the 7 reviews are weird. Lots of "ummm well I just didn't like it ok?"
I'm looking forward to a legitimate 5-6 review from someone that disliked the game for genuine reasons instead of these milquetoast shits like, "space is cool but not *that* cool"
sony money speaks
Microsoft has more money than every game company combined. You morons said the same thing about the CMA blocking the Activision deal. Xbots are truly mentally ill
The talking points are here. The truth has been written and its "snoy paid the reviewers" going forward on v
Sony is nutoriously involved with the media and entertainment industry while Microsoft simply isn't. Its not that hard to figure out anon.
You are literally moronic
You see what you wana see and ignore what you dont wana see. Braindead fanboy
he knows because the sites wanted to give it 5/10 for being shit but MS gave them cash to up it to 7
Look at gameranx before you buy.
they do honest reviews of what the game is actually like and dont have moronic ratings
buy an ad you fricking shill
>anon says he is looking forward to honest reviews
>gives him a place where there are honest reviews
>shill
The YT channel has like 7.5mil subs and their reviews get massive views.
They are the only reviewers I trust simple because they are a handful of vidya players who actually play the games and talk about the pros and cons, not failed journos doing vidya reviews to cope with their shit career path.
They’re the biggest gaming news channel on youtube
And they still have to advertise on this shithole? Pathetic.
We've had this thread before. The 0/10 rating system is moronic and never made any sense.
99% of all games are rated between 7-8.
If they actually wanted to say something they would have used /5
1/5 means unplayable don't buy it
2/5 means it's not worth buying
3/5 means it's worth buying
4/5 is a recommendation
5/5 it's a must buy
We learn nothing from a review system that will grade literally unplayable unfinished dog shit like that vampire shooter 6/10. This is why nobody cares about review sites and this moronic 9/10 rating they'd give to Zelda.
brainlet take. dividing the scale by 2 isn't going to change shitty review processes. the problem's not in the numbers but in the dependencies of the reviewers on the publishers.
You want good reviews look for reviewers that dont take press copies of games.
Hence why everyone looks up reviews on YouTube from influencers and streamers. It's why people like dunkey and asmongold make bank on giving a straight forward opinion.
I agree with this frog. 5 works better
>Frog and anime posters are morons.
Everytime.
The issue would become every game being 4-5 then with the very rare 3.
Just don't listen to reviewers like these gays.
>Everytime.
Every time is not a single word.
So you can just divide result of 0/10 rating and got what you want. Ever thought about that?
then 4/5 will be unplayable asset flip and 5/5 will be the new "its okay"
Unironically Steam's system is better since it's just a simple good or bad.
No it isn't, it's "do you recommend this product?". Someone can like a game but not recommend it for some reason, it happens all the time.
That is genuinely better. Seeing people not recommend the game despite long hours played is an actually a good way to see if their review holds merit. One of the big problem with modern review systems is games journos will play a game for an incredibly short period of time on the lowest difficulty and skipping all the tutorials then gives an incredibly stilted interpretation of the game because if they get their review out first, they get more clicks and more money. They literally will not know what they're talking about and you can't even say they've played enough to formulate their opinions. If a guy's got 1500 hours in a game and he's telling me it's an addictive shitpile, possibly due to a recent update (Name a big name reviewer who updates their reviews to correlate with big game updates - you can't) I'm more inclined to believe him, and I'll know if it was either resolved or the reviewer is just weak-willed or spiteful if they've put in another 1500 hours afterwards.
I agree, but I was just trying to point out that it's not like a review score. A lot of people think a 90% on steam in a 9/10 or an A-, that isn't what it is at all.
People with a thousand hours give the best reviews of a product recommended or not. They can go into depth on really specific reasons and what has changed with a game.
Thats why i tend to consult the masses instead of individuals when it comes to recommending shit. Contrary to what Ganker thinks the masses are thousands of times smarter and more perceptive than individuals.
>1/2means unplayable don't buy it
>3/4 means it's not worth buying
>5/6 means it's worth buying
>7/8 is a recommendation
>9/10 it's a must buy
was that so hard?
There is literally no reason for a number system. It does nothing. A review should have text about how the person who played it felt and then at the end you should be able to figure out if you like it or not. The entire "7/10" shit is stupid. Humans are not even good at naturally utilizing a scale like this, and always tend towards certain numbers.
Then I just come away from a review confused about if it is worth it or not
If you can't read someone talk about how they felt someone and deduce if you would want to play it or not without a magical "this means you should play it number" then you should actually just castrate yourself and not waste time playing video games.
It isn't like that, it's just im naturally submissive so prefer clear guidelines
you can blame number obsessed Sumerian morons for this. for thousands of years we've done this shit, the metric system is an extreme form of this and shows how far we've fallen.
>what i like/my personal bias
>what i dislike about game
>what i like about game
no need to over complicate it
Hi Joe, you're alright buddy
ftfy
Number ratings are gay and only exist so they can be easy plastered on advertisements. A video game is way too complex to just tie a silly number to it as a whole. A game review should end with a 2-5 paragraph verdict and thats it.
