Seems the non cherry picked reviews are finally hitting.

Or no name websites know they'll get loads of clicks posting a 4 to 6 score...

RupeeHoarder244d ago (Edited 244d ago )

Or maybe some people just don't like it. Which is a very realistic possibility....this isn't a 12 hour action packed banger..... it's a 40 hour sludge. Not for everyone.

BehindTheRows244d ago

But the Xbox-centric sites get a pass for perfect scores, yes?

"Or no name websites know they'll get loads of clicks posting a 4 to 6 score..."

Exactly. Just sorry losers that were not granted with a review code.

As I stated.

or no names are triggered because their favorite game didn't get a 10. Grow up.

@workshy

No name or not, I visited their website to see their other reviews in order to compare their criticism and come to an observation as to whether or not they're reputable and it appears that they are because most of their other big name reviews are on point in my opinion. So I came to the conclusion that this review is not click bait but rather an honest review, meaning this game is just mediocre at best.

SixFrvgz243d ago

It's actually quite scary that you Midfield fangirls live in a world of delusion, where bad scores are only because of "hAtErS" or "cLiCkbAiT".

Lord only knows how else your guys' warped minds work.

neomahi243d ago

It's actually easier to side on the favorable side. Takes more guts (IGN who usually suck) to be honest and go against the grain

IamFrasierCrane243d ago

That doesn’t make sense. They’d get way more clicks if they posted at release. Perhaps they actually took time to review the game?

Im not one to give a game more credit than is due...but this reviewer seems to have given up too soon. The powers can make enemies way easier. Just one point, but valid.

GameCraves244d ago

I played for 40 hours and completed the whole story and all the faction missions and a bunch of sidequests. Wanted to quit 10 hours in but was really pushing myself to complete 😅

Fishy Fingers244d ago (Edited 244d ago )

That's fair and each to their own.

But self submitting your self written, self run "website" reviews, might as well be a N4G blog post/comment.

Eonjay244d ago (Edited 244d ago )

@Fishy Fingers

A huge number of the stories are submitted by the article writers. Our greatest contributor works for Tech Radar (previously Dual Schockers) and submits his own stories. How do you think he got number 1 contributor?

Fishy Fingers244d ago (Edited 244d ago )

Tech radar established in 2008 with 30 employees?

You can read why I think that's slightly different on www.fishyfingersgaming.com.

Mr_cheese244d ago (Edited 244d ago )

Come on Fishy.

Self submitting happens across the board. You're just choosing to focus on it since they took the time to engage in a conversation when realistically, you should focus on the points you made and those that were countered.

How Starfield Remains a Success Story In The Face of Failure

Expectations for Starfield were sky-high, and while many felt it fell short of them, raw sales and other statistics tell a different tale.

The stats can say anything, because they don't release the stuff that counts.

Scissorman5d ago

Agreed. I'd love to know the budget on this one to be honest. What was it? 6-8 years in development?

anast5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Howard said this game had been a concept for 25 years. Let that sink in.

TwoPicklesGood5d ago

I play it on Steam and it’s phenomenal.

Flewid6385d ago

I have it on GamePass PC and I have yet to encounter a single wow moment.

Vits5d ago

The ship building is kinda cool... And that's about it. In all seriousness, I don't think it's a bad game, but violently mediocre with some really head-scratching choices that made me go "why" rather than "wow" more often than not.

DustMan5d ago

Same here. Not saying it's the best they've ever released, but the hate it gets is pretty absurd. I've been completely enjoying the 50 or so hours I've dropped into it.

Flewid6384d ago

To be fair, I have yet to play a single Bethesda game that I found enjoyable. The whole "talking to cardboard cutouts from the uncanny valley" thing is tolerable in games like Mass Effect, but it loses me completely in Bethesda titles.

Flewid6385d ago

Hunger is the best spice. lol.

Knightofelemia5d ago

I'll never forget advertised as an open world sandbox game but you run into invisible Star Trek barriers when exploring. GTA has never done that and neither has No Man's Sky. If people love this game good for them I am not touching it. And if Microsoft does say port this game to Playstation I am still not touching this game.

DustMan5d ago

I started playing a few weeks ago and am enjoying it thoroughly. Perfect, absolutely not. Yet it's nowhere near as bad as what people make it out to be. Plenty of quests to get side tracked with. The gunplay has been tightened up significantly in my opinion since Fallout 4. I originally listened to the online crowd absolutely crap on the game and made me curious to see if it was that bad. It's not. It's a good and fun game. It just didn't live up to the developer hype and peoples expectations. Which wouldn't be the first time Bethesda, or Microsoft promised the world, and gave us the moon.

I will say that the beginning few story missions really kind of drag, but once you unlock powers it picks up. I think that first few hours soured a lot of folks who left it behind before really digging in to it. Which is understandable.

jwillj2k45d ago

First few hours??? How about the first 130 hours according to the developers. Need to get past 130hrs to start enjoying the game.

Hugodastrevas5d ago

That's when the Stockholm syndrome kicks in
