    Does that mean we have to wait 12 years for TES: VI while they milk this turd the whole time?

      We will get TES: VI when Starfield can run on a toaster for the 20th anniversary edition.

    I want to know how many sales they got. I’m sure I count in those 12 million players because I downloaded it from Game Pass and played for about 40 hours before losing every ounce of interest

    I got the game for free when I purchased my video card. I got past the boring, 12 hour “intro.”

    This game is just not doing it for me at all. Cities Skylines 2 got a bunch of negative reviews but I’ve played that significantly more than Starfield.

      This is the first criticism of Starfield I 100% agree with. In line with other Bethesda games, the intro is a real sleeper.

      I’d love a “Skip Intro” in the NG. Lucky we get to skip it in NG+ (minor spoiler I guess)

    It’s unlikely Bethesda is gonna replicate what CDPR has done with Cyberpunk and adress all the issues players have had with the game. If they claim support for years to come that would be the template. And just because 12 million people checked out the game, doesn’t mean it has an active playerbase.

        Because Starfield’s problems don’t have an easy fix. Cyberpunk had initial lack of optimization. Starfield lacks in writing and immersion, also some very basic areas like UI and loading-points. It’s a different mess. I enjoyed both games and hope Microsoft keeps their word and invests in the continued improvement of Starfield. I’d love to come back when it’s gotten better.
