This is going to be one of those review threads where the game is considered overhyped shit if it doesn't get 90+, isn't it?

How'd you know this was going to happen?

 

[Tomi]

As i was saying 85-90, not a chance over 90

 

[FoxMcChief]

BG3 clears. There can be only one

Will have a good time with this though.

I’m curious how the console versions will review. Kind of telling we haven’t seen anything from them.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Lmao

I pray this is a joke post.

 

[twilo99]

One of the biggest TES Lore channels put out their review. They’ve put over 300h in Starfield and still can’t give a final verdict. For now they say it’s amazing and one of the Bethesda’s greats.

300hrs... already?

 

[killatopak]

Lmao

Flipped his shit on his mother over reviews? It's just a game bro.

 

[Gudji]

Lmao

 

[Bigfroth]

I just watched DF's breakdown on the consoles I'm relieved lol Series S is a surprise. I'm going in deep tonight on the S can't wait.

 

[GetInTheRobot]

Showing 91 for me still, even after refreshes.

I’m not seeing a meta critic for pc… still says tbd

But reviews are completely subjective. Once upon a time in hollywood got great reviews, its one of the biggest pieces of shit movies i have ever seen. Its all up to the individual. People really need to understand that.

yeah i know, but fan base isnt subjective, some % of Xbox fans was expecting this to review way better after Redfalls fiasco, 86 is far from a bad game and i ll play this game on sep 6, but after all the hype that Starfield Direct brought i dont no if 86 ll cut it for some ppl.

 

[Roni]

PC gamer review CP2077 on launch was 78. I dont belive Starfield is worst than launched Cyberpunked.

PC gamer is the clue here.

 

[The Last One]

Lmao

A regular day over Resetera then.

 

[Montauk]

I pray this is a joke post.

It probably is, eh? Still; pretty funny.

 

[Sanepar]

Lmao

These purple hair teens from era lol

 

[JokerMM]

Lmao

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Lmao

I hope for the sake of the future of mankind this is a joke. I also wouldn't be surprised if it's an average resetera user.

 

[Zheph]

Lmao

no way this is real??

 

[Thirty7ven]

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.

At most they should’ve went with a star system like ours and that’s it.

Anybody surprised the game is filled with a bunch of nothing was drinking the kool aid.

 

[Larivel]

87

Im proud of myself, but honestly after reading some reviews I think it will settle at 84-85

 

[Trippy]

This is a criticism by IGN, and it’s purely POV, but this is exactly what I want from a game focusing on exploration. I don’t want to follow map markers and way points on a map screen. Following in game signs and directions from speaking to NPCs is exactly how I want to go about finding areas of interest. That’s what I consider immersive.

 

[azertydu91]

Lmao

If this was posted here I'd take it as a sarcastic without hesitation but on ree, I don't know.

 

[Forsythia]

lol at the meltdowns. I honestly don't get why people get so worked up about this. Does it really affect your enjoyment of the game?

I have no evidence but I’m gonna say that they were paid off.

Is that how it works? I just make a claim and that’s it? It’s so easy.

 

[RoboFu]

I cannot tell who is joking and who is being serious anymore in this thread. lol It's hard to keep up and work.

 

[amigastar]

87 is not a bad score but i expected better. I want games to be as good as possible so i feel a little bit sorry for Todd and the Bethesda Team.

 

[Banjo64]

Flipped his shit on his mother over reviews? It's just a game bro.

It’s an old copypasta.

 

[Fabieter]

Still great reviews but I eat crow for thinking it will get an automatically 95.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

no way this is real??

It's an old meme.

 

[BennyBlanco]

this was MS's only chance to get a firsty party game to get a 90+ this gen imo

Forza Horizon 5

Your Ultimate Horizon Adventure awaits! Explore the vibrant and ever-evolving open world landscapes of Mexico with limitless, fun driving action in hundreds of the world’s greatest cars.

[iorek21]

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.

Funny thing is that Ubisoft is promising a very authentic and hand-crafted collection of planets for Star Wars Outlaws.

 

[JackMcGunns]

I'm still in shock
Tbh seeing all the leaks and comments made it look good
I will still play it and make my own opinion on monday
Do we know wich sites didn't review yet?

Meta score of 90 right now. Am I missing something?

 

[Spitfire098]

BG3 is the best RPG of the year confirmed?!?

 

[proandrad]

IGN finally doesn’t overrate a first party title and people lose their mind.

 

[Topher]

How'd you know this was going to happen?

When I'm getting "copium" responses before the first review is even out......yeah, that's when I knew.

 

[mortal]

Hype is a double-edged blade.

The average is a great score, but the way some people react to you'd think it averaged in the 70s or something.
A game can score very well, better than most even, and some people will still be disappointed.
Why even bother caring about the review score at that point if you're treating an average in the 80s or a 90 like a failure?

 

[xHunter]

Lmao

Poor guy, probably got banned by Judge already for posting a copypasta.

 

[Masterri]

 

[Banjo64]

BG3 is the best RPG of the year confirmed?!?

Probably will be the highest ranking RPG of the next 10 years to be honest.

 

[Montauk]

Todd was just seen leaving the US on a plane with lots of heavy cases (reportedly cash).

It’s over.

Focused experiences really aren't the bread and butter of BGS though.

"Starting gun"

 

[Draugoth]

Some reviews are saying that the game's exploration is a waste of time and there's barely anything outside of main planets

 

[Sleepwalker]

Luke Stephens " It's probably best to ignore the main story quest and focus on the side quests"

Oh ffs.

 

[killatopak]

Probably will be the highest ranking RPG of the next 10 years to be honest.

It'll suck to not have BG4 in the next ten years.

I think you underestimate how emotionally charged everything around this game really is because it is not on PlayStation...

-


87 OC, 89 MC.

Early access unlocking in a few hours.

Console versions, even Series S, are very competent.

Shit that's all you had to say, fam.

[DragoonKain]

Baldino:

Game takes a while to get going.
Has bugs as to be expected.
Main quest where he enjoyed the game most.
Gun play feels good.
Ship building works great, loved spending time with it.
Exploration wasn't as good as hoped. Very menu-y, loading screens, feels like there's too many barriers and doesn't feel seamless.
Many planets were bland and boring. Most planet dungeons didn't feel worth exploring.

 

[mxbison]

no way this is real??

It's some old Twitch copy pasta I think. Definitely seen the chicken nuggets thing before.

 

[GHG]

"a bigger version of the outer worlds".

"Starfield is not about exploring space freely as a space pirate or a mercenary, it's about fast travelling to locations and having conversations with people"

Here's where I'm at with this - that's the kind of information they needed to tell us before we got to this stage. It's now clear this isn't a game focused on the exploration side of space, but why was so much of the pre-release marketing focused on that side of things? You're fast travelling from location to location, loading screen to loading screen, it's not seemless in any way and they knew this.

A better version of the outer worlds sounds more than good enough to me. So why not just be honest?