The 0/10 rating system has always made sense, it's just that dumbfrick morons like you:
1. Can't figure out why it works the way it does
2. Are upset that the game you were hyped on isn't being rated by others as highly as your moron ass thinks it should be
You are delusional and biased. You've attached yourself to bethesdaslop and their games like a cultist does to a religion.
the rating system is not the problem, the conzoomers who can't read for more than 2 minutes or think for more than 5 without a hot meal in their lap to keep their hands busy and subway surfer off to the side are the problem
Use your own ability to interpret the words they said about what the problems or qualities are and go from there
Trying to fixate on a number is literally the opposite of thinking
It doesn't even matter, its not like half of you actually speak with flesh and blood humans and get upset when they smile at a number rating while you hammer your fists on the table, right?
My favorite games are "6/10"s typically because at least them having problems that holds it back is more interesting to think about than whatever shitty story is written into it
>Qtard-tier conspiracy theories
Holy fricking copium!
>still believes reviews are legit and fair
oh you naive child
>Poor little Microsoft can't afford to bribe journos for their games' reviews
They can afford to. But bribes have to be accepted.
When it comes to corporate clout, MS is like old money fundamentalist conservatives. Yeah, they've got cash out the fricking ass, but what they stand for is so uncool and disliked that people turn them away just because frick you frick off.
>the 7 reviews are weird. Lots of "ummm well I just didn't like it ok?"
>awful ui
>no way to manage inventory, easier to drop shit on the ground in ship that scroll through 1000 names one at a time
>no maps of the towns, impossible to find vendors
>loading screens every 5 seconds, nothing is seamless
>generic and predictable story
>linear with few rpg mechanics, you can only play as the same b***h good guy with few choices
>repetitive combat
Thats from IGN review alone, he spends few minutes describing how bad the UI is and that it almost makes the game unplayable.
And that seem fair, fallout 4 ui is so bad i can only imagine how even worse version of that could ruin games for people.
So he is a moron
Baldurs Gate has a shit UI
Honestly has the worst inventory I've ever used or seen in a game. Equipment slots seriously don't work half the time.
The same guy gave Fallout 4 a 9.5
It was on PS4
So it's way worse than fallout 4? Holy shit.
If you have the exact same mindset as the reviewer and think Outer Worlds deserves an 8.5 and Elden Ring is impossible to play without guides, then yea Starfield is way worse than Fallout 4.
I think it's that times have changed, fallout 4 came out 8 years ago
Just look at reviewers dicksucking BG3 just month ago
These outlets are generating opinions that brainless normalgays will follow. Snoygays could consider switching sides because of Starfield, but now will think that game is "mid" since eceleb/reviewer said so
That's the intention. these people are polarizing and want to turn everything into a culture war. Xbox to them is rightwing while Playststion is leftwing. Thats all u really need to know, I predicted a metacritic of 85 and its looking like that might be accurate
Here's some criticism from a German review, 8/10 but it gives a good summary
https://www.gamestar.de/artikel/starfield-test-steam-review,3399541.html
>The only thing bigger than Starfield's ambitions is the wasted potential of the role-playing game. Nevertheless, there is a fun space trip in it.

This is literally just b***hing about things people say they want but actually don't
Elite exists
And it is boring as shit flying in space for minutes at a time
Elite is fake and gay you cannot sc between systems you have to jump so it loads them.
Have you ever considered providing the option to do both? Like every other game with a fast travel system. Cope harder gayboy.
SC is a better space simulation than Elite and SC only has one fricking system and a buggy ass online that barely works
Yeah, this is the oddest part of all this.
We have had so many space games over the last 10 years which clearly demonstrate that the concept of an open world space game is not fun. Partly because true space is boring and partly because the cost of a giant open world seamless universe with meaningful content is too expensive to make.
Starfield is a scifi game, and instead of wasting time flying from A to B it teleports you, it works and its efficient. I don't understand why people want a 5 minute loading screen where you fly your ship from A to B. It literally takes half an hour in Elite to fly from two close stations, 10-15m in Star Citizen, 5-30m in NMS.
while I do like space sim mechanics because I absolute LOVED Elite, even I can understand why bethesda chose the route they went with. It's a lot more fun to get to the action than to fly your ship in a straight line for 15 minutes to then spend another 15 minutes lining up with a planet just to land.
So people's complaints are that it is too much like a Bethesda game and not enough like NMS? Just play NMS then what the frick this isn't a criticism. This is like saying " well the guns don't feel as good as call of duty so it's not a very good game"
I didn't know bethesda trademarked loading screens and no vehicles.
people really expected more freedom of exploration and flying around.
Yes, being able to fly to planet would be nice.
Being stuck in big arenas with forcefields is big disappointment.
"I just didn't like it" is a more useful review than trying to grade "objectively." One can go on and on about the flaws in Elden Ring, but it's still a must-buy for the type of person that's into it.
>didn't like the inventory management -2
I mean. I understand if you dislike managing your inventory but every RPG ever tends to be obnoxious that way.
I will wait for based man review
Holy frick have a nice day already and stop shilling your garbage videos
>major questlines not touched or barely began
>eager to go back
>7/10
uhhhhh
Did he not play skyrim either? Because it has the same situation of questlines barely started 70 hours in
>game is confirmed to be mediocre with lazy design like no actual planetfall and space is just a glorified dressing room for your ship
>outlets give it a review reflecting that
>IT'S A HECKIN' CONSPIRACY!!!!
I mean, read the review, it didn't quite seem fairly judged
Xbox games lack that Sony bonus. It’s that simple. Nintendo has it, Sony has it, Microsoft doesn’t. A Microsoft game has to be an absolute masterpiece, absolute perfection, to score above 90. And of course, forget about a MS game getting any GOTY ever.
