Do You Expect Wildy Different Review Scores Once Embargo Lifts On Starfield?

[bogey_j]

I'm expecting everything from 10/10 to 4/10. I think it's going to be a "Death Stranding" situtaion all over again when the gaming media can't come to a clear consensus on the game so we'll see wildy varying scores. I honestly love those types of games that divide opinions like that; it's boring to me when all everyone universally praises something as a 10/10 masterpice or the opposite when they all dogpile on a game and make it out to be the worst thing ever (Fallout 76 for example).
I think Starfield will be one of those rare games where the gaming media will be heavily divided and I think it will create a lot of interesting discussion on the game

80s but Death Stranding is a great comparison.

 

[Koba St]

Nah I’m expecting 80s type. Don’t think it’ll be Elden ring type scores or Redfall type scores

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Gonna be mostly 8-10s with a few controversy for clicks lowball scores

 

[winb83]

I think it will get an 87 overall.

 

[Luke Cage]

To me this will either be a 10/10 or a cyberpunk 2099 release day disaster.

Naw i honestly feel like it might just be a high 80’s type game. It’’s gonna get a lot of 10’s and some 7’s and 6’s from people that really aint feeling the formula.

There are more people playing games now than when skyrim and even fallout 4 came out so theres gonna be more diverse opinions from people that didn’t like the last couple of games.

 

[Leasy]

Expecting all low scores to come from PSThots

 

[old pig]

not from critics…definitely from “user” reviews tho

I’m expecting the MC overall critic review score to be between 88 and 93

Looks like OP landed on a procedurally generated gas giant made of pure copium

Ruh roh!

 

[Canon]

I’m guessing it will fall in the 85-90 metacritic

I feel like the formula is probably going to be felt by most people if it works as it has been advertised so far. but thats the thing, people are expecting an Open world game, thats literally open galaxy. invisible walls and walking on water, and stuff like that i've seen so far, might disappoint if its too limiting towards that end.

It will depend more on the role playing/choices/story/builds, etc. than i think it will depend on the exploration and stuff.

Exploration is always overstated by developers

If a game is good enough and media likes them, they are willing to ignore the smaller details they would criticize others on. Starfield will have its common issues but it looks like a good game and people want it to succeed. I think it will do well in reviews. I don't see it getting any low scores at all.

 

[Fatboi1]

I'm giving it a 0 on Steam as soon as user reviews are enabled.
