It was a deep cut on Gene park saying this is a weed game.
Didn’t mean to pull your chain.

I agree, very fair overall.This is the best review, by the way.
It really shows he played the game in its entirety and actually inspected the game to find the good and the bad.
10/10 review!
oh watch get even lower when people they tried to hide it from, review it

I was planning on getting this when done with BG3, but now it is wait for a sale territory. Generally I find Bethesda games too tedious so if this one is even more tedious than average then waiting a few months for a sale plus some QoL mods is the smart move imo.

I'm not a fan of randomly generated stuff. It's a big reason why I hate so many roguelikes although that's a little bit different since those are not open world games usually and it's part of a gameplay loop. But the biggest reason why I hate randomly generated areas is I want to see the creators vision of these worlds. I want to explore worlds that are hand crafted by these creators. I want to play in what they envision their worlds feeling like. Not what some piece of software throws together randomly.
Skyrim didn't have randomly generated islands or forests. They just made a big detailed world. I don't think anyone would have complained if back when Starfield was first announced, they said there'd be 4 or 5 really big planets. This feels like they're trying to outdo No Man's Sky. But No Man's Sky is a different kind of game.
I feel the same way with Borderlands too. Not randomly generated worlds, but their randomly generated guns. Eventually, they all start to feel same-y, and uninteresting. So yeah, just not a fan of anything randomly generated in gaming. Craft a world you're proud of and trust the gamer is going to enjoy their time in it.
You said that they said they’d overhauled their physics.
Unless they claimed that this overhaul meant that the ships in the game had ‘realistic’ momentum when flying through space, then they’ve done nothing wrong.
Was a specific claim made?
The line about sci fi games with no fantasy elements is particularly funny, as if the vast majority of sci-fi games without fantasy elements aren’t full of countless examples of unrealistic physics.
Like, what on earth are you talking about?
To cap it off, Starfield has fantasy elements!

Compared to Oblivion and original Fallout games they are definitely a step back. Also Obsidian did it way better with NV.

Mckmaster uses MasterCard to buy Slave drives
Polygon (no score) says that the game falls apart under way too much tedium
Starfield sterilizes the final frontier
Starfield buries its best moments beneath too much tediumwww.polygon.com
This is shocking to be honest. Did they just not like the game?
They have the same score, that's why.

Why would an Xbox shill knowingly post a video that paints the biggest and most important Xbox release in many years in a negative light?
The Alanah Pearce takes on Gaf have always been reliably smooth brained shit.

People thought Starfield was going to “save” Xbox but Xbox saved Starfield it seems.
The game must’ve been a mess when Phil dropped there cash.

What is funny is Mass Effect already figured this out years ago. ME1 had only a handful of planets you could actually visit, but how the rest of the galaxy was presented and the excellent writing that each planet had as backstory made it feel like you did explore the whole galaxy.

This may have been Redfall level if not for the year+ delay.
Guess that was a smart move.

87, the same as Halo Infinite.
I wasn't expecting any more, to be honest. I even voted for 85-89 yesterday and commented in this very thread that it'll be between 86-88. But I know people were expecting more (90-95 or even 95+) from Starfield, and it didn't live up to its potential.
The sad part is that it could have been a special game because we don't get games like these -- open-universe space RPGs.

its 87 with only 51 reviews at the moment, chance are that ll drop at least 1 or 2 points if this game got the same amount of reviews that a AAA normaly gets.

As somebody who was really on the fence about this and really wanted to get it I think after reading some of the reviews there are some pretty glaring issues and I wasn't even going to game pass this I have money set aside to get the premium and wanted to play it tomorrow.
I'm still not 100% on it but I'm going to do some more reading on it today but not a terrible game but it's exactly kind of what I expected and unfortunately some people really overhyped this game and unfortunately if it wasn't for that I think we would all be happier than we are with this. But looking at them loading screens and some of the performance issues, I really do expect more from a flagship title and it shows the state of things over at Microsoft or Bethesda even if they did cut some corners by not releasing performance modes for the console. I really am looking forward to seeing the PC performance on this but overall I am not disappointed because I think I really did expectations probably 8 as far as the score but I'm more disappointed based on the level of hype as some people really over did it with their anticipation setting this up as a sure 9/10.

Watch this review for a very in-depth and accurate representation/state of the game.

Imagine if the game launched in 2022 like originally planned, whilst also being on PS5. Would have released in a really bad state.

I read a couple early impressions and the writing was on the wall that this was no GOTY contender lol.
I think as someone mentioned, as Bethesda/MS were petty and tried to control the media by denying review outlets codes for the game, those reviews will from denied sites will come back to bite them in the ass as they will drop the MC lower. If it is 87 now it will likely drop to 85 at least.

All good. I misunderstood.
It could go either way really. Next review could be 7 or could be 10? No way to know.

I just noticed that this guy now works at IGN. He gave DNF an 80, Prey 2017 a 4 and Starfield a 7.5 lmao
And 9.5 to Fallout 4

Every time, i don't get why people hate her - all her content is controversy free and her streams are super chill. She just loves games.
Seems like they just hate that she's pretty and makes money?

Listening to it and comes across well, no hyperbole like a lot of frauds out there.

I find it hilarious when people recommend a review as being an accurate representation of the game when they themselves haven't played it, so would of course have no idea if it's accurate or not.

this is worse than i expected.
so there is no real space ship segments.
just a window dressing around each planet with random ship encounters....
I also did not expect so much menus surfing and loading screens, bad traversal mechanics breaks the open world immersion.
whoops, Starfield is looking like MS FF16. They took too much budget to implement new things and had to fall back to archaic gameplay loops.

He used to always have 30-60k until he stopped playing shooters, which he is great at - its prob just release hype but he has a ton of fans.

you are 100% right but in this industry a bad review ll always generate more clicks then a good one

It's 87 now but with only 44 reviews. It will only go down from here and will end at like 84-85. Yeah, hardly a disaster but for a game hyped up as the saviour for Xbox for the past 3 years it's a huge disappointment.