Just be aware of that when checking the reviews and you’ll be less disappointed in those “journalists”.
LOL, reviewers are afraid of offending big companies, and microsoft-activision is basically the biggest game company in the world. And starfield still only gets a 7 tells you how shit it is. People who defend starfield are truly corporate bootlickers
Starfield is not a space game. It's a giant fricking lie.
That video Alanah Pearce posted really opened my eyes as to how shit this game really is, why did they even bother making a "space" RPG if you can't even explore space? They would've been better off just making Fallout 5 instead. Blunder of the Decade, for sure.
we've known about this shit for weeks.
shes not gonna frick you bro
Keep coping, she exposed you and your shitty game.
>simping for female influencers to shit on xbox games
why compels snoys to sink to these depths?
>a Sony influencer thinks an Xbox-exclusive is bad
Damn bro stop the fricking presses
Its fallout 4 in space but with more loading/wait times.
Average player is fricking brain dead and won't care, but you can only release the same shitty game so many times with a new skin before even the morons catch on that these games are legit only "good" due the modding scene. If you ignore that, they're not that good.
A Spanish publication gave the game a 6 and said that it tries to do too much without doing anything right, that you spend more time in menus than exploring places, that you progress through the story and realize that none of the characters are interesting, etc.
Link me, I need to practice my Spanish.
> uninspired main story
> underwhelming vision
> shallow RPG mechanics
> terrible map system
This describes every Bethesda game. It's probably the only honest review of a Bethesda game ever published.
the 7 reviews are weird. Lots of "ummm well I just didn't like it ok?" I'm looking forward to a legitimate 5-6 review from someone that disliked the game for genuine reasons instead of these milquetoast shits like, "space is cool but not *that* cool"
>game is objectively shit
>gets bad reviews
>THEYRE CONSPIRING AGAINST US TO BRING OUR BRAND DOWN
lmfao the cope
Then explain why IGN Japan gave it a 10 while US IGN gave it a fricking 7.
It was proven some time ago that IGN without bribes gives max 7 on games.
literally paid are you fricking serious do you really think starshit looks like a "PERFECT" game?
holy frick youre subhuman
>They paid IGN Japan.....but not IGN America
gotta generate interest in it somehow
its not even a top seller in japan
>its not even a top seller in jap-
you ignore how much Japan likes Bethesda slop
It may not be a 10 but it sure as frick isn't a 7, you stupid fricking chimp.
Go frick yourself, Bethestard, you deserved this.
>No actual argument
Concession accepted
Yeah, it's like a 6
how would you know that? So far it could be between a 60 and low 90s for me, really depends on the actual quests and content of which we havent really seen so far
>t. Fromshitter who's lapping up Armored Shit 6
Easy. Go look at the leaks and tell me that jank is worth higher than a 7, seething shill.
they cant. Theyll just give you an even more insane conspiracy theory.
Because TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE reviewed the game for TWO DIFFERENT OUTLETS you fricking moron.
If reviewer is competent, it should give correct objective score.
Rephrasing the question, who do you think is less competent: IGN US or IGN JP?
Do you even have to ask, Japs giving it a 10 is a great sign, even if they just love Todd bc its cute
And why everyone are focusing like zombies in the ones from sites already known by hating xbox and giving bad reviews with stupid reasons, bigger gorilla moronic monkey.
small sites are more easily bribed
Perhaps the Japan corporate overlords were scary enough to persuade that score to happen whereas the IGN Mutt didn't bow to massuh this time.
Might get Jeff'd for being so uppity.
IGN Japan is based and IGN US is cringe
They both are cringe. IGNJ is widely looked down in Japan.
IGN Japan are pathetic westaboos
>game is objectively shit
that's never stopped IGN from giving a high score
Definitely not a 10, but this game's only problem is having a shit story. The gameplay is very good and so are the graphics, environmental design, and general game feel
The gameplay and graphics absolutely mogs Starfield.
>Gameplay
You haven't played it.
Not him but I have and regret it, your woke troony walking simulator was garbage.
thanks for outing yourself as a snoy Black person, stay mad that more and more of your garbage ass games are coming to pc and pc players are not so starved for games they give every """""game"""" sony relases a 10/10.
worthless frick
>non-stop astrotufing on Ganker from snoys once Microsoft cucked them
>Sony has repeatedly tantrumed over Chadfield
>t-there's no way they would do everything in their power like paying off the most notoriously corrupt reviewer in the industry for a hit piece on a game which destroyed their overpriced paperweight console
Mask up, drone, truebloods are posting here.
>NOOOOOO THE ARE BREAKING THE NUMBER ONE RULE!!!
What if all the review sites gave it a mid score but in reality the user Metacritic score is in the high 90s
that only happens with chud games. Starfield is probably only slightly better than redfall
Why are Indians shilling this game so hard?
They just landed a robot on the moon so now every pajeet thinks they're an expert on outer space
>verification not required
>looks and plays exactly like every bethesda game since oblivion
>this is now suddenly a bad thing when it's not on playstation
>it's EXACTLY the same as our 20 year old games!
> huh why don't you like it
Bethesda core design philosophy is dated as frick. people only started to realise after FO4, and guess what, it's more FO4
Those 20 year old Bethesda games are still better than 99.99999999% of games released today.
