You can see xbox fans are nervous that this could end to be a disaster with technical issues. It's pretty funny how a game that MS has purchased and cancelled for the PS5 is coming earlier then their own announced games from pre-2019.
It's shows that Xbox wasn't prepared to release a new console with content in 2020. But Hype? sure their is hype but it's not the hype Spiderman 2 generates with a single youtube clip or even Insta clips. Or Balders Gate 3. I don't know what Microsoft is doing, but they are market the game in the wrong way.
Starfield already should've had a big marketing push from Microsoft.

Not hype but pressure disguised as hype. A lot of people and Microsoft need this game to be the game of the generation. It's not enough for it it to be good, it will make xbox as brand look terrible especially this year when every game that comes out has stolen the game of the year conversation. So of course the xbox regulars on Twitter are hyping it up they need it to be the second coming of Christ, or else Microsofts aquisition strategy will come under greater question from consumers.
Better not be trash.

You forgot to change to global. Your pic only represents the US.Well all of those games have released and people interested in knowing more about the game or googling to get help with a certain quest or item or whatnot are going to show up there.
Here's a more representative sample. This is a 1-week span ~2 weeks before launch of Baldur's Gate 3 (as an example), the same point in time we are with Starfield's launch:
There were more people Googling "Starfield" than there were people Googling "Baldur's Gate 3" 2 weeks before launch of BG3.

It has 1000 planets, 10% means you have 100 planets with habitats to explore.

It's probably going to be an amazing game and Xbox fans deserve it after all these years of mediocrity, but honestly, outside of Neogaf, I barely see anything about it.

I don't know about that. From the podcasts I listen to it sounds like BG3 is huuuuuge on social media.
I don't think starfield will have that reach. Unless its bugs. Launching people into space or something. Fuck knows what Social media latches onto. Fucking bears or whatever.

I say it'll depend how the game is executed. The whole space exploration thing is still a huge unknow, there's a real risk of them falling into the same traps NMS did.

As much as I want to see Starfield hype, all I have seen is console warring on my socials.

I'm kind of excited for the game, I want it to be good, just have a nagging feeling of concern. I'm ready for a new Bethesda open world game, but Fallout 4 didn't do it for me and I really just want Elder Scrolls VI. But I'm open to this being really good, but space isn't normally my thing. I've already ordered this on Steam. No idea how well it will actually do.

I haven't seen any hype.
I think I'm whelmed. After fallout 4 I'm in a wait and see approach. They burned me so much with that release and coupled with mass effect Andromeda I think I have ptsd over game premises that sounds up my alley.

Lmao sure bud, when Todd said it runs at 1440p on Series S, that means that theres not a huge disaster as then it would be 1080p.
So tales from your ass basically

Lmao noone was excited for Mass Effect Andromeda, it was always gonna be a piece of shit after the boring dragon age inquisition
Bioware hasnt made a good game in years

If this game will have some technicall issues on the PC, it already could be a disaster for this game. The pressure is high but you must not have noticed it.
All the laughing emotes kind of give it away. And fyi, i have pre-ordered the Constellation Edition for PC (steam), but i'm still a bit sceptical about things I've seen. Like a lot of people already said here, it's more xbox fans (and fanboys) on social media hyping it up but there isn't much marketing push atm from MS and we are just 2 weeks away.

That's just not true. After it came out and everyone saw it was a turd, yes the reaction changed.

Not gonna lie, I have heard very little hype surrounding Starfield, both in real-life with friends and family as well as in my internet bubble. But that's probably because I don't have an Xbox, and neither does my direct environment. I love Bethesda games, and I wish them the best of luck. But after being acquired by Microsoft, I sometimes genuinely forget they exist. Seems like the holy algorithm is doing its job.

I don't know if that's happened, I'm not a fan so haven't paid attention. But, if I must comment on all bad faith posting by people who are giving their opinion of how well a game will/does play based on not how the game will/does play but on it being exclusive to what they consider a "rival" console, then my verdict is that those posts are all stupid and should be shunned, not celebrated.

Ask the xbox fans not me. The fact that twitter is full of fans hyping instead of MS itself, shows it a bit that people are nervous.

As a huge ME1 and 2 fan, ME3 was already going in a worse direction, and Dragon Age Inquisition was so boring and devoid of any interesting characters, that I had zero faith in Bioware at that point.

They are not going to make 100 cities. It's gonna be a couple of handcrafted cities and the rest will be larglely procedual generated. Anyway, that's my guess.

I’m not seeing the hype honestly especially from Microsoft. I think some XBOX gamers will check it out on Gamepass out of curiosity because they might recognize the name, but I guess you never know. I’m expecting the game to be really good which is why I wonder why Microsoft isn’t shouting about this game from the highest mountain tops.

Bg3 is filled with bugs and technical issues, there are patches on the way that fix 1000+ issues. Its also one of the highest rated games right now.
Also, bsg have traditionally never had a huge marketing push as in multiple videos trailers etc before launch.
You can bet we will get a official launch trailer and perhaps an accolades trailer after reviews have dropped but that will be it.
Ms will be doing marketing on YT and other places, but probably starting a week from launch.
This dumb concern trolling has got to stop.
The game comes out in three weeks (official launch). The marketing will start a week from launch at least.

Yeah we shouldnt expect a studio that focusses on exactly the type of game their making, to be good at making those types of games.
Skyrim was a turd after all

Come on, so what! Why does this bother some of you guys so much?
Some of you guys focus so much of your attention and time on this shit, that it starts to make some of you guys look a little unstable in the brain department?
Relax, go pick up a Series S and enjoy the game.

Starfield hype ever since MS bought them is funny.
Like Elden Ring didn’t release last year or something.
And RDR2 really? Already going there?
Marathon had more views in its debut trailer than Starfield.
But sure, it’s the most hyped game ever, by some people.

I thought fallout 4 was quite polished compared to skyrim and fo3
So out of 10 planets in a solar system only 1 is habitable, theres also loading times to each planet, sounds amazing

Man, I was super hyped for the first entry on PS4 but now it feels like they’re selling the same game for the third time so it’s hard to get excited for me.

Does this account for people abbreviating to BG3 or leaving out the apostrophe?You forgot to change to global. Your pic only represents the US.

I disagree. Starfield is going to be huge on PC just like BG3. With the addition of Xbox and Game Pass, and arguably a more mainstream appeal, I think this game is going to blow up.

From what i understand, it shows trends on the specific topic as long as you select it as such. You can set it to show trends for specific search terms too.

I have no idea why this is a thread. You guys all need to calm down. I leave for 5 minutes and you're all comparing google searches like sales charts. Go outside or call your mom.

Is it because you made a threat about it? I'm seeing hype but massive? And it's not just because you're on this community and whatever you want to think about it. I do my own research and have my own pulse I just don't make a threat about it. I can tell you that the hype regarding this game feels less than the hype I saw for baldur's gate 3 so I'm not just isolating some console exclusive as it's a multiplatform game. Take of that what you will. And good looking life, make wise decisions.

The issue is why it hasn't already. Its a space rpg made by Bethesda that was being hyped even before it was properly announced. This shouldn't be a sleeping hit people were overlooking until release like BG3 or The Witcher 3

I have no doubts about the content of this game, it is a Bethesda game, it's going to have everything and more that you would expect from Bethesda.
However, being a Bethesda game means it will be horribly buggy.
I really hope it's not unplayable on PC at launch but im expecting it to be completely fucked at launch.
