Someone posted a review earlier:

Positives:

• Overall excellent graphics
• Excellent overall animations
• Inspiring and exciting story
• gunplay ok

Negatives:

• many loadings
• bad facial expressions
• The RPG part he found weak(?)

This guy didn't show any of his own footage. Was that because of NDA?

Okay gunplay is considered positive now.

He gave it a 8.5

I'm not sure if the same guy...
But a Brazilian's journalist that is reviewing the game predicted the final meta to be 82 after play the game.
When posted in american places people started to say Brazilians have bias against Xbox

 

[anonpuffs]

When's then embargo?

WOW Bethesda is working fast...

Vimeo has removed or disabled access to the video Starfield vazou review do DAVA JONAS!!! as a result of a third-party notification by Bethesda Softworks that claims this material is infringing on their copyright.

Edit.

Well another link... probably a lot of people have an archived copy lol

BTW he says the story is really good and the quest lines good but the game has a lot of flaws (Bethesda copyright).

Considering the dumpster fire that was Redfall you would think that Xbox fans would be humbled that the next Xbox Bethesda exclusive game hits a 82, but then again who am I kidding it Xbox fans we're talking here.

- Bad AI;
- Bad face models and facial expressions (expected, to be fair);
- Low enemy variety;
- Loading screens everywhere;
- Bad ship combat;
- Empty open world with little incentive to explore (which is very surprising for a Bethesda game, IF true)
- Poor navigation indicators, lack of introduction to many systems;

well, that doesn’t sound very good

I guess you guys are focusing too much in media bias.

Oblivion and Skyrim received avg. 94 even with zillions of bugs because it shows what Bethesda do better.
They are really exceptional at story writing and world building.

I don't thing it will be different with Starfield.

You know Fallout 4 got an 88 right?

 

[Petekilla]

She is not and never has been a PlayStation Dev.
She lied saying she was working as writer in Ragnarok but her name was never show in the credits as writer or anything else.

She could be working on Cory’s new IP.

It will definitely not be an 82. lol

Is that not right? I mean after New Vegas the quality of Fallout decreased.

12PM Tomorrow.

On PS4 though. Average score is 86 across three platforms, lowest at 84 on pc. Userscore, even more indicative, averages to 6.4. Fallout New Vegas averages to 83, userscore average to 8.7. FNV far superior to FO4, so media bias is on display even if it scored lower in general. Userscore is what should be most worrying if Starfield is just reskinned FO4 because most people less favourable to the changes in that game.

 

[Johnic]

Good graphics and animations? What the hell was thar guy playing? Getting money from MS, the game?

 

[historia]

85-88 and you will see blood on the street, they want Sony's exclusive level of score.

Pretty much what you could see or infer from the naked eye.

Progress on enemy AI and companion AI industry wise has been slow since the PS3 era but there has been progress. A flagship AAA is gonna stand out if you have poor AI. Then there is the presentation aspect. Again, flagship AAA titles have different standards (except Nintendo of course - different scale all together).

That's another review removed? What's the score?

Meta user scores arent good a measure. You can easily review bomb them on Meta. User scores on Steam is better because you have to own the game to review it. Fallout NV is a 96 on steam. NV has a low meta score because it was buggy on launch.

Bumping this all the way to the top since the game is about to release for some