Morrowind maybe
Oblivion? lol
Skyrim? lol
FO3? lol
Kingdom Come does a lot of things better than Bethesda despite being a AA studio.
The IGN reviewer in question gave Kingdom Come a 3. Do you think his reviews aren't ideologically biased?
Nobody will reply to this because it would be a direct acknowledgment of how fricked IGN is
KCD is my favorite RPG since oblivion holy shit what an excellent game
A 3? was it penalized a full 5-6 points for no black people? That's the best open world RPG outside of The Witcher and even has more choice and freedom
Shit, I rank it even above W3
If being moronic is an ideology, sure. One of his complaints is stealth is useless if you don't put points in stealth and you don't get the coolest stuff right off the bat.
He gave FO4 a 9.5 btw, in case youre wondering what class of "person" getting power armor 15 minutes in appeals too
I probably would've given first patch Kingdom Come a score like that too, it was pretty much unplayable.
People wanted more FO4 after 76 came out what are you talking about
It got worse, the only good thing about bethesda design™ was the complex word and characters, that made it worth to go through the combat jank.
Now they simplified everything to the marrow, the games are just empty.
Fo4 is an empty game, 76 is even worse.
But that's what everyone wanted, Ganker has been praising the witcherino 3 constantly for having massive cities filled with 99% generic npcs. Meanwhile Bethesda is a complete piece of shit for having small cities full of handcrafted npcs.
Now Bethesda has finally done it, everyone can get the big cities filled with soulless generic npcs, is this not exactly what everyone wanted?
I completely agree Witcher 3 characters are hollow and boring, the fights are very good tho.
Fallout 76 broke the spell. Bethesda is done. They will not be able to release a outdated game ever again.
I like the Bethesda formula but it honestly seems too old fashioned for what Starfield is trying to achieve. Fallout and Elder Scrolls setting fit the formula much better
This game ISN'T like every bethesda game since Oblivion
>See that mountain over there
>You CANT explore it
They actually axed the fricking open world exploration their games had and turned it into uncurated instances of randomly generated "content"
You couldn't have made a more soulless game if you tried
Xbots are in full on damage control mode lmfaoooooo
It's true, though. Have you ever heard of Destructoid before you started using Metacritic?
What exactly do games like Elden Ring or TOTK have over Starfield that they deserve 9's and 10's? As someone who doesn't care about any of them, it just seems like 3 different flavors of bland, open-world slop.
Your assessment is about accurate with the exception ER still manages to be of poorer construction than most of said bland open world slop. But your take is for the most part in tune with reality. These games, while technically are close to the upper maximum of quality in the modern market do not really distinguish themselves enough to be considered any better or worse. Most of the discussion of reviews is just a 3rd world hyena shit show.
seamless gameplay
Damn if only fallout 4 had no loading screens it would have reviewed well
>american IGN
it wasn’t pozzed enough, france, japan, spain all gave it a great score
>france
>spain
>not pozzed
Compared to the US they're not.
check the sites that gave Starfield 7s
they all gave TikTok a 9.6/10
The cope will be LEGENDARY
The cope already is
The shazam troons are having to suck off IGN and GAMESPOT of all outlets, because pretty much every other reviewer is praising the game
I'm assuming you must also agree that fallout 4 is an almost perfect 9/10 since you're agreeing with IGN? Right Anon? you're not just a moronic troony right?
I don't think this game is good (never cared for Bethesda games), but hanging with some people on Gamescon tou hear things.
The guy is right, bur I doubt he knows it, he is mocked by a lot of journalists.
People have no idea how fricking petty and political gaming events and journos became after occupy wallstreet and anita.
It feels like capeshit editorials.
Never gave a frick about reviews. I've played games you people wouldn't believe. I've seen 3/10 games glitter in the dark.
Frick them basic reviewer c**ts.
Post some. Love me some jankino.
The game is absolute trash, and the only reason it even got a 7 is because MS paid them. Yet another studio dead because of Microsoft's greed and incompetence. Yet another utterly bottom tier Xbox exclusive lmao.
That same IGN reviewer game fallout 4 a 9.5
Fallout 4 was a xbox exclusive ?
You all would automatically believe it if it was a game you like.
We're living in a post-Elen Ring world, of course people don't want another brown open world game
Microsoft's obsessive victim complex is really becoming a huge problem. Their marketing and damage control sounds like schizophrenia, unironically. Nobody is out to get them, their games and consoles just fricking suck, can't compete, and bring nothing to the table. It's not a conspiracy and it isn't complicated. All the Starfield leaks the past week show an incredibly shitty, and janky game that I would have given a 4/10 so they are lucky they could even afford that 7 to cover their worthless, talentless asses.
I don't really have a horse in this race but what's more likely? That Bethesda released yet another mediocre first person RPG built on the same billion-year-old technology they've been using since the earth cooled? Or that there's a ruthless and monolithic conspiracy against the Xbox brand causing the game to get middling scores?
That popular reviewers live in SF and are trooned out to the max and are extremely biased against both Todd and Bethesda. Negative reviews from right wing white males are probably reasonable.
The latter because we've known that for awhile now, almost every journalist is a Leftist Sony fan, like leftists and troonys they infiltrate all major outlets
when they dock points for story i do wonder, does it not have enough black trannies or something
We did it philbros!
