Just guessing, but the reason why is probably due to your "powers" being unlocked as you progress the game
So it's much more enjoyable to explore when you have more traversal/combat options

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Sure.
Practically the same in all platform games, as these websites *are* metacritic / opencritic certified.
Do any of those things have any impact on what the game actually is though? Shouldn't the game be reviewed based on what it is, rather than what it isn't?
But even if not, do those bullet points make the game sound better to you? Even if I thought it was cool to do the first few times, eventually I would just fast travel everywhere anyway.
Why would anyone want to walk through miles of nothing on Mars?

They already confirmed Not being able to seamlessly take off and land since last year. Everything else is true tho more or less.

Exactly generation defining games are hardly ever rated below 90 on metracritic.

85-87 is a good score and pretty much on par with their games. Enjoy the game.

Ragnarok isn’t a great example, it got 10/10’s from most outlets, including IGN.Sure.

I meant an example where PlayStation or Nintendo sites score very differently from other reviewers.

Mr. Community
Honestly, in this post gamergate world, 85-90 is good.
You know what the problem is? The massive overhyping.
Just enjoy the game as is, and wait for mods to fix it - like in every bethesda game.

Can't believe people expected this game to have space travel with 1000 explorable planets after thats what they told us it would haveThe Starfield Subreddit and Resetera are on coping mode.

Mostly eyeballed it so I'm sure I missed data points. PlayStation games tend to get more reviews and both seem rather insignificant, especially when you factor in weighting of the scores those outlets give.

Nah it’s the story, just connect it there. NG+ will probably tie into the story. Think Interstellar. It checks out too since somebody like Gene, if you listen to him, his praise mostly boils down to how much he liked the quests.
you just missed the part, where unlike starfield ragnarok got 90+ all over the boardSure.

my advice to you guys, dont get too attached to that 87 on meta, real reviews are coming for you lol.

Both Starfield and Armored Core 6 are victims of my own hype. Good games but also letdowns. I assumed they would both be amazing based off the developer pedigree and hype. Starfield, if it in fact my experience turns out to reflect the review scores, will be the bigger letdown.
With how disappointed I've been with Xbox I bought into the full "gotg" hype on this one. I desperately wanted this to be the Series X game that saves Xbox. Could it still be that game? Yes, as reviewers today are untrustworthy. My experience tho is that when a hyped game such as this reviews lower than expected, there is usually good reason for that.
Take a look at some of the most hyped games like Tears of the Kingdom, GoW Ragnarok, and Baulders Gate 3. The "hoyyype!" Is good for at least 5 free points of MC score in my experience. Between that, the constant loading, and 30 fps i need to return my hype level back to Earth!

Ragnarok sits 5 points above Starfield. It’s not like it’s a world of difference.

Probably more than that. Check my edit.

Neither did Fallout 4 or 76, and yet they were full of loadings, while every other open world game of past gen didn't.
But okay, lets see how people will move goalposts when the next Elder Scrolls also have loading screens.
They've been "upgrading the engine" since Oblivion. And that's exactly the problem.
We will see.
"Space travel" and etc. shouldnt even be a big problem. Its all smoke and mirrors. The "planet" is just a static model that you cant even approach. Its just there. Reviewers have been saying thats better to just fast travel from where you are directly to the planet, much faster.

That IGN review is outlandish!
I'm boycotting their site from here on out...
Actually , I've been doing that for the past decade. Oops!

Seems like the game is quite divisive. Figured this would be the outcome very unrealistic to think everyone would like a semi space rpg exploring game lol so far all the reviews tells me one thing if you like a Bethesda game you’re going to either love or like the game but regardless you’ll really enjoy it
PSA if you’re disappointed or mad about a game receiving an 88 across the board you’re pathetic you’re clearly here just to shit on it idc what you thought it was going to be or that the consumers hyped it up an 88 is a very enjoyable game

Apart from Starfield launching today has already been great for warriors and concern trolls outing themselves en masse and making my ignore list easier to add to!

It's enough of a difference to make one of them a GOTY caliber game.

The only people who wouldn't like Starfield probably have a distaste for Sci-Fi.

I mean this was to be expected, really. Today only confirms what we already knew, Todd lied.
The recent gameplay leaks were boring.
Still, I'm looking forward to trying it next week.

On Metacritic? Yes it is.
That’s like saying being a second and a half late to the 100m line isn’t a world of difference. Yes it is.

That looks like a ~8.7/10 averaged out
In statistics, the 7 would be considered an outlier.
And it is a weird score, given the content of the review and the fact that the reviewer also reviewed The Outer Worlds and gave it an 8.5.

My expectations were in check, I know the types of games they make and the usual flaws that come with them
I actually think they’ll exceed my expectations from what I’ve read on reviews. It sounds like the combat is strong and the campaign is way better than Bethesdas previous works. But I’ve also heard conflicting reports, so I’ll just have to see for myself

Yeah, the whole thing with boundaries on a planet which you have to get into your ship, fly a few miles down the road, land and repeat is kind of dumb.
Also apparently a lot of loading screens everywhere. So Gamebryo strikes back, lol.
However it allows in depth modding and hoarding 1000 cheeses so that is the trade off.

Not adding vehicles really does feel like a missed opportunity, but yea I guess that runs into the Gamebryo limitations.
