The Starfield Metacritic user score has seen a sharp drop as it seems some gamers have decided to review-bomb the Bethesda RPG.
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.
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.