Starfield is as bad as Fallout 76 and Cyberpunk at launch combined. They are delusional for thinking this is a good game.
Ahh the putin book on dealing with opposition!
>anyone who doesnt love us is the enemy
>the enemy is using dark tactics!
>these dark tactics make them illegitimate
>we must outlaw the illegitimate enemies
that's literally how the US operates. We're still yet to see WMDs and evidence of Russia hacking election ballots
You may find the updoots you were looking for with this post if you go on over to reddit.
the biden playbook, you mean.
>big websites give it a 7
>small websites give it 9 or 10
this fricking stinks of sony
Remember when microsoft paid shills like fish to claim the japanese video game market was dying?
And he was a good friend
he's not wrong
the outer worlds is super underrated and i bet a lot of people will come around to it after experiencing starflop
It's not underrated. Nobody like "dykes in space" shit.
i liked it a lot, it was a nice a little game and i didn't mind the writing
Ahajajajajajabahahahhahaha
Kys troony
75 from PC Gamer is brutal
Hmmmmmm...
definitely no agenda here, no sir!
>IGN japan gave it a 10/10

Maybe the IGN Japan guy is a westaboo.
i though that guy was talking bullshit, but after the reviews, it was right

>Retired Ytuber. The Art of Trolling

The amount of copium in these threads are astounding
Reminder that this particular IGN homosexual gave KCD a 3 becuz no black peepo
Rating any bethesda game higher than a 5/10 is absurd
>Reviewers signing their death warrants
Means they know they're getting blacklisted by Bethesda for intentionally giving it a score lower than it deserves and they don't care because PS is the BLM console
Space will never surpass fantasy, why don't you people understand?
Should've worked on Elder Scrolls 6 instead.
I think the conspiration is even deeper than that. They bought bethesda knowing that it was going to make a shit game that everyone was going to hate and meme about. Now microsoft got some free press.
80 billion for a little free press
Snoy's...go to bed
Prove that it cost that much
I don't think the console it's on matters, the game just doesn't look that interesting . Why haven't I seen a single alien enemy design yet? Just generic space pirate dudes that look the same as the MC.
Yup, it's mid.
When I saw clips of their big city with all those npcs but they were all named "citizen", I knew it was soulless
Seems like the game was too buggy.
I will be playing this day 1 thanks to xbox game pass!

>xbox shill says there's a conspirancy to bring down xbox
He would fit in with every xbot here
the funny thing is it doesn't matter if they gave it a 1/10 literally everyone is going to play it anyways
and in 4 years the original experience will be unrecognizable with all the mods available. how relevant is anything they wrote in the fallout 4 or skyrim reviews to someone playing it today?
this is bait to get people talking about ign
can't wait for the intergalactic e-girl smuggling cartel mods
homie what mods for fallout 4 are you even talking about? What mods "fixed" fallout 4 for you?
who says it needed to be fixed?
you're acting like a synth
Okay, what are your favorite fallout 4 mods?
for reference on how seriously you should take "games reviews"
IGN, please stop shilling your reviews here. It's fricking annoying and you're a terrible site.
>Heh, SNOYS taking IGN USA's score at face value just to spite us XCHADS, I thought they said IGN were shills and their scores weren't real anyways?
>LOOK AT IGN SPAIN'S REVIEW, IT'S A 10! SNOY SNOY SNOY XGAWDS, WE WON, TODD HOWARD IS THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST, ENJOY TLOU 3 SNOOOOOOOOY
This is embarrassing but extremely funny to watch, they're broken.
Explain why one review from IGN is good and one isn't?
If you agree that Starfield is a 7 then you agree that Fallout 4 is a 9; is that true?
I could only assume because Microsoft's check bounced this time.
IGN is a joke, game reviews are a joke, Starfield is a joke, and Besetheda has always been a joke. Literally all of their games are bad. Every single one. The reason you homosexuals love Morrowind so much is because you have a low IQ and no social abilities, so being able to talk to cat dudes got you hard. Any respectable human playing games during the time was playing games by companies like Capcom, then getting laid later. You are pathetic.
>IT'S THE SAME GUY WHO GAVE PREY A BAD REVIEW AND WAS FORCED TO RE-REVIEW AFTER THE INTERNET CALLED HIS BULLSHIT
https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/05/13/prey-review-2
Can't make this shit up HAHAHAHAHA
people complaining about IGNs 7/10 when wienersucker McAffrey basically runs that joint. if the game was as good as all the astroturfing made it out to be that shill would have made sure it was a 10.
Are we still pretending 7 is a bad score? That's above average. I wouldn't give any post-Morrowind Bethesda game higher than that. Their games are jank as frick and usually end up being pretty mediocre RPGs until the modders take the reins. They're practically designed to land in the 7-8 range. Why is it that every major release is almost expected to be a 9 or 10 these days?
Hope he gets fired for showing the utter disrespect to an american Hero like motherfricking Todd Howard.
So how sexy can the clothes and armor look?

im so sick of this infantile cretin culture
What did the snoypony mean by this
What's wrong with this statement
Completely and utterly hypocritical as Sony has been much more damaging to consumer choice than microdick ever has.
That still doesnt mean the statement is wrong.
How has Sony been worse?
Sony funding and managing productions so they are exclusives on their platforms is 'adding' to gaming. It isn't taking anything away.
