Comment on What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)?

Starfield. I mean, I didn’t really, really enjoy it, but it was fun to me. It has issues I can’t overlook, like wish we had more factions and more NPC settlements. Player created settlements do not full that void no matter what they add to the game. Hundreds of systems and only like 5/6 of them have major settlements that you can visit for actual quests. Aligning with the pirates is cool but then you’re only left with the Spacers as the only true enemy faction which sucks. I hate going to some world and there being friendly pirates. I wanted a firefight, not walk around and hear NPCs talk about being tough.
Bonus is Crackdown, the newest one with Terry Crews. I’m a big fan of the first game and semi liked the second, but the newest felt like a better return to the original without the dumb zombie invasion. Wish we had more gangs and all that. But open world mayhem as a supercharged cop is so much fun to me that I still go back and play the original in an emulator.

I still don’t think that it’s a bad game. I can understand some of the complaints, but it really amounts to a “does not equal some prior games in the series relative to their release times” for me.
One of the big ones, wanting to wander around a big outdoor overmap and just stumble into things, mostly also applied to the kinda-Fallout-like The Outer Worlds, and it didn’t take nearly the Steam review beating that Starfield did — I’d call The Outer Worlds a substantially worse game, myself.
