IGN Review

[Chef]

Guys I'm really concerned. IGN gave Starfield a 7/10. I was really expecting a 9/10 - 10/10 and at worst 8/10. What happened here? I bought the game but found some of the recent conversations surrounding Starfield concerning. What happened? Should I ignore them? I love Bethesda games and want to support them as best as I can. Sincerely looking for feed back on state of the game, stance on reviews, refund possibilities.

devs probably forgot to send the USA IGN reviewer his paycheck in time

I'd say the PCGamer and IGN reviews are accurate after about 10 hours with the game.

Refund it. The game is very boring.

bruh, is a BETHESDA game, you all think this was going to be Baldurs Gate in space with Cyberpunk graphics and GTA levels of gameplay? pffft it is to its very root a bethesda game, fallout in space, for a better description.

i mean like its really up to you to believe what you want

[Mayo Boy]

If you bought it my only suggestion for you would be to count your hours and get a refund before you go over. If you enjoy the first 2 hours and believe you will get your money worth than by all means keep playing.

It's not even remotely Fallout in space, it's worse than those titles in many regards.

Starfield isn't awful, but it isn't great either.

It's the most accurate review I've read now that I'm close to 20 hours in.

The game is OK. It's functional and entertaining. I'm going to finish it. But it's not the experience that it was hyped up to be by any stretch. It feels like a mix of Skyrim and Fallout 4 with a sci-fi theme. Graphics feel last gen. Can tell it was in development for a long time.

To my complete amazement Starfield is not the usual Bethesda bug-infested shambles at launch. Optimisation for Nvidia GPU users isn't what it could be but so far (I'm 6 hours in) there have been no major bugs. Just my personal view but I'm enjoying both ship and fps combat. You can always play for 2 hours and request a refund if it isn't fun for you.

I'd recommend ignoring the likes of IGN, it's been years since they were of any relevance at all.

You think IGN is quality journalism? If anything IGN giving it a 7/10 means it's 10/10 GOTY.

The reviewer thought he bought No Man's Lego Builder: The Game

I mean they gave Diablo 4 a 9.

It isn't that enthralling either. It has it's moments, but those are dabbled about by long stretches of nothing in a sea of nothing.

[Yuritarted]

If you know bethesda games, you will know...perhaps with a bunch of updates and patches the game will be astonishing

[Perry]

honestly its either the game is good from the start or modders make it better
