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.

    The little I've seen and the lot I've heard make it seem like the game is just bad. The only video I remember is someone doing a mass shooting where only a few of the npcs reacted slowly. The streamers I watched played it for like one day because they got sponsored before going back to whatever else they were playing, which for one was a third playthrough of Bg3 before playing Cyberpunk.

    The top streamers for it are in ~250 range lol, I have no interest in even pirating it and cannot imagine I ever will.

      A guy I follow on youtube is pretty into TES, he made a 150 episodes playthrough of Skyrim using Legacy of the Dragonborn, also played the Bethesda Fallout games, he played Starfield for 16 episodes before just giving up out of boredom and doing a cyberpunk playthrough now lol
