[ShaiKhulud1989]

So did Starfield

Your point?

So did concord...

Oh cmon you guys are pathetic. I think the game looks like shit but if players are happy why are yall trying to downplay that

 

[MMaRsu]

What is this retarded pcgamer shit and why would you unironically post something from that moronic website?

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Point is, initial reception, especially since 5 days of expensive premium that creates 'can't be that I've played so-so game for that money' kinda response is a bad indicator. After initial hype and all sorts of 'but it's good' Starfield is sitting at mixed. True reception will be judged in a week. It is also not 81 but 78.75% according to steamdb and will slide down more eventually.

 

[rotorfire]

It's at 81%, right on the border of Very Positive. As the honeymoon dies down I expect it'll settle to Mostly Positive (70-79%).

Yeah I know. Why da fuck cares? One side trying to hate on this game (Xbox exclusive..Hmm) and another side trying to cancel it cause its woke. And then another side who is enjoying the game.

Not every game needs to be a 90+mc banger to be enjoyed. Even though i personally think it looks meh.

 

[GymWolf]

Good for them.

 

[STARSBarry]

I mean let's turn this around. If no one cares, why is there a thread about it?

Im just saying lets not take it that serious

 

[Klayzer]

And why is he posting if he doesn't care.

 

[Shaki12345]

Not really a big RPG kind of guy but I have a Series X here so I'll just go install it and try it. The Lumen and Nanite tech is something that really interests me. I get pulled out of a experience due to environmental pop-in quite easily so this game immediately got my attention.

 

[tamago84]

I remember when pcgamer had relevant information

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Not positive but very positive. Damn, the chuds getting a bit destroyed right now. Gotta keep an eye on that CCU, too.

 

[Hudo]

I wonder what Josh Sawyer is up to. Maybe Pillars of Eternity 3? I know he said he doesn't have much confidence in directing another one after the "failure" of PoE2. But that was quite some years ago...

 

[Killjoy-NL]

So did Spider-Man 2... oh wait, no

Guess which one was a commercial succes?

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Breaks Sales Records to Become Fastest-selling PlayStation Studios Game in PlayStation History

Today, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, developed by Insomniac Games in collaboration with PlayStation Studios and Marvel Games, has sold more than 2.5 million copies to become the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game in PlayStation history in the first 24...

Have to fill the quota of daily threads for people to be angry at Xbox over something.

Based on what he said a few months ago, it seems like he was just helping with Avowed's development

 

[SJRB]

People who spent 90 bucks on a game gaslight themselves and each other that it was definitely worth it.

Dude i spent like £1499 on a GPU just to play Monster Hunter Wilds max all at a good frame rate. I'm going to gas light the shit out of that game.

11/10 trust me.

 

[Bert Big Balls]

Mostly positive? Uh oh ... Chuds please help me ...

 

[nemiroff]

Oh shit. Quick. Someone counter this with nuh-uhs before the positivity takes hold.

 

[Rickyiez]

You guys are hating the game because of one person and pronouns, that's pathetic.

It's a solid and fun game, I'm enjoying it, plenty of people are enjoying it. I like it more than Rebirth Ngl

Gaslighting is now convincing yourself you like a game?

 

[GHG]

Getting strong deja vu here.

 

[MMaRsu]

And why is he posting if he doesn't care.

I care about the horrible threads and propaganda

[Gaiff]

So did Starfield

No. Starfield launched to mixed reviews and is still mixed. It never sniffed Very Positive.

 

[StereoVsn]

Surprising, but hey, good for the dev. Going to be interesting to see where this settles, but it should help sales some.

 

[cormack12]

Feels a bit like Control where good word of mouth will make it moderately successful. But I do think the second reveal hurt it.

Having said that it's actually fairly decent and much better than Outer Worlds which I'm playing at the same time

 

[TVexperto]

Where is the cheapest key I can buy right now

Key? Bro u can get it free

Starfield started out with around 88% positive, it was firmly in the "very positive" bracket.

Starfield Has 'Very Positive' Rating on Steam

While there has been some negativity surrounding Starfield, the game seems to be a big hit with gamers on Steam.

Edit: it was actually 89%, the thread here documented it all in real time.

 

[Roberts]

Why shouldn't it? Have no clue how it performs on PC, but as a game it is wonderfully addictive. Exploration and combat are some of the best in recent memory. Your companions have tons of character and are actually fun to talk to. Kai might be a rip-off of Garrus but you know what they say about stealing from the best.

 

[Hohenheim]

Very happy with the game so far! Been playing about 5 hours, and so far it's been brilliant.
A lot more beautiful than I thought too!

Then I stand corrected. I could have sworn it launched to mixed reviews following the early access.

It just fell fast that’s why you have the Mandela Effect.

 

[BlackTron]

I'm interested in how they achieved smooth gameplay with bad framerate. Do I need to ask PC gamer whether the drug is prescription or does anyone know?

Perfect frame passing at 33ms. Game is well optimized.

 

[Hudo]

So what you guys are saying is that Avowed is the Starfield of The Outer Worlds-likes?

 

[Topher]

Selective outrage is fun

 

[adamsapple]

Avowed launched to “Very Positive” reviews on Steam​

 

[Mr Moose]

 

[ArtHands]

Your point?

This the current reviews?

 

[Fake]

Mild positive.
