Any site that ranks Starfield above Baldurs Gate 3 is talking out of its arse.

Barlos134d ago

Yeah but this is the site that thinks RE Village is one of the greatest FPS's ever made, so you can't really trust their word.

Armaggedon134d ago

Why? Its their list. There are alot of people that can see the value in Starfield, myself included.

Barlos134d ago

It is their list, yes but GB seem to go out of their way to be different. Seriously, check out their 30 greatest FPS's of all time. It's a complete joke.

Armaggedon134d ago

I cant speak for them, but I know like some games that others dont like . Starfield, Immortals of Aveum, hell even forspoken was cool in my book.

recoctimocassirnff134d ago

You can see value in Starfield until the cows come home, but objectively speaking, bg3 is vastly superior to starfield.

...and "journalists" are suppose to be objective.

Armaggedon133d ago (Edited 133d ago )

Lol. You can only claim objectivity if you set certain parameters. Its not so easy to say one is better than the other, because they have their own strengths and issues. I have played both and sense just as much energy in Starfield as whats in BG3, perhaps even more.

Barlos134d ago (Edited 134d ago )

GamingBolt is a parody I'm sure. When you put out a list of the all time greatest FPS's and RE Village makes the cut but Doom doesn't, you know you can't take them seriously.

ThePacemaker134d ago (Edited 134d ago )

This list is a an utter joke.

Starfield >>> BG3 & Tears of the kingdom?

Seriously?

Gamingbolt = Gamingbuffoon

Armaggedon134d ago

I can see people being annoyed by Baldurs Gate, but Tears of the kingdom is ass sweat.😂

Armaggedon134d ago

Cool list. It is admirable to see someone list their selections honestly without bending the knee.

‘Stellar Blade, but good’ is here, and it came out seven months ago

Stellar Blade might be the hot game right now, but we already got a better version of it more than half a year ago.

Stellar blade is currently higher than lies of p on metacritic with 40 more reviews. No shade on Lies of P but just pointing that out.

But i don't even know why compare them? Because both are souls type games?

Then you can just reuse this article all the time and say Elden Ring is "whatever new souls game" but good for every new souls game.

Stellar blade hate articles must be rolling with clicks...

Tacoboto5d ago

Everyone in here now is clicking and commenting on this post.

Whoever the "community" is that approved it (Doubt it), contributors should report this article and any other from this low-quality click-bait website for being exactly what it is.

Remember that the reviewer loved the combat too. But because of the character and physics he wrote it off immediately.

Levii_925d ago

Not that it even matters but both of those games are way better than their metacritic scores.

SubtilizZer5d ago

@VersusDMC “Stellar blade is currently higher than lies of p on metacritic with 40 more reviews“
This is actually misleading as Stellar Blade has only been reviewed on one platform. Both technically sit at 82… and Lies of P has about 30 more reviews right now.

VersusDMC5d ago

You are correct. Especially if you look at open critic. Just wanted to point out that Lies of P is not higher rated critically overall for the first paragraph and did some slight exaggeration not accounting for PC and Xbox reviews.

TwoPicklesGood5d ago

To be fair, Stellar Blade had a lot of hype and isn’t an indie game like Lies of P. So Lies 80% vs Stellars 82% only proves good good Lies was. That said, you all need to stop getting so upset over review scores. If you want the hame you’re going to get it, if you don’t you won’t and those supposedly claiming they are “on the fence” will wait for a sale regardless.

Crows905d ago

Not really. I view all games with the same eyes. Don't care if indie or not...a game is a game.

Aussiesummer5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

the only things that are pointing out are the nipples in stellar blade.

I mean… it’s like saying we have a better NieR with Devil May Cry. Yea, there’s some similarities, but Lies is really hardcore in the sense of emulating a FromSoft game almost perfectly, where Stellar has some Souls-like elements, but I’d say it’s closer to Sekiro than say a Dark Souls game. This almost feels click-baitey

Psychonaut855d ago

What if, and hear me out, they’re both really good? Mind blowing, I know.

Christopher5d ago

Listen here you, that's not how this is supposed to work. You choose a side and you defend it. None of this little "what if there's more than one good game out there" nonsense.

Fishy Fingers5d ago

Bro that behaviour is whats paying N4G's bills.

Christopher5d ago

It helps. But, as an individual, I still have my own opinion. I do wish conflict didn't sell as well as it does.

jambola5d ago

No wonder n4g is the cesspool that it is
Uses to be good but you'd rather clickbait low quality crap
Straight from the horses mouth, you really don't give a shit

Christopher5d ago

I said the opposite, jambola. But I don't think you're really reading what I say, only what you want me to say.

jambola5d ago

"I do wish conflict didn't sell as well as it does."
you put this story here

Stop it. There's only room for one good game at a time and you know it. Any more than that will literally melt people's minds.

Crows905d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Oh geez...this is why journos suck...they can't even see differences between games.

Stellar blade is nothing like lies of P. Didn't these guys give stellar a bad score? Geez they really hate it. Stop the hate! Lol

Friendlygamer5d ago

It's kinda bizarre what gaming journalism has become

It's called gaming activisim

Lives of P hits 7 million players

7 MILLION reasons to celebrate.
Thank you for being part of our journey.

darthv7242d ago

this reminds me... I have to get back into this one. Really well made and I like the story.

CrimsonWing6942d ago

Well deserved! I honestly feel this is the closest a Souls-like has gotten to emulating a FromSoft game to the point where I feel it was a FromSoft developed game.

toxic-inferno41d ago

It really has that classic Souls-like feel of the Bloodborne and earlier From Software titles. There's so much to love about the game, and easily one of the strongest first entries in a new franchise I've seen in a long time.

Some have criticised it for taking too much from the Soulsbourne games, but the additions and changes it makes are brilliant. It probably has the best health system of any game I've played in the genre.

Armyofdarkness42d ago

I played it and it's awesome, but what does this mean. Do they count the players that started it on GP and played 5 mins in these numbers? Last I checked this game sold 1 mill (October).

Furesis42d ago

It does say "players" and not copies sold so i think you are correct

Petebloodyonion42d ago

It would be nice to have an actual established norm for "players count" as it can be anything.

A player could be someone who cumulates at least 30 min of playtime in the game.
Also, it would be nice to understand why a single-player-only game would need a player count to measure the success of a game.
For example, it would be understandable if each player counts for some monetization like Youtube that MS has to pay the studio.

Sgt_Slaughter41d ago

Anyone who has booted up a game on Game Pass counts as a "player", which is why Microsoft and others have been using those kinds of buzzwords because they sound better than the lower "copies sold" number would be

I played this on GamePass, 1000G'd it, then bought it on the PS5 and Platinum'd it, all in the space of about a month or so. Was absolutely addicted to it and highly recommened it for any on the fence. Can't wait for either some DLC.

A survival game that improves on its predecessor in just about every way.
