They admit right in that conversation that their scores and criticisms are affected by the communities reactions.

Thread even more embarrassing after the sales.. They thought the real world was like them :russ:

The real world is PS5 is #1 in NPD for dollars and units moved while Xbox had single digit growth.

Meanwhile in Europe.



-35% for Series X :mjlol:

I mean the Switch makes sense since nearly everyone who wants one has it, but how the fukk do you sell 35% less when your game of the generation comes out while your competition that's already massively ahead has no games and sells 175% more?

This isn’t true at all. Yes the general gameplay loop is the same. But there’s a lot more to mess around with in this game than their previous games. And the universe simulation stuff is really impressive and something that hasn’t been done in a game before. The combat is very much upgraded over previous games as well.

No dev is really reinventing the wheel. It’s all iterative. Mario been iterative for 30 years and people are still happy to play it and rate it high despite it being the “same stuff”
Kinda like SpiderMan 2?

Or is that different?

:sas2:

Sure. Spider-man is particularly egregious in this context, you are literally in the same city.

But yeah, “more of the same” is usually an empty criticism that people only bring up when they are looking to downplay a game. :ehh:

I like how xbots like meach are trying to walk back their comments about Spider-Man 2 like they weren't calling it Same-Man 2 just yesterday.

This is why you don't take trolls seriously, folks. :francis:

I've played Skyrim and Fallout 4, so I know what I'm talking about.

No, the animations are the same. The movement and walking the same. The load screens are everywhere. The guns handle the same. The Civilian NPC and enemies act and react the same. The facial animations are trash. They literally did nothing but improve graphics and some physics. It plays exactly like Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout 4. Hell, we can go all the way back to new Vegas.

Bethesda has not evolved at all in anyway.


It's ok for Mario to be the same, it's a simple pick up and play game. But Starfield should be on an entire different playing area.
