as expected a huge flop (yes its a flop)
you FORCE-buy a company and then make the games they do exclusive to a small niche userbase (%15 or so). YOU HAVE TO make a banger that pushes upwards of 94 and strong goty contention
if you can't do that, YOU JUST robbed all playstation gamers out of a decent game. that's it.
that is why it is a flop. pretty sad news.

Did anyone really think this would outscore bg3?

Technically, 7.3 or so is "average" as in 50% of games get higher and 50% of games get lower (this according to OpenCritic's accounting of all game scores). So "technically" a 7.0 is below average. I believe IGN considers a "7" to potentially encompass the entire range of "7.0-7.9" but critic aggregators don't consider that.
The whole point of having lots of reviews is that you can get a wide picture of different opinions on the game.
You need to take as many reviews as you motivated to read/watch and synthesise that information with your own opinions about other games, cross-referenced against what individual reviewers or outlets have said about games you’ve liked or disliked in the past.
Then you’ve basically got a rough chance of estimating if you might like the game or not lol, based on synthesising that information.
It makes no sense to get angry about a range of scores. That’s the strength of having access to so many reviews; more data, more variety.
This whole reaction is so stupid, every time it happens. You haven’t played the damn game and you’re questioning the review of somebody who has?
You’re angrily questioning why somebody liked it slightly less than somebody else? People are different! It’s time to grow up!
You’re a person and you might feel differently to reviewer X.
Surely this all stuff you learn as a young teenager? That people disagree? I just don’t get it.

Honestly would not recommend if the Series X is going to be in the room, the disc drive is LOUD when playing 4k discs - too loud for me at least. Possible that I have a bad one though, I guess.

86-88 Opercritic/Metacritic is probably the best possible outcome for both Sony fans and Microsoft fans.... Who plays on Pc/Xbox gets to play a good game, not life changing (like TES or Fallout) but a good game. Who only plays on Playstation have enought material to troll the Ms fan base... It's a win win.

This game is nowhere near being a 10. People who gave it a 10 have decided to turn a blind eye to a bunch of shit.
Also sus as fuck that after so much shit about how open world games should be, Starfield being basically a menu based type of exploration somehow gets away at some of these places?

7 billion dollars, 7/10, it makes sense when you think about it.

The score will settle at low 80s. That's fine.
But this is part of what I expected after Fallout 4. That same studio doesn't have the magic anymore. They just don't have the same oomph they did back during the Fallout 3 days. People get older and lose motivation. This game probably has that and the fact that they spread themselves too thin. They should have focused on 1 solar system with a good variety instead of all these bullshit barren worlds that are restrictive with invisible walls.
VR will make this game absolutely incredible though. I'm gonna wait 6 months for some good inventory mods, bug fixes, and Vorphx, and go have a blast. I don't need motion controls but I want to see the actual scale of these planets in VR. If you haven't experienced that in Elite Dangerous you're and you love scifi, you're missing out. It does suck this game doesn't proper landing either.

This pretty much describes my entire fear of the game every since announced. I will never understand peoples obssesion like Ubisoft games with MORE BIGGER OPEN WORLD/MORE PLANETS. Fucking stupid. I'd rather explore 1 amazingly detailed planet than 1000 shallow ones.

Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
IGN review just cemented all of my fears. They call the world "barren and lifeless". Said the main missions are way too repetitive. Theres no map, so you will have to rely on memorization, and planet exploration is not seamless like it is in NMS.
The biggest nail in the coffin for me: "All there is to do on these planets is scan trees and rocks" - direct quote.

Those are the people who will be disappointed, these are great scores regardless so far. I’m still waiting for Skill Up’s review.
I personally predicted 85-90.

It has frame drops down to 15fps and pauses as it loads environments in, in open areas

Damn, too much hype had been put on this game, goty, game of the generation, the savior of the Xbox brand, etc... for years and it is far from 90 (the score will continue to drop as I go through the reviews of banned media).

OC at 87 right now.

yep. DS ended up winning MORE goty awards despite landing at around an 83 metacritic beating out both sekiro and RE2 which were around 92-93 IIRC. And it wasnt just critics either, fan awards were mostly for Death Stranding which is hilarious because critics docked points specifically because it was not a game for everyone.
- Death Stranding - 118
- Media Outlets: 77 | Readers' Choice: 41
- Resident Evil 2 - 94
- Media Outlets: 64 | Readers' Choice: 30
- Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - 85
- Media Outlets: 71 | Readers' Choice: 14
Of course, the game isnt out yet so starfield might piss off gamers just like cyberpunk did in 2020.

Same, we could've got 20 or so good planets for a more focused experience, instead we probably got like
200 rock planets
200 gas planets
300 planets with random outposts or animals
300 fire/water/ice/inhabitable planets
Most of the planets seem to be for mining or resource gathering with a few dungeons spread out in some.

Him and skillup are the best imo. It’s about who you align with most.

The problem is that Steam users will just be so far to either end of the scale.
They even have Hello Neighbor as "very positive"... I mean come on lol.
And on the other hand, they will bomb some games because of a feature or something they don't like. I've seen a lot of games get reviews within moments of it being released, with one word and trying to be "funny".

lmao damn those bugs. He's also talking about a bunch of copy-paste locations. Other reviewers aren't mentioning this.

Imagine what kind of game library people have when they let IGN dictate their purchases.