But Microsoft is literally buying out publishers and demanding that they scrap their playstation versions.
PlayStation isn't doing that. Bungie is still releasing Marathon on Xbox.
>demanding that they scrap their playstation versions.
they did that for FFXVI, proven in a court of law as well, anon. The whole reason Microsoft bought Bethesda is that Sony was trying to snatch them first.
>they did that for FFXVI, proven in a court of law as well, anon
No that was never "proven" in a court of law.
Square Enix decided that they wanted specific support from Sony's engineers and that resulted in them making the game exclusive so they could make it focused.
It is true that Microsoft complained about the deal but that doesn't mean Microsoft was correct. Especially since they had already bought Bethesda at that point.
>Square Enix decided that they wanted specific support from Sony's engineers
you must be retarted to believe this
I think the bigger moron is the one who isn't a dev, intentionally disbelieving the dev in question's own words.
I mean sure for you maybe. But for the industry at large locking down free agents to be controlled by Microsoft's business culture as opposed to some games being exclusive for a short while sometimes, is not really the same.
This is true. But I'd say the prior deals were indicative of what sort of relationship that would be.
>The whole reason Microsoft bought Bethesda is that Sony was trying to snatch them first.
That wasn't proven. The only thing that Sony tried to do was to make "TIMED" exclusivity deals for games. Just like they did with Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo.
The TIMED exclusivity element it the primary thing that distinguishes the two and why one is worse than the other by a significant margin.
its basically the same thing because of fomo. if people can't buy these massive AAA games at release then they might not play them at all.
>That wasn't proven. The only thing that Sony tried to do was to make "TIMED" exclusivity deals for games
It's only known that sony tried to make starfield exclusive to playstation, we don't know any details
MS makes games available on two platforms at launch while sony usually makes them exclusive to their platform at launch to get the launch sales. it's objectively better for consumer choice
Good, frick MS and frick anyone who supports them.
frick consumer choice. they are selling you a product and its a luxury product.
Was this quote in reference to the Activision-Blizzard merger? It was obvious that Microsoft was not in the wrong. FTC's case was extremely weak.
>a 3 is given a 7 in 2023
The negatives listed on their reviews are present on multiple other games (or worse) that these sane reviewers gave 9s to. The sony money is so blatantly obvious it's hilarious
guess bethesda forgot to pay their critics this time. oh well, maybe when ES6 comes around they will.
The new crop of diversity hires will probably sabotage that game, too, I think Bethesda's days might be numbered.
>Even after about 70 hours there are major questlines I haven’t even touched, and others I barely began. I’m eager to go back and finish a lot of those up now that I’ve completed the main story.
>7/10
Yeah, Sony has a habit of buying the score but not the text, and that's when you see shit like this
F U DAN U UGLY FAT PIECE OF $HIT GO F'in FALL OFF A BIRDGE AND DIE N1ggER
lmao the absolute state of Xbots right now.
>A fricking 7 with the Bethesda bonus enabled
Oi vey, did they finally understood the Bethesdaslop?
He was right. I've read some of the 7/10 reviews and it doesn't read like it was written by anyone who actually played it.
Don't get me wrong I expect this to be a 7.5-8/10 game but it would be nice to see some real reasons as to why. So far none have been written by reviewers.
the best reviewer is that Angry Joe YouTuber, when I am on the fence I usually watch his video on it. I'm an idiot like him so I guess we think alike when it comes to games.
Zelda
>text says it's good but has issues
>10/10
Starfield
>text says it's good
>7/10
Has a 7/10 mindbroke a cultist fanbase so hard before?
I haven't seen such hardcore levels of cope when its painfully obvious the game is not even near a 9 or a 10
The thing is there are plenty of games that are 7-7.5/10 but get 9s and 10s anyway. What's different about this situation?
>It doesn't NEED to have good reviews.
I think it's fricking FANTASTIC that a globohomosexual corporation is WHINING like petulant children because their game is objective garbanzo. Microsoft AND Sony got BTFO. Back to back years.
All these game review sites are also globohomo. It's all fake.
what does copium taste like anyway
Microsoft should just sue Sony into oblivion at this point. Between the marketing guerilla warfare the the Acitvision legal nonsense, it's clear they want war.
t. PCgay, don't care about your shitty console war but holy shit is this blatant
if it keeps escalating at this rate elder scrolls 6 is going to wind up being xbox exclusive.
Anon the problem is, SONY has a direct line with the devil due to the media industry.
MS has the government.
>sony has a direct line to the devil
>microsoft also has a direct line to the devil
So what is the problem? Satan only wants one of his tools to try and shit up Ganker discussions?
LMAO imagine being this mindbroken, what a pitiable existence you must lead.
Microsoft and their shills are the only ones attacking every game that threatens their dying gaming division.
People are playing this on PC. You console homosexuals are totally irrelevant.
its literally no man sky with npcs
Well I got a free game code coming with my video card purchase so whatever, I will play it.
If this was a PlayStation exclusive I guarantee it would be raking in 9-10 scores all over the place. It’s pathetic how much money Sony sinks into putting Xbox down and inflating their movie game scores
Cope and rope, Xcuck.
>Game doesn't live up to the hype
>"I-it's da haters dawg!!!"
I fricking hate these subhumans so fricking much...
That tweet is months old
If this dude already knew the game wasn't up to speed and was doing damage control months before release, it still fills what I've said.
