Who hyped it up though?. People keep saying this and MS built it as its 'saviour' etc, yet in the hype thread people were saying there is no hype for the game and that MS are not even advertising the game and 'dont know what they are doing', literally 2 or 3 days before launch.
Wow, that's some backseat moderation and needless accusations on mods, my friend. Also, as usual, the weird persecution complex.
For your reading pleasure.
What, this guy? No way!
Wait a minute...
But...
Thst links to a post of a user on here saying he feels the game has a 'game of the generation' feel to him. How do you know the game isnt 'game of the generation' to him?. And what does that have to do with MS hyping the game up themselves?.For your reading pleasure.
Hype - Platform - Starfield has 'Mixed' reviews on Steam (Up: 'Recent' reviews are Mostly Negative)
I call BS. I am locked 60 fps in ultrawide 1440p with no issues with literally the same setup. 5950X, 3080 TI 32 GB RAM. 18 hours of play (more because I lost a few hours after I loaded a previous save to change some decisions) I don't think the performance he is having equates to the game...www.neogaf.com
Selling less than Dead Island 2 in physical sales is below any kind of expectations.So basically, week 1 physical sales in the UK are in line with what most of you have been saying for months (Gamepass effect on physical xbox Sales) but you’re spinning it to ‘poor sales’ and even comparing to FFXVI that definitely did not launch day one on a subscription service?

You asked the question i gave you the answer of who hyped it.
So people, especially us gamers, are not allowed to get excited and hyped for a game?.
Determination of underperformance requires establishment of performance targets and performance metrics. So, let's take a look what you've picked here.
Good Lord please tell me you don't do your own taxes?
Nope never said gamers aren't allowed to get hyped for a game, never said it was wrong for anyone to. But people did overhype it with comments like "game of the generation"
Ms didn't hype up the game?
So tell me, in the context of UK physical sales... Final Fantasy flopped but Starfield, while selling less, is huge? Or when you said huuuuge did you mean huge flop?
No according to poeple in the 'Hype' thread no they didnt, some people even said they didnt know what they were doing. Now the game releasaed and its all 'MS hyping it as their savior' etc.
Oh the irony.

Reeee mods couldn't handle the truth
EviLore
and mods, can we make a thread pointing out what's going on over there? We see it in multiple threads here making a dedicated thread that points out their hypocrisy, necessary.
What irony? There are people who didn't hype it, and there are people who overhyped it i can agree with that and see that was the case. But you choose to ignore the latter.
Well it is the most played Bethesda game at launch, unless Bethesda are straight lying. As for the other points, has any of it been refuted yet?.
Again whats wrong with that though, if its gamers themselves doing it?. And what, if said game doesnt reach them heights (in your opinion), you then shoot down them gamers and rub it in?.
That's not what you were asking for. You were arguing with
jm89
that "Microsoft did not hype Starfield." 
Right and what have those articles got to do with MS thremselves (and dont tell me thats not what i meant as i clearly staed MS themselves in that orig post), as AGAIN thats what i'm talking about, the people on here that suggest it was MS themselves doing all this hype.That's not what you were asking for.
But anyway ... here are the "Xbox saviour articles." (not sure why you want them though)
This is important and I feel like everyone needs to read this post and understand what's going on over at Reeee.
I'm member of that forum, I haven't posted there since early 2023. Why? Because you can not speak freely there. In particular, saying something like "Phil needs to go" or "XBOX needs better leader leadership" is a bannable offence. Look at what this guy got banned for, receipts.
Says the nutcase defending the game as if his life is on the line.
That's a comparison.
Bro, he is literally using the words of that it's been a huge year for games. Why is everyone so insecure over this game? It's just a game.
Right is that unusual for a studio/publisher to hype their own games? (and again where are the 'saviour' articles and quotes from MS themselves?). And in what way have they been proven wrong anyway. Until we get actual numbers, its all guesswork anyway.MS was hyping it.
I just showed you the receipts like 2 minutes ago.
So you are saying he is comparing huge games for the year?
Xbox is like 70% digital and the game is on gamepass… for it to be up there with Diablo 4 a game that can only be bought it huge.Phil and the Xbox team bet everything on this game.
As good as these numbers are, they're still not 'game of a generation/will turn things around' level.
I wonder how much of an impact it had on the hardware tho
he lost the plot
Your response is, "So what?" when you were arguing with
jm89
that they never hyped it up?
It doesn't upset me. I am pointing out he is comparing games, which makes it a comparison.He is showing what games have been huge this year. If it upsets you that starfield is one of them then....
he lost the plot
