Modern review scoring is confusing. I don't think scoring 50 is even average.

Is ACG good review outlet? I've never heard of them before

Is 87 really mid 80? I’d consider that high 80 but we’re probably splitting hairs. You’re definitely framing it like that deliberately though.

Ragnarok had the same problem, imo, but the scores didn't reflect it. I did almost quit that game cuz it was boring the hell out of me. Glad I stuck with it, and I will with this one too but I really hate having to slog through 12 hours before it picks up...

I think Morrowind is still their best game ever, personally.....it's been slowly declining since. But they still make great games, I think the Fallout series in particular needs a jolt (4 and 76 were generally meh or bad), it's been declining more than the other IP's
More baseless conspiracy theories. No evidence cited.
Why have been fanboys never been able to understand that reviewers are human beings and human beings disagree?

The scores are great. But the game was overhyped. At least based on critical reception. There was an expectation among many, and it was fairly clear, that this game would review at least as well as Skyrim did. It's plain to see that it won't. In a year that has seen Tears of the Kingdom and Baldur's Gate 3, along with a number of other high-scoring games, Starfield landing in the score range that it appears to be is jarring when compared to the hype that was being built around it. Doesn't mean the game is a failure in general. It's just the critical reception not matching.

Out of majority of people here. You are the most sensible one because you make a lot of sense about IGN/Gamespot. People really have no clue how the media works. At the end of the day it's all. About traffic = money. You will always have a well known website or 2 that will purposely go the opposite direction and against the grain to cause a big wave of clicks to please their investors/shareholders.
Anyone who thinks Any of the big named websites actually give a shit aboit your money and where to spend them is a fool. If you want something genuine you go to YouTube channels that are legit, or indie websites without the big executive suit breathing down your neck.

People were shitting on that Davy guy but in the end he was absolutely right in most of the stuff he said.

These are the scores IGN gave these Bethesda RPGs:
Oblivion - 9.3
Skyrim - 9.5
Fallout 4 - 9.5
Stop with the fanboy nonsense, just because a game you like doesn't get a high score does not mean there is some agenda, grow-up

Look at some of his older reviews. At least for me, he's almost always spot on with my thoughts and tastes.

I "killing blow" is a bit much, but surely this doesn't look good for X-box.
ACG does the best most comprehensive reviews and doesn't take sponsors or money for his reviews.

Yeah he’s fine. He posts here too.

ACG is great. Of course taste is still subjective so It's proper to see his scores on games you enjoy and games you don't to get an idea. That should be a given if you're listening to specific reviewers.

Because it's an Xbox exclusive title and no more.

I mean, getting above 90 would mean more 10s than 8s so even one or two 7s can easily send them it into <90

I think brand warriors hyping it as the second coming of Jesus for RPGs has something to do with trolling clapback.High 80's it's looking like? Pretty good. Not bad at all. You would think this is getting gollum scores from some of the reactions
Especially all those who laughed at people saying it would not come close to BG3 (aggregate wise).

I dunno man, I can understand some of the problems given the scope of the game, but all that jank, shitty AI, bland progression, mediocre visuals at times don't make this an instant classic. I can understand the 7.
Will still try it out on Gamepass to see if it clicks.
EDIT: And what the fuck is about the amount of loading screens??

In what world does a 91 on metacritic NOT look good?

I think it's possible IGN and Gamespot are baby casuals fishing for clicks and traffic while also thinking that reddit post to be cope.

I think now everyone understands the meme "too much water 7/10 IGN", now its "too much planets 7/10 IGN"

This narrative that a western space RPG has to outscore a JRPG is a new one for me.

First the review meltdowns.
Then the spins.
Then the thunderous raging.
Then the inevitable (hilarious) glitches.
Then 10 plus years of memes.
Yep, this game is going to be comedy gold for a loooong time
I can't wait to play the shit out of it

This is the dumbest thing of all IMO. When the fanboys try to explain why only some reviews should really count and the others should be disqualified.
The best is when they meticulously pore through the lowest reviews looking for some line they can take out of context and say “I stopped reading right there” or something. Lol

'Starfield' Is Great, But It's Not Destined To Save Xbox
Bethesda's latest open-world adventure falls victim to its own hype.www.rollingstone.com
Sounds very mediocre judging by that review. There is no score for this one.
Not surprised at the line “Bethesda's latest open-world adventure falls victim to its own hype”
As soon as MS bought Bethesda fanboys decided Starfield was the second coming of Jesus Christ.

It's just fanboy warring at this point, Anything less than an 8 is treating like high school grading, 70 basically meaning a C-. Which is a dumb interpretation.

A few of the space game people I follow and some other reviewers say the space combat is very Arcady and more akin to something like star fox than like Elite Dangerous or wing commander. Another said there is so much fast travel that the ship feels a bit like extra fluff. People who are waiting on a new freelancer are going to be disappointed. Better pray SC actually finishes one day.
