I totally agree that there are a lot of garbage user reviews. Still doesn’t change the fact that Starfield has mixed reviews. There are Bethesda games that are positively rated. Cyberpunk had a much bigger hate campaign against it and still has very positive reviews.
There’s a reason the reviews for Starfield are the way they are now
You should look at the some of the games that have overwhelmingly positive reviews on steam. They are the ones that aren’t highly mediocre or bad.
Steam has a solid review system and steam tags reviews as refunded for people who refunded the game. Also shows their playtime. And people can vote and award reviews.
Xbox, however, does have a horribly broken joke of a review system.
2nd best game of this generation and it didn’t even crack a nomination for GOTY? Lmao. There’s debate over whether this was even the best xbox game this year
You are allowed to like it. But it’s a janky disjointed mess running on dated systems not able to handle the vision they had for the game. It’s an objectively mediocre game.
I don’t hate the game. I’m glad people are having fun. I’m just disappointed I can’t have fun, and people keep gaslighting me into thinking it’s a great game.
I will never deny starfield was a smashing financial success. But games like destiny 2 and cyberpunk were financial home runs too on release. It wasn’t until a few days/weeks passed that people realized they were bad games that needed a lot of work.
This is why the reviews for starfield are trending downwards. And why there are already more people still playing Skyrim than starfield on steam.
They just missed the mark and made a bad one. It’s not the end of the world.
Cyberpunk was a complete disaster on launch. It took them 3 years to finish the game after release. PlayStation issued refunds and pulled it from the store which is almost unheard of for them.
It was still a massive financial success. Marketing sells big games, not quality.
I love cyberpunk 2077 and I can still call it a horrible game on launch. Starfield isn’t horrible, just horribly mediocre.
Again I’m glad you had fun, I loved Too Human on Xbox 360. But it was an objectively terrible game. I still put hundreds of hours into it.
