Starfield has been getting a lot of attention lately, leaving many people to wonder if it's being overhyped. A reader, Dalton, has suggested five reasons why the game could ultimately disappoint.
Social media has made it seem like Starfield is the best game ever or an absolute scam, leaving no room for middle ground. Dalton argues that it will likely be good, but there are a few key issues that could lead to disappointment. For one, Bethesda is known for releasing games that are not fully polished, and Starfield will likely follow this trend.
Facial animation is another recurring issue with Bethesda, and though they have claimed it has improved, it still looks fairly stiff and robotic. The dialogue in their games is also usually cheesy and uninspired, and Starfield seems to be no exception.
Xbox and PlayStation fans have been eagerly waiting for the game's release, but Dalton is more excited for Star Wars Outlaws. Though Bethesda has recruited Id Software to help with gunplay, space combat is still expected to be a bit lackluster. And even though Starfield is a sci-fi adventure, it still includes the classic Bethesda lockpicking minigame, which could lead to a feeling of it being too familiar.
It's yet to be seen if the hype surrounding Starfield is worth it, and only time will tell if it lives up to expectations.
