Jayden Hellyar writes, "Starfield is a game of highs and lows; for every enthralling and captivating moment, there is an opposing element lurking close by."

The game has proven itself, it's a good game, giving 7 won't change the result! you did it for attention

randomvoice597d ago

LMAO look at the insecurities. Sorry to burst your bubble bud but the game is nowhere near the hype it was sold. 85 on metacritics and still going down as more reviews trickle it. So much for all the GOTY talk.

Sunny12345597d ago

Proven to be what exactly ? Ign gave it a 7. It got 4,5s. The user meta is somewhere around 5. The critic meta is dropping. It's proven itself to be overhyped garbage.

4blender597d ago

There is labor in the middle, it has been worked on a lot, the duration of the game is quite long! A few critics gave less points to attract attention, but a boring turn-based game like Baldurs Gate definitely does not deserve that many points, there are many like it, little effort was spent.

Poker games are also turn-based.

"Nowhere near the hype"
"Garbage"

I'm having amazing fun in the game. About 20 hours in the last 4 days. Glad I can enjoy a game while you guys are so bitter, going out of your way to project such negativity on something you'll never attempt to play yourself just because it's not on PlayStation.

As if the FUD over both 30fps and the 10-minute-walking-barrier didn't already demonstrate this, y'all's clinging to 7/10 reviews to push your own narrative is really highlighting just how significantly low some gamers on this site will go, especially when its metacritic is exactly in line with other PS exclusives. And we all know how useless the user meta score is.

It's absolutely pathetic. Games aren't for fun, they're for angry vitriolic bickering!

spss11597d ago (Edited 597d ago )

The amount of hate Starfield gets on here is ridiculous. And I say that as someone who primarily games on Playstation.

I got Starfield on Steam and absolutely love it. I've always wanted a proper space RPG. Freelancer is great but has no land combat. Mass Effect is great but has no space combat. Elite Dangerous is online only. NMS is good but too cartoony and lacks depth.

Is Starfield perfect? No. It could use more varied backgrounds for the space environments. Nebulas or something. But I'm very satisfied with what we got.

anast597d ago

"It's absolutely pathetic." This is vitriolic.

MrNinosan597d ago

I bought a Series X at release just for this one game.
I like it, but it has many flaws and a 7/10 is about right (in my opinion). I still have a great time, but so I did with Saints Row, Crackdown and Forspoken, another 3 games I'd give scores in the range of 6-7.

MrNinosan597d ago

@spss11
Since when did you "primarily" played on Playstation.
In the 2,5 years you've been around here have you mainly mentioned your CyberPunk Xbox One and all the games you played on your One X or 2080Ti.

In fact, you only mentioned Playstation ones, and that was RDR2 deserving a 10/10 on PS4.

However, Statfield ain't getting more hate than praise.
Sony fanboys are downtalking it just like Xbox fanboys downtalk Final Fantasy XVI.

Xbox fanboys are praising Starfield like the GOTY (which it clearly ain't), while Sony fanboys is praising Final Fantasy or other games.

I loved FFXVI and I love Starfield as well, even thou the experience on my Series X ain't amazing.

But internet nowadays belong to all kind of trolls and fanboys. You just chose to see the negative side atm.

Crows90597d ago

No. Don't play dumb. If you're enjoying the game why you on here then?

Exactly. Everyone else can do the same without this bitterness nonsense.

spss11596d ago (Edited 596d ago )

@MrNinosan

Fair enough, I get why you think that looking at my comment history. I have a PS5, One X, and PC. I haven't commented much about Playstation because I don't have much to say. It's a great console with great exclusives. And it's easily the platform I play the most going back to PS2.

I probably comment more on Xbox because I view them as underdogs. And I hated how MS ruined my dashboard, in case you couldn't tell. I just have nothing to add regarding Playstation.

And yah, FFXVI was great. It's the reason I bought a PS5.

SixFrvgz596d ago

No need to pretend to enjoy the game to try and convince us.

Or are you trying to convince yourself... hmmm.

Proven to be a average. But your comment on baldurs gate just reeks if fanboyism.

The 2 games are completely unrelated except release period. Of course those with the mental capacity to play a turn based RPG can see quite clearly the averageness of starfield.

raWfodog596d ago

“The game has proven itself, it's a good game, giving 7 won't change the result”

7/10 is considered ‘good’ on the ranking scale. Don’t be concerned with a number and just enjoy the game.

2023 goty is Starfield (like Fallout 4),Totaly better than Zelda TOTK and Baldurs Gate 3

MrNinosan597d ago

I think FFXVI, BG3 and TotK will all get more awards than Starfield.
TotK will win because it's Nintendo and they have free pass regarding graphics, poor frame rate, bugs, accessibility. I liked TotK my first 10-15 hours, but after I realised it ain't much more than a dlc to BotW i got as bored as I did with BotW.

FFXVI and BG3 I believe will get the most Awards (4-5 each).

I don't see which award Starfield could win actually, maybe best new Franchise, but other than that, they don't beat the other games in anything really.

Crows90597d ago

Except 2 of those are actually critically acclaimed.

