You can read the controversy here (other devs found it too simplistic and blamed Bethesda employees for not caring about their work, Pete Hines fired back):

No one wants to admit it but Mass Effect 1-3 is the benchmark for all things related to galactic exploration. Had they added more to the title screen it would have drawn comparisons to Mass Effect 1 and that would have been its own problem.

It's not like Skyrim has a good title screen either. The only good part is the music ramping up. Better to be its own thing than compared to greatness before it. Also people really do like to complain about everything for no reason instead of just enjoying it

Is that the actual final game shot launcher cos, yes it does look a bit underwhelming, bland is probably how I would describe it.

It’s not a big deal? For whatever reason; priorities, stylistic choice or budget.

I did like Fallout 4’s opening tho. Set its atmosphere nicely.

It's a minimalistic Title Screen,

Would you prefer a Fortnite one with options to buy 3 types of MTX?

Might not be a big deal in the long run, but aesthetically it does look like the bare minimum of effort has been put into it.

Surely it can't be difficult to come up with something nicer?

lame controversy it's a fucking title screen

It’s nothing but a guy trying to get a Twitter check. Just like how monetization killed YouTube, it’ll kill Twitter

I think it's actually really nice and simple. I wish we had more of this type of title screens.

 

[Gods&Monsters]

There is no real controversy. Just Xbox fans feeling like victims "See? They are even attacking our menu screen". Boring.

Looks poor indeed. Minimalist is not the issue - it’s the lack of cohesion. Something an amateur would put together using windows paint simply overlaying boxes with no blending or thought behind it.

Let’s see if that dufus is proven right by what’s inside.

 

[Darth Vader]

Why is this a problem? Its a title screen, where people either launch the gameplay options or the game options.

What a stupid thing to complain about.

 

[Remember_Spinal]

Its literally one guy everyone is responding to and boosting

 

[Remij]

Dumbest shit ever.

 

[Killer_Sakoman]

I don't see the problem, but it could have looked better

The gaming "controversies" this month are extremely stupid, convincing me to scale back gaming news consumption.

It's just bitching for the sake of bitching.

starfield is the Final Fantasy XVI of Xbox

True, PlayStation didn’t have much to do with FF16 and Xbox didn’t have much to do with Starfield both just paid for exclusive access

 

[Zzero]

If that ten paragraphs of nonsense didn't convince you of The Gamer's non-worth then the link to their bitching about people giving Hogwarts Legacy coverage and reviews, which they helpfully included right below this article, surely did the trick, right?

 

[Old Gamer]

It's just a fucking title screen. What the hell.
