You tend to use hyperbole a lot, I'm only mentioning it since I'm finding it tough to discern your sincere opinion. You say their shooting is below the industry standard. Let's dig into that. What is the industry standard for something like recoil and how is Bethesda falling short of that standard? Whenever I shoot the Equinox laser rifle while ADSing there's enough recoil that I'm no longer aiming at my initial target. There's also an accuracy stat on weapons that ties into the recoil. If Bethesda is not meeting the industry standard on recoil, what do you suggest they need to improve on to meet that standard?

Person with 20 hours in the game here.
The shooting in Starfield is shit. Its much better than in Fallout 4, but we're comparing explosive diarrhea with slightly moist crap here.
There can be a few hills to die on regarding Starfield, but shooting is absolutely not one of them.
Well, at least you disagree with anonpuffs who said "slightly more polished" than previous Bethesda games. I don't find their shooting to be shit and I find it quite enjoyable, you can tell a calibrated weapon from an uncalibrated one just from the shooting mechanics. That alone makes weapon modding more meaningful. You say this is a hill to die on and I'm wondering where the threat is coming from.
The scent of freshly-cut Astroturf wafts from every one of your posts, man.
He said it’s not a hill to die on. Because it’s not. Because the shooting really sucks.
Everything @anonpuffs described is 100% how the game feels.
To be clear, I currently don't feel like the argument that Starfield's shooting is good is under any threat. Anonpuffs and Satoru seem to be in disagreement at the degree to which Starfield shooting is an improvement over other Bethesda titles. If you are in agreement with Anonpuffs please help me out with my earlier inquiry:
But who is threating you? I just said it's not a hill to die on, because it isn't. There's a few things this game does well, and this is not one of them.
When I say threat, don't take it literally, I was just trying to playfully extend the "Hill to die upon" idiom.
It hasn’t tracked to number 1 (yet?) on XBL most played. It’s at no. 3 one week since early access.
Umm… if that doesn’t happen that will be hugely concerning. Indicates gamespass subs are low or stagnating or whatever it ends up looking like.
If this doesn’t exponentially increase gamespass subs they’re going to have to backpedal on offering day 1 launches for tentpole release on the service.

Steam user scores at 74% and rapidly dropping day by day.

It won’t happen. People are still not talking about Starfield outside gaming forums and xbots twitter. The game has flopped.
Usually Sundays are the highest CCU for big releases. The peak should be in 4-5 hours.
Yesterday it went up to 314k so today it could go up to 350k maybe?
BG3 is at 446k right now.

Lol, this seems like an account that won't last long here.
Bye, bye. Cope on colt's channel. What's your next saviour going to be? Fable? Avowed? If you put a fraction of your energy on demanding better from xbox, you'd be in a much better mental state than your copium filled breakdown you've been in for years.
