WG: "Starfield has been raking in massive scores from some big outlets, and other scores that aren’t as flattering. So how good is Starfield really? We can only give our own personal view after spending a whole bunch of time with it"
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.
Was Baldur's Gate 3 worth all those 10's as well? See what I did there clickbait.
Hardly any game is a good as it’s Metacritic score. We know that overall review scores are so inflated that a 6/10 is considered unplayable. Way too many “reviewers” won’t score anything less than a 7. I think it would be more beneficial for gamers to have a ranking system. For example, how does Starfield rank against Mass Effect 2, Fallout 4, or Cyberpunk 2077? It’s easy to throw out a high score and make people happy. It’s harder think critically.
Easy. No
Still a fantastic game that needed a little more time in the oven.
Says "Starfield is nowhere near a perfect game" Proceeds to give it a 9/10. Can't make this shit up....
Game is a Fallout space skin.
Paid and early access reviewers gave 10.
