Maybe the person is a fan of Minecraft or Deep Rock Galactic.
I knew the discourse around Starfield was going to be a shitshow but I was not prepared for just how bad it could get. People are harping on and on about low review scores. The playstation fanboys on Twitter especially have been beyond insufferable. Even game devs are taking potshots at the game. Youtube/Twitch influencers are still testing the waters to see which side of the outrage they should land on to maximize engagement. People in the Star Citizen subreddit are pointing to 'flaws' in the game (such as not having atmospheric flight) as justification for why it's actually okay for Star Citizen to remain in development/unfinished for the rest of their lives.
It's going to be a complete disaster. And the thing is, WOD/Bloodlines fans will put up with almost anything in terms of bugs/game design issues etc. if the writing is good. That's what they've been doing for the last 20 years with Bloodlines. That's what has kept the flame of hope alive for this game. But the writing has to be good.
Starfield has to be the most attacked game in recent years. I could see that the game has weaknesses and oversights, but there are also many people who obviously haven't played the game trying extremely hard to discredit it.
I don’t necessarily think FFXVI will be EGS exclusive. Seems to be mostly Nomura or Nomura-adjacent titles that Epic has bought.
I don't know how big your previous monitor was, but this could be related to size. People who are susceptible to motion sickness from games often have more of an issue the more of their field of view is taken up by the display.
I think that's the real reason for the state of much of the online discourse.
However, the state of the PC version - both in terms of features and in terms of performance - leaves a lot to be desired. Especially for a game which had such a long dev cycle and this level of budget, I really cannot understand how some of these issues can ship.
I can confirm - I had no issues with Doom (1993) on my old 27" monitor, could play one or two levels without getting queasy, but the second I switched to 42" I got god levels of nausea, immediately.
It's weird the things Square remembers to remove Denuvo from and not. NieR got it removed for example in 2021, both Automata and Replicant.
FWIW, an editor from VG247 says that's not the case.
In the case of automata, it might be related to when they updated the game with the winstore fixes.
My old monitor was 27". I'll try to keep more distance from the screen tonight, but that's not easy when playing with mouse and keyboard.

They always were, just typical lies with square enix and sony
I couldn't be less excited for a game. The FFVII remake, while very pretty, bored me to tears, and I didn't even make it 8 hours in. I have 73 minutes logged in FFXV. I think modern Final Fantasy is just not for me(with the exception of FF14). Shallow, nonsensical spectacles.
EGS would be a mercy as it would save people who refuse to listen me about how terrible this game is a lot of money.
To be fair you didn't even listen to yourself. After playing the demo you said was bad, you bought it anyway!
There is a lot more to this that I'm guessing just goes to show you were their mind currently is at now.
This is the first “official PR” announcement. All the other mentions were side comments during live streams or interviews
