It feels like when Fallout 3, 4 and Skyrim came out you couldn't escape people posting about them for weeks, especially with Skyrim. Now the most I've seen are complaints about how disappointing Starfield was.
Is the game that much blander or does Internet culture just move on that much faster these days? On the other hand, I do feel like there was a lot more enthusiasm for other games like Elden Ring, and sometimes you get an Among Us that just completely take over the Internet.
No. I've not seen anyone even really talk about it, except to shit-talk it. I've seen people comparing it unfavorably to Cyberpunk 2077, and you know what? Yeah. CP2077 has a ton of issues but it looks good and the combat is actually fun and exciting. Starfield looks like crap. Not just technically, the visual design is incredibly bland, and there's literally nothing about the boring, empty setting they've created that is compelling or even original. They steal the inciting incident from Mass Effect and make it more boring. They undercut themselves everywhere by not allowing you to get into a ship, take off, and fly to another planet and land on it.
It's just so fucking bland and I've seen nobody have anything good to say on it.
Holy shit it is mass effect LMAO. The ending is just No Man's Sky.
