finally a 10/10 for Starfield

VenomUK256d ago

There’s no 10/10 from IGN usa. But it’s still a 10/10 from IGN Japan et al. In this way, if there is a reporter that decides to go rogue, like has happened here, and given their opinion there will still be multiple other IGN websites that will have got the memo and can cancel out the score and maintain the long term sponsorship with its leading partner that is also a leading partner of the Verge..

Terry_B257d ago (Edited 257d ago )

Someone (Raidenblack) submitted 5 different IGN Review scores all around 9 for Starfield today. Like IGN Spain, Brazil, Japan..France...I don't remember a similar situation.

All IGNs except USA gave Starfield 8 or above

outsider1624256d ago

Never seen like this before. Has there been any games where reviews from IGN (different contries) are submitted here. It's always been the main parent IGN.

LordoftheCritics257d ago

Finally an IGN review that discusses the details.

neutralgamer1992257d ago

Not surprising how some reviews are so split in their opinion but if we look at all the reviews the lesson of the story is this game is very good

Which is very good for us gamers to enjoy. I hope some of the complaints and bugs are fixed before the launch in their day one patch

shinoff2183257d ago

Agreed. I do have concerns about the planets limits, for an open world rpg that kinda sounds like it blows but it's not a deterrent to me

outsider1624256d ago

For me i don't mind the planet limits. It's what they add in the planets im interested. Heck, take 500 planets rather if there's more details filled in.

Profchaos257d ago

Exactly why so many outlets don't issue a score it can be and often is received incorrectly

Expectations for Starfield were sky-high, and while many felt it fell short of them, raw sales and other statistics tell a different tale.

The stats can say anything, because they don't release the stuff that counts.

Scissorman6d ago

Agreed. I'd love to know the budget on this one to be honest. What was it? 6-8 years in development?

anast6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Howard said this game had been a concept for 25 years. Let that sink in.

TwoPicklesGood6d ago

I play it on Steam and it’s phenomenal.

Flewid6386d ago

I have it on GamePass PC and I have yet to encounter a single wow moment.

Vits6d ago

The ship building is kinda cool... And that's about it. In all seriousness, I don't think it's a bad game, but violently mediocre with some really head-scratching choices that made me go "why" rather than "wow" more often than not.

DustMan6d ago

Same here. Not saying it's the best they've ever released, but the hate it gets is pretty absurd. I've been completely enjoying the 50 or so hours I've dropped into it.

Flewid6385d ago

To be fair, I have yet to play a single Bethesda game that I found enjoyable. The whole "talking to cardboard cutouts from the uncanny valley" thing is tolerable in games like Mass Effect, but it loses me completely in Bethesda titles.

Flewid6386d ago

Hunger is the best spice. lol.

Knightofelemia6d ago

I'll never forget advertised as an open world sandbox game but you run into invisible Star Trek barriers when exploring. GTA has never done that and neither has No Man's Sky. If people love this game good for them I am not touching it. And if Microsoft does say port this game to Playstation I am still not touching this game.

DustMan6d ago

I started playing a few weeks ago and am enjoying it thoroughly. Perfect, absolutely not. Yet it's nowhere near as bad as what people make it out to be. Plenty of quests to get side tracked with. The gunplay has been tightened up significantly in my opinion since Fallout 4. I originally listened to the online crowd absolutely crap on the game and made me curious to see if it was that bad. It's not. It's a good and fun game. It just didn't live up to the developer hype and peoples expectations. Which wouldn't be the first time Bethesda, or Microsoft promised the world, and gave us the moon.

I will say that the beginning few story missions really kind of drag, but once you unlock powers it picks up. I think that first few hours soured a lot of folks who left it behind before really digging in to it. Which is understandable.

jwillj2k46d ago

First few hours??? How about the first 130 hours according to the developers. Need to get past 130hrs to start enjoying the game.

That's when the Stockholm syndrome kicks in
