Best and newest Bethesda game has such low score?

[ThatZenoGuy]

I don't understand how that can happen, did the game get hit by a review bomb or something? It's insulting to the hard work Bethesda has done to make this game, it took so long and there's just so much to do in the game.
Can someone explain please?

It's a bad game.

The game is just frustrating as a Bethesda game fan. It feels like a half baked passion project of a vague space IP Bethesda could make instead of something that has heart and spirit like their other IPs.

Plus without the memorable brand synergy of Elder Scrolls or Fallout, there's nothing to really latch onto as Starfield is if you have a Bethesda game and franchise without the spirit of creators that wanted to create the game, the world, the characters, the lore, anything........ Starfield is a raw bethesda game at its fullest and people just see the shortcomings at the seams.

Because said "hard work," never happened.

This game took 9 years to develop, and most of that time was spent tracking down Todd because he has final say on literally everything, and Beth has six studios all working under him, none of which have design documents for any of their projects.

At least that's what I've managed to piece together from all of the other threads on this board.

Try harder, troll. I just like Bethesda games. Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, and Skyrim.

if you like the other BGS game, you will like this one, it's a pure BGS game at heart.

Err newsflash you can like a game and yet it can be objectively a bad game I mean I like for instance dead island riptide yet it's objectively a bad game

If you like playing a game then it's a good game for you.
Also what you think does not matter at all, except for yourself.

The explanation is easy: the majority of player don't like the game as much as you do. You are part of a minority that finds this game good enough and that is ok, but for the rest of us it is not, simply because we have different standards and have already experienced much better mechanics and quality of content from other popular games.

Also, the score does not impact your game experience, it's just the feedback of the customers that feel disappointed with what Bethesda presented them.

Its bad. Many previous Bethesda games are an upgrade over it.

The game is littered with design flaws and is a woke virtue signaling mess. Those two elements spell trouble for any game or movie. Just look at Disney and their current state of collapse as more proof.

the Bethesda open world game is an acquired taste not for everyone, i understand why some (a lot) will flee, those of us that enjoy them put up with the quirks and bugs for the freedom to do what we want with the game and game play, they really are niche games for people that like to tinker as much as play,
side note : there's a amd beta driver 23.30.13.05 that has fluid motion frames (fmf) for 6 and 7 series cards, it works really good
here's a link
