Starfield's first expansion is an excellent dive into one of the game's key pieces of lore. There are answers to be had and mysteries to be born anew. It is all wrapped up in one of the best looks I've seen in a video game to date. For any fan of the base game, this is a solid 10+ hour adventure you do not want to miss.

Xbox era--90/100

"...on Series X ... it runs like a dream. I primarily played in the 40fps mode on my 120hz display and it was the best mix of smooth aiming and excellent lighting that the console could offer"

I can't trust someone whose dreams are 40 fps, even if their name includes Xbox.

Critic reviews rarely match user reviews now, i take no notice of them anymore lol, the actual gamer reviews are the ones that count.

Agreed, but also no. User reviews can also give low scores or negative reviews for petty reasons.

It's highly unlikely over 50% of people who review a game having purchased it on Steam are likely to leave negative reviews for "petty" reasons.
 
Xbox Era? Sure, because we don't have any reason to believe that they won't be biased... Not even one...

I haven't played it but I imagine it goes a bit like this. It's a £26/$30 DLC featuring one new planet and a new storyline. Some new bits and pieces, but ultimately all within the same game that came out last year. If you like Starfield and want more, you're probably going to like it. If you didn't like Starfield then this almost definitely won't change your mind and it's not exactly cheap to find out if it would change your mind.

What was the point of this thread exactly?

Yeah they can,true, but do you trust critic reviews now, who clearly have various agenda's instead of just the quality of the game itself.
 
"It's time to start believing game journalists"

This will be the perfect test case. Looking forward for gamer impressions.

Perhaps not 50%, but it can be a significant percentage. You can't just blindly trust them, just like you cannot blindly trust critics. What I usually do is go and read individual reviews and try to capture the general sentiment, both among critics and players.

Haven't trusted most critics in a while. I usually either go to Youtube and watch more neutral critics or if I use mainstream sites, I read the reviews. A lot of the time, the actual reviews doesn't even match the final score.

Yep, I agree, especially on the not taking the overall user score at face value and reading the specific issues people have with the game.

In the case of this game, I didn't see anything I'd define as "petty" when I last glanced at the reviews.

Oh, I wasn't talking about this game in particular, just in general. In this case, I believe the users. If it sits at 50%, there likely is a major issue with the game. Last I checked, there is no controversy like forced sign-in, scummy DLC tactics, or anything of the sort. There must be a very good reason for the score on Steam to be this low.

The issue is, its more Starfield.

As if that can be issue by itself.

There is nothing specific to harp on this time like Loading screens, procedural generation etc.

So they are saying its more of a Starfield, Bethesda is bad, Skyrim was bad etc etc.

Total clown show.

From what little I read, the issue is that it's extremely short and thin in new content. You're paying what, $30? For what is essentially a short story expansion.
