To call this an anime is just plain wrong. This is a series of animated shorts, completely unvoiced to boot. I’d have saved some time flipping through storyboard pictures. But still, it’s always nice to see games branch out in these ways. Just wish people would call things what they are cause I had completely different expectations going in.

Right? I mean, I don’t discredit Bethesda too much on the production quality, they’re cute animated shorts it’s just I wish the media wouldn’t try to spin it a certain way to get clicks.

Give them a break. All five voice actors were busy.

There’s a lot of build up for Starfield. A lot of pressure and a lot of expectations. Hoping it’s decent

I feel like the game is largely an unknown at this point. We saw some gameplay but I feel like I would want to wait for reviews. Bethesda has a strong track record though so I’m hoping it should be good.

“Bethesda has a strong track record though” i mean… do they?

their games sell a lot of units but i can’t remember any time since morrowind that they launched a game that received widespread praise for anything other than its technical merits, and i say this as someone who still dips back into heavily modded TES games a few times a year :/

They have a strong track record of releasing broken games with potential, potential that mod makers actually pull out of the game while Bethesda reaps massive profits

They (Bethesda) have a track record of making great games, even counting all the buggy, glitchy, janky bullshit that comes with them. I’m not expecting a total failure or a smooth launch based on literally every game they’ve put out since I discovered them with Morrowind. A good game, with the same jank and maybe even new jank is what I’m expecting.

The jank is part of the charm. Who doesn’t remember Skyrim Horsing their way up a mountain?

Well even if it isn’t, we’ll shove it full of mods anyway.

If star field is bad, this anime will be seen as an early attempt to copy cp2077 to save the games rep.