Soulsborne596d ago

RE4 REMAKE puts garfield to sleep, u wanna bring up thos years two CRITICALLY acclaimed titles BG3 and totk? Trending normie gamer detected.

Fallout 4 on Switch 2 seems inevitable, but what about Starfield?

A Fallout 4 Nintendo Switch 2 port seems like an inevitability, but what about other Bethesda RPGs like Starfield.

I think all games will end up on switch from Xbox. MS has embraced going to other platforms now if games aren't doing well on Nintendo MS may be more selective in the future

On playstation they have been quite successful

anast19d ago

I'm not sure too many people want to play Starfield.

Profchaos19d ago

Phils all but confirmed they are going in hard with the switch 2

TheColbertinator19d ago

All are welcome to Switch 2. Microsoft Games Studios is interested in long term profits and market value not petty fanboy thoughts.

i believe that 100%

but not cause its difficult to work the ps5, its cause the game itself is fundamentally broken asf

RaidenBlack28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Yea they need to fix it and I think they teased some major updates and patches this year. And as the norm we know even those won't be perfect and it'll take another year or two to reach a better state.
What Starfield also need is few more DLCs to fix the barrenness. .... and especially a substantial banger one with story and exploration to coincide with the PS5 launch and renew some interest.

dveio28d ago

"its cause the game itself is fundamentally broken asf"

Thanks.

I hate the rambling around pretty obvious things.

Such as, like you said, Starfield is just a big pile of broken code.

The latest news about Starfield's developmental environment just proved it.

badz14928d ago

If they release a PS5 version and it's still a loading screen simulator, they will just embarrass themselves.

Abear2128d ago

Corporate greed is the sole reason it’s coming to PS5. Expect the same game. This is M$ and Bethesda trying to recoup losses and capitalize on huge PS5 player base in an attempt to fund their next lame project.

neutralgamer199228d ago

Hopefully there is a huge major patch that gives the game a fresh chance

rudero28d ago

I believe it 100% because it was already being developed for PlayStation before they were acquired.

Not a rumor or a magical Microsoft push…
It was already in development.

-Foxtrot28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

They are going to have to do something to make you want the PS5 version

They can't escape all the negative coverage it's received since launch so they will need something to draw people in and honestly I can't think of anything.

It will sell, it just won't sell as well as they would have hoped for a Bethesda open world game now that they are launching late when opinions have already been made.

Hope it does pretty good, big fan of Bethesda.
But not gonna lie this game was fucking ass.

Probably my least favorite Bethesda style rpg ever.
Regretted paying to play it early.

moomoo31928d ago

It was so disappointing.. its not horrible but its a solid 7/10

UnbreakableAlex28d ago

Have fun with this ginormous bore fest!

Report: Starfield on PS5 Seems to Be Loaded in Backend According to Mods

The official PlayStation logo has been spotted in one of Starfield's mods on Bethesda's own creations site.

B5R44d ago

Just announce it already.

lukasmain43d ago

They should try to remove the stupid overabundance of ridiculous loading screens for the PS5 version. But I assume it's not possible because of their crap engine and/or their laziness to do anything about it. But it is possible in some instances as some modders have done so a few times for PC from what I have seen.

It will be super jarring and weird for PS5 players to see so many loading screens, I worry it will destroy any potential immersion. I don't think I could handle it honestly lol. Combining that with the uninspired gameplay, I expect it would tank my motivation to play and finish the game.

Profchaos43d ago

Yeah I feel like it was also the creation engine it was core to why I gave up on the game the forced tutorials I was still getting 4 hours in just annoyed me it did t help I had just played through tears of the kingdom st the time which had zero tutorials and being forced to stop for a guided tutorial every 20 minutes killed me I have up at 6 hours despite being a huge fallout fan

Armaggedon43d ago

If one doesnt like the screens, just dint olay the game. Just like if one doesnt not like being handcuffed, dont play a fromsoft souls game. They are integral to the games design.

BISHOP-BRASIL43d ago

Are you seriously trying to push loading screens as a voluntary design choice rather than a technical limitation in 2025? Good luck with that...

Armaggedon43d ago

I dont know… is me having input delay when I try to roll in elden ring a technical limitation?

Bathyj43d ago

Meh.
I just started Death stranding. I don't have time for that.

LoveSpuds43d ago

I am trying to wrap up my Elden Ring playthrough so I can get a replay of Death Stranding in ahead of the sequel. That new video last week has be really excited, I loved the first game, one of my fave platinum trophies.

Bathyj43d ago

This is my first playthrough.
I didn't really get it when it released.
But after that trailer I decided to give it another look.

After 5 hours, I've built my first bridge. While ïts to early to be 100% sure I think I'm hooked. I'll see how I go. It feels like a game that hard to sell to someone but if you know you know

There's just so much Kojima in the game.

LoveSpuds42d ago

Just wait until later in the game when you start building a network of zip lines. Journeys that used to take 20 mins are done on a couple of minutes, it feels so satisfying 😀

Hope it continues to resonate with you dude, enjoy!

Profchaos43d ago

If what never a matter of if but when

MaximusPrime_43d ago

I have zero interest in this game but there are people who like it. People have their personal preference.