>i-i-if!!!
cope harder snoytroony
Shartfield lost, get over it, chud.
I can't refund my pre order because I've done one before. Thanks Microsoft!
Should have just got gamepass, moron
I have gamepass i got the premium upgrade
I thought we hated IGN and their reviews.
honestly right now its reasonable score, game has problems, and is punching way above its weight, its obvious engine cant do true space travel/landing/full planet things but they are still trying to do it, its also really generic plotline but i guess its better than Fallout 4 that barely has a plot, realism is still better than dumbing down of Fallout to cater to children
I'm still gonna play it.
They gave Diablo 4 a 9.
So starfield must be absolute dumpster trash garbage.
test
>"game is good, this is a snoy psyop!" said the xbox fan
How dare sony do this to Todd...!
Is 7 the embodiment of mid?
7 is the equivalent of "don't buy, wait for sale" in review terms
anything lower is basically a "do not buy" nowadays where that should honestly be reserved for 2-3s with 0-1s being games with so much jank its unplayable literally and not subjectively
in a world where all the major titles get 9s-10s and anything lower is devastating from a marketing perspective
this was written in 1995
>7 is mid game
>8 is ok game
>9 is great game
>10 is near perfection (no thing can be perfect so its like getting close to absolute zero)
in current year, 7 is pretty much the lowest score big journos are allowed to give to AAA games
>in current year
In current year the 9.2 - 10 part of the scale should be dark red "bad" again
because that is filled with paid reviews and shallow goyslop with good presentation that you play for 2 hours and then refund
Death Stranding got a 6. Nuff said
In what world would an 8.5 be considered a shockingly low score that was only given to drive traffic?
In a world where every bad game gets a 10, getting less than a 9 its a red flag
IGN US is the only IGN that gives starfield 7/10, other IGN gives starfield a 8-10 score. Weird lel
This is unironically true and IGN already admitted it.
yeah, that's truly effed up fr fr on g no cap
Its really just Fallout 4 in space with worse performance and from what I have seen on these vids even less things to do, hell why the frick are you making a space game and limit yourself to only fricking humans when your most profitable franchise has 9 and could even use more?!!!
Why did they give Forza and Halo a 10 and a 9 then?
Let's just be honest, if Starfield were a PS5 exclusive it'd be getting 9s and 10s across the board.
and thats a good thing.
ACG's rating is the most trustworthy.
we tried to tell Todd that nobody asked him to create a new IP or to try to take over the sci-fi vidya space. we tried to tell this man to put that time and effort into TES6 or New Vegas 2. but he wouldn't listen.
f
I'm just baffled at his ramblings about how he's wanted to make this type of game for decades and NOW is the time the technology allows for it... Todd wanted to make Fallout 3 (Oblivion with guns) with an aerial combat minigame all long? it wasn't possible on 7th or 8th gen??? wtf is he smoking? there were plenty of open world games with flight on those consoles.
I suspect it's really that Bethesda employees were sick of the same two tired settings (especially the generic fantasy movie trope collection that is Elder Scrolls, visually speaking) and giving them this project as an act of compassion. same template, different coat of paint.
>I'm just baffled at his ramblings about how he's wanted to make this type of game for decades
I agree. if this was really the passion project he said it was, they wouldn't have so many embarrassing cut corners in the final product
because Todd is the master of the lie. He wasn't technically lying at all. This is the game he wanted to make, its like one of those old space sims just with better graphics.
>AAA corporate product from a company well-known for cutting corners can't possibly be middling time-wasting garbage
>there has to be a conspiracy around here
>i'm just asking questions bro
>XboxEra co-founder
huh?
Why does this guy's opinion matter?
I don't care PS5 is still a pile of shit lol I didn't buy an Xbox for Bethshit
from what I gather watching a few review videos. the main story is good but the exploration is very bland and generic. probably something I'll play through once and come back to once they add/fix stuff
SONY ALWAYS WINS BABY
>its a conspiracy
no it's just bethesda
If this ends up nuking some review outlets, most people would consider it a win.
Oh no no no no
Why would you need a perk to do stealth? That's lame.
Seems fair enough, stealth archer has been broken in every single Bethesda game ever because everyone can do it regardless of your build.
Why should you be able to stealth without taking any stealth talents.
>gets an actual rpg for once
>still complains
You usually don't need any investment to unlock sneaking as an ability, that usually has more to do with being good at it.
You can still sneak very badly and without the spot meter without the perk.
what's worse bethesda shills or nintendo shills?
game journos and simps
In terms of moronation
Game journalists > Nintendo shills > > > Everything else
I’d say RPG purists are the worst. There’s more literal “role playing” in Bethesda games (especially with mods) than there are in the beloved RPGs by FromSoft. I’ll never understand how anyone can find desolate open worlds with minimal lore, other than obscure ramblings from NPCs and scribblings, to be more immersive than Bethesda RPGs.
No one genuinely considers Souls games RPGs in anything but arbitrary name only. Bethesda games are shit RPGs-cum-normie shooters where the combat blows and is sandwiched between looting pots and pans (why?) and clicking speech checks. FromSoft's games are a million times more immersive simply by virtue of the voice acting not being embarrassing, and the NPCs not being constantly fused into the world geometry.
>Still has loading screens for buildings in 2023.
