Not really.

Square didn’t get this support.

FF16 is not a 1st party title and no one claimed it would be GOTG either.

Where is the equivalence?

The result of 87 isn’t really bad. But it will become worser for certainty when all this left out outlets will submit their reviews. 💀

A mid 80’s review for something everyone was so sure was the only game to give TOTK a run for GOTY. That many were relying to save xbox, for many was supposed to be GOTG that sony lost, etc.

Idk, seems just like an OK result for a lot of time and emotion invested

Fallout4 got 9s on most of the big sites, and I still constantly see people online say it was bad. I can't see the consensus on Starfield holding up better. To me the most damning part of the reviews just say the writing is bad. That's the main thing I'm looking for in Bethesda games.

We were told it was the biggest game of the generation. The RDR2 of the gen. It's not even game of the month. In 2 weeks nobody will talk about it and it won't win any GOTY.

As I said in another thread, Starfield had the biggest fake hype campaign I have ever seen.

Phil's keen stewardship will bring this masterpiece to 95+ meta 🤡

No, not really. a 88/87 is a VERY respectable result.

It just isn't at the level of "game of a generation" as some hoped for. Some fans wanted a "The Last of Us" quality game, and hoped for that kind of result. Well, they didn't get it.
No it flopped. Expectations vs result.

This was hyped as game of the gen, decade, year, best RPG ever. The turning point for Xbox as an entire brand

In the end it's a mid 80s game with jank, bugs galore, over promised lies and it will only fall further in score as the review sites specifically chosen not to be given review codes get added to the score

So, No Man’s Sky would scratch the space exploration itch better than this?

Is it even a "solid title"? Some of the reviews are stating some pretty bad issues IMO. Performance, gameplay issues, bugs, it's boring (remember when that dev said last year they were working to "find the fun?").

You play games to have fun. Is this actually fun?
Buy the game and find out.

Starfield is 1st party. 1st Party sites, reviews, and Just like the old magazines will always give more favourable reviews. Even without the shilling lol.

FF16 hate so much FUD and hate before it was released. It will be pretty hilarious that after all the efforts and 8 billion spent on Bethesda, that Starfield doesnt review much higher than FF16.
