like it would have real 100% online multiplayer, or infinite number of highly detailed planets.
OP probably meant unrealistic expectations.
I used up all of my unrealistic expectations on Star Citizen.
… who’s even saying that? It’s not like No Man’s Sky where that stuff actually was promised.
I think that’s exactly OPs point. There are people around who are complaining it doesn’t have features that were never mentioned or promised.

I think people spend years following the development and hear every rumour and build it up way to much in their heads.
I haven’t got around to playing yet and I’ve avoided as much news as possible.
From what people are saying it sounds like Skyrim in space which is all good to me.
It’s definitely been feeling like skyrim in space to me and I love it.
