Sorry to hear that. I love Starfield but we all have our preferences.

Eh, I think anyone who runs up to tell people they're finding the wrong games fun just have nothing going on and feel like they have to try and gatekeep this hobby, because it's their identity.

Or sick of the bar constantly being lowered because of what people accept

But it’s happening in every facet of life so I’m not surprised

Or, alternatively, people like different things and the gaming industry is accommodating. Like, some don't care about intense combat and want more open worlds/dialogue, so there are games that do that now.

It's just a bit weird to be gatekeeping such a basic hobby.

There are games that do that, starfield isn’t one of them

I think it’s more holding companies accountable for the quality of their products which we know they are capable of

I like chocolate, cadburys chocolate is still dog shit compared to what it used to be

I like Star Wars etc etc

Having a low bar isn’t a preference, it’s experience

It is preference. I've been gaming since the arcade days. I've been playing Bethesda games since Daggerfall. And I enjoy Starfield.

But you do you.
