88/100 Metascore based on 50 reviews

[gordo]

How is this a flop?

[suzukimatsui]

It's not the holy grail that the mass fanboys hyped it up to be

[atalante]

But ... but ... IGN? ^^

Never expected a holy grail, in fact it is averaging HIGHER than I expected it to.

[Valdarin]

It's not so far.

[Tomatokek]

WAIT I THOUGHT IT WAS BADD??? SONY PONIES LIED?

[venn]

It wouldn't be a flop if it was a movie

AAA games are held to a different standard - meaning, game journos are amateur ignorants who'd do real journalism if they could, doling out 10s to any piece of crap with enough advertising money thrown at them.

when did a single game live up to the hype. I haven't witnessed it once ever since I started playing on the ps3.

Yeah that’s what makes this whole thing funny. If they just acted normal instead of pretending Starfield is game of the decade the “trolls” wouldn’t be having a field day right now. They only have themselves to blame

Nowhere have I seen or read anything about this game being the holy grail, just a made up lie coming from you.

did they act like that? can you provide any examples for it? the worst thing I heard is that they were expecting the same thing and that it will deliver in that regard

I'd wait for the user reviews.

Critic reviews, are mostly shill, or have some ulterior interest. Most hardly play the game for more than a few hours.

I think 88 is very, very generous.

As ACG said, "I'm going to be playing this for a long time."

[Swift-Li]

I rated 88% on my post last night. Dead on! :D

Good game for people that like BGS games.
Removing every 10/10 rating from Metacritic would help to get a more realistic view tho (imho) - most of those are obscure blogs (?) or whatever.

I dont exactly liked Fallout4 vanilla (or Skyrim), so I can just chill and play CP2077 expansion, finish NG+ and ++ in Armoured Core 6, wrap up Blasphemous 2 just to be ready to start BG 3 around christmas...

that because you had an already low preset expectation, just like the fanboys had a high preset expectation.

in this life we manifest what we believe. Not woo woo. Actually scientifically proven.
