Starfield is a shallow ocean, hiding its lack of creative ambition behind the physical size of a universe that’s minuscule where it counts.
Starfield's recent player spike is a good sign, but Bethesda desperately need to line up their Cyberpunk 2077 moment.
I feel like the second big update that releases late this year will do just that. Part of the story expansion is also new means of transportation on planets.
What player spike?
I checked steamcharts through the link in the article and it went from 8,000 to 11.500, so yea 20% but when the game peaked at 330,000 It's safe to say that the actual effect of this update was negligible.
Doubt it'll ever get redemption. As many developers have said in various interviews it's beyond saving.
Just release the mod tools and expansion and move on.
Cyberpunk 2077 had some strong bones i disliked it on launch because I could see the potential I could see the strengths of what they wanted to achieve but it wasn't done yet
Starfield fans are asking Bethesda to introduce mech piloting to the game after it teaser "major features" on the horizon.
They didn't get the memo the game is dead and the Bethesdabots only want magic and fantasy.
Starfield fans? The game only has 9 thousand current players, worldwide! As a company you cannot waste time on creating "Major features", it is simply not profitable. Just move on.
The YouTuber DeityVengy has transformed Starfield into an open-world Star Wars RPG, or The Mandalorian, with over a hundred mods.
I’ve been watching lots of gameplay footage and it’s literally a loading simulator. You fly to space “loading screen” you land on a planet “loading screen” you exit your ship “loading screen” you open a door “loading screen” It will honestly put you to sleep watching people streaming the game. And don’t get me started on the dead eyed NPCs that literally stare into your soul.
The later, negative reviews reminds of the recent articles involving Rotten Tomatoes. Studios would have early screenings for friendly critics, some of whom were paid by the studios’ PR teams, to pump up the early Tomatometer rating. Then when the larger audience of critics could see the movie, the score would drop. But the studios got their great Tomatometer rating for the first weekend. Anyway, don’t be surprised by the less than enthusiastic response from later reviews.
Jin must have wrote this lol….crazy review
Luckily there is now a PC mod that lets you put in a PlayStation boot sequence in the game.
Oh wow! This review just made the XSX version Metascore take a dive! Down to 85 now.
The meta dropped to 85 for critics and is a stable 6.1 for users. The game isn't good. To think Todd has been planning this game for 25 years...
