Starfield breaks 1 million concurrent players across all platforms: a 'great milestone,' Phil Spencer says
Is it really, though? Well, it depends.

If it were genuinely GOTY it would speak for itself, the steam reviews and universal user impressions would reflect that, but yet here you are defending it instead of playing it. Shame.
You claimed that people weren't generating hype for the game. You've since been shown that was not true (yourself included) and now you want to claim that I'm upset that you were hyped for the game because I've shown you that you were indeed hyped for it?
At least we've now got to a stage where you're admitting to the fact that you were hyping it up. Silver linings and all that.
So wait. If I say I'm excited for something, that's me creating hype?
What crazy world is that. You want me to not express my excitement for something? Fuck that.
I'm at the gym right now and I can't wait to get back to the game but I like coming on here and seeing the salt from people like you.
Makes me wonder, do you actually play or enjoy any games...do you get excited for anything? It sounds like a you problem not one with me if you can't handle someone being genuinely excited for something.

Game was fucking hype to oblivion don't act like it didn't because people ain't stupid. It was hyped by the media and fans alike since they first revealed the game back in 2022.

Why are you insistent on being purposefully obtuse?
I don't have a problem with anyone being hyped about a game, and more to the point that's not what this is exchange is about.
You claimed that nobody was hyping the game up. That clearly isn't true, even more so because you yourself were involved in the hype campaign for this game. That is where the problem lies, the disingenuous bullshit.
If you're going to participate in some massive hype train for a game then fucking own it of it happens to run out of fuel and/or spectacularly crash and burn. There's no shame in it.

There have been plenty of claims that this game would be GOTG. I know
ManaByte
has said that. As did others. Nothing wrong with folks making predictions. But trying to pretend this game wasn’t hyped? Come on. Bethesda’s 45 minute showcase was a pure hype machine.

You tell us. You said MS was betting everything on this game. What other type of game you do that other than a GOTG or GOTY type of game?
Edit: More:
Said that the game will be played for a decade:

100% this is microsofts big game for this year.
Anyway I'll leave ypu guys to it. I seem to get warnings and thread bans when I respond to you guys so someone is always looking for something to report me for. I'll gracefully bow out and leave you guys to it.

I’ve been able to use every mod I’ve tried on the gamepass version thus far. No issues with it at all..

GHG Whats more worrying and disingenuous is your obsession with this game and shittong on it plus anyone who is enjoying it. I just clicked on your post history to see if you're excited for anything and it was just lists of posts in starfield threads insulting people etc. It's concerning.
When there's nothing left to say get personal. Every time, incredible.
Sorry for not being the resident hype-man.

"So what if this game, me and several others, hyped the fuck out of for the last year(s), isn't very good? I only come here anyway in between reps at the gym to see what you haters are saying.
Normally I'm too busy lifting and getting laid. Games are for nerds anyway."

That was 2023? Holy shit, time flies. I hope that even if it doesn't end up running for GOTY, it deserves a place in Art Direction, Both Ori games are undeniably super beautiful.Not to shit the thread up, but on the theme of Xbox and GOTG contenders:
I’m about to start Ori and the Will of the Wisps on my Switch OLED. A game nobody can deny is worth playing.
Back on Starfield, When it's done being patched and get some more mods, I think it'll end up being a better game than Fallout 4, shame we're gonna need some heavy hitting mods to connect the maps properly.

It is without embellishment one of the best PC games I've played this year from a performance perspective at launch. I still haven't gone back to Star Wars because it's still so poor ( though I'm hopeful with the newest DLSS patch). It might not be the best optimized but it's hardly poor.

Effort doesn't really count unless it's integrated well.
Blend a bunch of mediocre systems together. Is it ambitious because they did so...or did they waste everyone's time and should have made a more "safe and cohesive, well playing" title instead? Definitely the latter for me. They don't get brownie points for effort if the execution isnt there

Why not? Fallout 76 has been tweaked and updated by Bethesda so the current rating for the game reflects that. The game was a mess at launch but with all the updates it has settled at the current steam rating.
At the current state, it seems that Starfield is worst than the current updated Fallout 76 version. So why shouldn't it be rated less than Fallout 76?

Wrong.
The game was hyped since 2018.

Effort is weak ass excuse.
Bethesda needs to get crucified for this game. They ruined the appeal that was freaking space.
I would have forgave them, if they made tes6 first. But the fact that they delayed that game to make this, makes it hard for me to forgive them.

I meant when they showed the actual game for the first time, if I'm not mistaken it was in 2022.

Diablo performed better than this, Starfield is more in the realm of BG3 act 3 performance with way more bugs.....ive played 18 hours now and ive counted 30 people floating from their chairs into the sky out of a ship or half their body in the ground or them running into walls continuously - I also got stuck on small debris 5 times.

That 2022 was rough as hell. People didn't like the gameplay and weren't sold that much.
2023 showcase is when the hype went through the roof with that showcase.

Congratulations on experiencing Bethesda game.
That is very normal launch experience.
Cpdr and Bethesda are like sisters in this department. Release a buggy game and fix it later.

What does this mean? 2023 is this year so if you felt like that was a lot of time isn't it the opposite?
On a sour note, had to leave a negative review on steam for starfailed. Yeah.

Cretinously credulous
So how high you guys reckon the concurrent players count could be on Steam if Starfield wasnt on gamepass? I estimate at least 700k (right now it's >300k on steam).
Now I don't really know if gamepass revenue from this could really compensate for actual sales ($70 per piece) but I personally feel that gamepass really fucks over big games in final revenue department.

1m+ easily. Right now, it's 325k. Even after all these reviews and gamepass.

That was me when rashford scored the first goal and garnacho scored the offside goal.
Let's just say both side had enough of heart attacks that day.

At least your club is doing it's job. Meanwhile, we are playing a certain guy at 6, got injured in the process and the club can't do anything due to the innocent law.

The discourse surrounding this game has been fascinating to witness on Steam. There are some people blaming the mythical "Sony pony" for this games' demise on the platform.
Starfield :: Steam Community
steamcommunity.com
Never seen anything like it before.
It's such a ridiculous conclusion to draw that it makes me wonder if that person is being genuine or simply attempting to spread a narrative. I'm inclined to go with the latter in many cases, but am also aware some people are that heavily invested in the "war" which can blunt their perception and understanding.
