The Starfield Metacritic user score has seen a sharp drop as it seems some gamers have decided to review-bomb the Bethesda RPG.
TNS: "We're shining a light on a bunch of "bad" games that may've been left wanting when it comes to their critical or audience reception."
Good list I've had similar reactions to some games even ones on the list like the order and Callisto
Also I recently grabbed forspoken for, 5 dollars at a eb games Clarence sale and I am actually enjoying it more than I thought I would
Sometimes you just need to give critically panned games a chance
I feel like we’re finally starting to see a sea change in how we treat our favorite games. Sure, we all acknowledge that a game can suck and we can still enjoy it. Hopefully this results in meaningful review scores. Personally, I find a lot of bad games are better if you blast through them on the easiest difficulty. Callisto protocol on the image is a good example of this.
Actually, I started liking FO76 after the wastelanders DLC ... it has been my guilty pleasure
other games I can think of Order 1886, Driveclub, Resident Evil 6 (only the Leon part), Alpha Protocol (pretty unique, needs a remake), XIII Remake (after patches), Medal of Honor 2010, Medal of Honor Warfighter, Homefront The Revolution, Enemy Front, Legendary The Box, Faces of War, Conflict: Vietnam, Conflict: Global Storm & Codename: Panzers – Cold War
I loved The Order, ridiculous graphics for it's time and a very interesting setting, it was linear but not as bad as people say. Similar thing with Callisto Protocol, i admit that i played it a long time after release so maybe issues were fixed by then, but it was a fantastic Dead Space-like horror game with some of the best graphics i've seen in my life.
Thanks to the Starfield Creation Kit, the "Earth Restored" mod has transformed the Earth into a Pine Forest and filled the sea with life.
Shadow of the Erdtree saw a 1000% player count surge at its launch. Will Starfield’s Shattered Space be able to do the same?
I played Starfield this past weekend. I enjoyed it and overall was about 30 hours in, but as soon as I got the e-mail about the GamePass price increase, I cancelled my account and deleted Starfield, Halo, Forza and others off my Series X.
If I want to play those games, I’ll just buy them outright - and truth is, I’m pretty sure I won’t. They aren’t worth it to me.
Why is giving a 1 review bombing, but giving a 10 is normal?
Starfield is not a 10 and not a 1, everyone knows that.
In the end, the score will end up exactly as it should be and as the game deserves.
And, quite frankly... a 6.5 on average is what I would give it as well. (Perhaps a 7.)
Space Exploration minus the real exploration.
Fast Travel / Loading screen simulator.
In 2 months, this game will have died out just like fallout 76 did and will only have a small portion gamers left.
Nah some just got burned out of being repeatedly lied to by BGS and their paid media.
It's Not review bombing or else I'd already saw Mr.Yong Yea jump at the headline and make a video out of it but ever since he's got big and deeper into part of the industry he gotten much more selective on who to bash he usually quick on something like this but no longer as impartial as he'd liked to.
It can't be 9 or 10/10 game with this many issues of course die hard fans would defend it as an early access game but it helps that BGS should at least got the basics down which Starfield didn't especially at full price.
Giving early access title this high of a score only makes people assume that it can't get any better or it's too good to be true.
Read the reviews and the critisms seem legit overall.