For how shitty Cyberpunk 2077 was, atleast even that game didn't have loading screens for all the gigs/buildings you could waltz into.
You shills are going to shit your pants once the reviews from bethesda blacklisted journos come
So if am getting the facts straight
the 4 morons who gave a low score are
2 morons who couldn't know the basic of how rpg skills work, even the basic of stealth perks.
A moronic czech who hates any game that isn't PS5 GoW, and 1 fricking kraut who is a well known moron in germany who is on sony's payroll.
Is that it producer?
Yeah, unfortunately due to how metacritic works (bigger site = more weight) they were able to tank the score of a mostly 9-10/10 game
Review aggregator websites has to die.
God you are so completely delusional
You're going to buy the game and cope telling yourself actually its super amazing as you bore yourself to death with it
and 3 years from now you'll have never even touched it again
the only aggressive Black person here is you
How are these shit journos any different from shills who review for XboxEra, XboxAddict and so on? Because its a game you hoped to be masterpiece?
Why is your anus bleeding so hard?
>two different sides of the same shit covered coin
habbeding
7 isnt a bad score
The same reviewer gave Mass Effect Andromeda a 7.7. It absolutely is a bad score by IGN standards, they just gave Immortals of Aveum an 8/10.
Idiots who do not use the entire metric from 0 to 10 deserve to burn in hell. Absolute cringetoid behavior to give 7 and call it bad. IT IS ABOVE AVERAGE. YOU WANT BAD SCORE, YOU MUST GO BELOW 5.
Stupid fricks.
I don't disagree, it's just entirely inconsistent with their previous scores. The same reviewer also gave Fallout 4 a 9.5 years ago, and even said it had a strong story. It's like they suddenly decided to go hard on Starfield.
Game reviews rarely go below a 5/10, which is why 7/10 became a byword for mediocre.
xbox sells less than the switch and ps5
how much further down can a brand go
> BGS cherrypicks the reviews and exclude a frickton of reviewers from the early copies
> Still gets fricked by the bigger outlets
This was legit pathetic
>BGS cherrypicks the reviews and exclude a frickton of reviewers from the early copies
noooooooo not my britbong reviewers!! ahhhhhhhh save CMA!
The cope is so fricking hilarious. You have lost Fromdrones
Early access starfield costs a lot for something im not too thrilled for. Im playing skyrim right now and im realising that starfield is going to be the same but with more features. I am willing to be shilled to though if anyone has tales of interesting mechanics to share.
>starfield is going to be the same but with more features
>more features
anon.....
I don't get it, all they had to do was make fallout in space. How'd they frick it up so hard? Even borderlands managed to make a game with space travel, and they're moronic!
PAID
REVIEW
The funniest part is people trying to find his other reviews and saying he gave blah blah a 9, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Why don't they check the people who gave the game a 10 to see if their reviews are credible too?
You think this isn't credible homie?
shameless
been playing for the last few hours. id rather be playing fallout 4. traveling to different planets is just a chore and not fun. Just give me a open map and thats it. frick this whole traveling to different system and planets stuff.
Remember when the first gameplay footage was released and it looked terrible?
>starfield planets will be handcrafted, they won't be procedurally generated emptiness like no man's sky
holy shit
>14 minutes to the edge of the area! That's crazy!
What's more crazy is it looks like there was frick all to do in that time it took them to get there
>people mad outlets give out 8-10 for almost all titles that release with a significant budget and marketing teams
>people mad outlets give lower scores for title with significant budget and marketing teams
maybe just don't listen to them and try watching some gameplay with no commentary and figure out if it's for you or not, even borrow it if you're still not sure. Stop relying on these people to tell you what to think when they only play maybe 4-5 hours of it anyway, not even mentioning those cuphead and doom journalist gameplay recordings, do not trust them.
this game is way worse than a seven, i really doubt it "gets good" after twenty hours. just a complete failure of game design with no hdr support in 2023
Never doubt the combination of sunk cost and Stockholm syndrome that Bethesda fans are capable of
Installed it, spent forty minutes in the character creator fighting the Black person/fat sliders to create Dick Cheney, ran around the starting area punching people (who all failed to react appropriately, given my apparent madness after contacting an alien artifact), noticed all of the dialog options are fake and just cause the NPCs to correct you and then proceed with the story on rails, refunded
10/10 no walls
You legitimately made a great character though. Looks sick.
thanks anon, i really wanted to capture his majestic wideness and steely glare
Gamespot too
Gamespot reviewer is the homosexual who called TLOU2 the game of the decade for being progressive, and shilled Horizon 2.
>Gunplay looks as pedestrian and lifeless as one could physically imagine it being
>Enemies in literally 100% of encounters shown off have almost zero situational AI and literally just run forward into the player or stand completely still behind whatever "cover" their model was placed behind
>Planets are full to the brim with actual copypasted bases, fauna, flora, and periodically even the actual loot in chests are repeated in the copypasted environments
>Literally not one feature of the game seems to be explored with any depth beyond shipbuilding
>Base building is prohibitively resource-intensive insofar as they want you to not have enough time to reach the ceiling before the review window is over
>Glitches that go all the way back to Oblivion have already been found in numerous review copies
>Performance factually has been shown to be abysmal and optimization literally winds up ignored in favor of gwafix
How is this game supposed to be a 10/10?
It looks pretty fricking boring tbh
Hyped game =/= great game.
