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.
Even the smaller side quests are like this. I was especially pissed at the "Help the space police" event where you visit the space FBI to recover a police asset and there's no option to steal or destroy it. The quest just plays straight and I decided to just never turn it in because anything else is too disappointing.
Then there's the fucking random arrest into police informant shit which just fucking sucks.
you can eventually kill the cops without consequence which was the only part of the game I liked
holy based
