It sure feels impossible to have an honest conversation about Starfield online right now.

I am so incredibly sick of posts about starfield.
And I’m really sick of people complaining about seeing posts on topics they personally aren’t interested in, instead of just scrolling by.
Looks like neither of us has gotten what they want today.
You've personally posted gaming "journalism" articles about starfield on !gaming at least once a day for nearly every day of the past 10 days. So excuse me but I'm a bit fucking fed up with "scrolling by" dozens of times in an attempt to find actual substantial discussions. Every time something is posted about the problem can literally be solved by not fucking buying it if you don't want to.
I apologize for sounding a bit vitriolic about this, but I hate when a valid complaint about this is responded to by just saying "don't look at it lulz." How about a solution to that problem would be you posting things that actually start interesting conversations instead?
And yeah sure it's the next big game so of course it'll have media coverage about it. But I don't really think much of anything I've read about this game has been really substantive in the gaming journalism space. I don't remember reading something and actually wanting to care.
In my original comment I wasn't insulting you personally, mind you. A lot of people have been posting about this game.
Then block me. The block button is not hard to get to. Then you will never, ever have to scroll by anything I post again.
The power to control what YOU see is in YOUR hands!
Yeah I was gonna block you anyway? But acting like the idea that you can post more substantive things isn't even on the table is just weird. You literally could just not post these nothingburger articles...
Have a lovely day.
You as well. Goodbye!
Just to go on the other side, you're clearly a substantial poster of interesting content on the gaming Fediverse, even if it ends up as articles about the latest large games. You also participate in the comments sections with pretty level opinions, and it blows my mind that that person was calling this a "nothingburger" of a post even though they're obviously bookended by tons of engagement.
Just absurd. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Yeah i'm with the other guy. On one hand lemmy need content, so talking about the lastest exciting thing makes sense, on the other hand there's that dude whining about content they don't like to see instead of keep scrolling.
Keep doing them good work dude.
The content police huh? The time you spent whining could’ve been spent enjoying your day and blocking him without acting obnoxious.
Try and comment something more substantive next time instead of these nothingburger comments…
Have a lovely day.
Go home
If you're struggling to find "substantial" conversations on topics you want to talk about, maybe you should be the one to initiate those conversations.

Come on man, I’ve seen you around a lot and I know you post a lot of good stuff, but to be fair, you’re not blameless here. I get that you’re not interested in a game and it’s frustrating to see lots of posts about it dominating your feed, but clearly the OP is interested and excited about it, and basically telling them to shut up about their interest just because it’s not what you want to hear about is a mean thing to do. It would be different if they posted spam links to their own blog every single day or something like that but they post all sorts of relevant news links to various communities so I think they just share stories they’re interested in, and that’s valuable to the community too! We all should be working together to build a nice friendly community to talk about what we enjoy and sometimes that means we have to tolerate others quirks and discussing things we don’t particularly care for.
I was remarking about how the comment to "just scroll past it" would hold more weight if there wasn't a whole lot of scrolling to do.
They were right. I genuinely had to block them to see no more starfield posts from the past week or so except a few here and there.
I actually can't make a determination until I do buy a game lol. You would have everyone what not buy it in the first place?
I simply play the game from gamepass, cheaper that way
Well so did I, but I also bought into whole ecosystem for this game (Series X). So I'm actually pretty disappointed in how its turned out. First it was the 30fps thing, got over that then saw the reviews and thought this could be great. Then I started playing and hit all the load screens. Thats when I realised I was not going to align with the 10/10 reviews lol. I personally have it somewhere between 6 and 7. But parts can be a 4 to me (immersion) and parts can be an 8 or even 9 (working through a 'dungeon' picking locks, sniping, setting up ambushes etc)
So yeah a bit of a head scratcher.
What I'm saying is that if a game doesn't look interesting then don't buy it. If you're on the fence then at least wait a little bit for the reviews to "simmer down" if you will. I've seen it with basically every AAA game of the past few years. Some people hate it, some people absolutely love it, so they bombard reviews with those going in both directions. Wait til you start seeing more reviews from normal people, rather than those trying to seek attention and you'll see reviews that weigh both the pros and the cons.
But yeah I mean if the game really doesn't look that interesting to you then just don't buy it! I've never been interested in RTS games, so you know how many RTS games I own? Zero!
Respectfully, you are in a gaming forum, and starfield is one of the biggest games that has come out this year.
This comment contributes nothing to the topic the thread is about, besides getting a rise out of people.
Please think about this before commenting in the future. Thank you
Youre right and I'm sorry
Thanks for understanding <3
Not really sure what response you’re looking for here. Perhaps the same one as going into any community and saying “I’m so tired of hearing about [major thing that happened recently related to the community].”
“God damn I’m so tired of hearing about the Super Bowl, it’s been a freaking week can y’all just get over it?”
“God damn I’m so tired of hearing about the Super Bowl, it’s been a freaking week can y’all just get over it?”
Literally yes.
Here's a thought, not everything requires a response.
Fuck dem owls
It's just easy views when a big company releases a typical, lukewarm big company game I guess. These articles have been especially low quality though...
