    Games like Starfield are proof gamers will only accept the bitter pill of newness, if it is surrounded by the over processed familiarity of old cheese.

    Social Media especially when it comes to gaming is a hivemind. FO3, 4 and Skyrim at the time were amazing and still are (FO4 and Skyrim still have quite high playercounts in steam). Starfield isn’t great but this doesn’t take away from other games.

    Great video, great guy. Always happy to see a Nakey Jakey video! It feels like he’s the only one who really sees how things are. Its too bad consumers accept video games as they are right now.

      Considering how expensive they’re getting, I certainly started to wait a couple of days/weeks before purchasing anything now.

      With the current state of the industry, it’s saved both my time & money several times this year (unfortunately). Too many games I was excited for turned out to be unoptimised rubbish.

        Same! I have been very happy since becoming more patient with buying games after release. Has saved me money too!
