I meant to discuss Souls games’ exclusion of difficulty sliders in a vacuum, separate from the Garfield discussion.
As prefaced in my comment, I agree with your points about Garfield: the developers should definitely be held accountable for their shortcomings and for hyping up a product that falls flat of its promised contend.
But I don’t agree with difficulty sliders being shunned by the “hardcore” community. I feel like this nurtures an elitist environment that doesn’t do its fanbase any good other than gatekeeping and separating fans.
Again, just a separate discussion altogether, not related to the Garfield discussion.
I love how people keep asking this question, yet nobody is answering us when we do. Almost like they can’t name a single thing Bethesda promised that we didn’t get.
But OMG, the landing sequence isn’t seamless. Let’s burn the game to the ground.
I’d love to see a summarized list of the one you (or others) find truly important. I am not sitting through 30 minutes of his annoying voice.
I did spot-check through and every complaint he brought up was inane and subjective, like not liking the design of the space suits, or just plain cherry-picked.
I have nowhere near a bleeding edge gaming rig, and I get 60fps on High and 30fps on Ultra. I also have a decent experience playing it on XBox’s cloud streaming, nice and cheap. And the bugs he’s depicted? I haven’t seen them, so I’ll just have to trust him on that.
I haven’t played the game myself, tbf - just mirroring other people’s opinions of the game. The game could be amazing for all I know - I just know that the reviews haven’t been stellar and that the community response to the game isn’t all too great.
Reviews seem to have hovered around 7 which is think is fair and by far from a bad title. I’d probably be a bit more lenient and go to an 8 due to the subject matter since I’m a huge sci-fi fan.
Reaction depends on the community, of all my big gaming friends in real life are enjoying it, as are the hosts of several podasts I listen to.

What shortcomings, what did Bethesda promise in Starfield that isn’t there?

Which I had seen Todd confirm to be the case months ahead of time. It was never going to be an Elite/NMS style game.

That’s totally cool, I’m not trying to devalue your experience or people’s experience at all!
