Nah. There are good reasons to love and hate the game.
Comment on Starfield, is it getting review bombed?

It would seem so to me. When there’s a big disparity across the ratings - positive and negative are similar on metacritic with little in between - it raises a lot of red flag to me.

Not sure if it’s evidence of organized review bombing. but yeah, it seems like most people are just being as extreme as possible because they know it’s a scale of averages.

That seems like a standard reviewing to me. Now go look at The Last of Us Part 2, now that game is truly review bombed.

I dunno, TLoU2 definitely got it harder but there’s still that massive gap in middle range reviews (see image) that made me question it with Starfield.

It’s because it’s Metacritic, people only rate in 10s and 0s. Look at Baldurs Gate even. It’s 75/2/21 split.
Regardless, People diss on pro journal reviews, but user reviews are 100x worse, I have never relied on them except for Steam Reviews.

I dunno dude, I've heard a lot of people have legit complaints about the game, especially on PC.
helloharu@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Oh I know there are, I’m not saying otherwise.

Game optimization is very inconsitent. When I’m in a smaller space like a dungeon or the Constellation Lodge, it’s actually pretty great and runs smoothly. When I go into the city though, the framerate is terrible. The graphics also become significantly worse.

People also need to stop calling 40fps unplayable. They expect their 3050 to run every game at 120fps on Ultra.

It's reasonable to expect high framerates in 2023. If people want the game to run smooth, there's nothing wrong with that. Hell, doom eternal was a Bethesda game and it looked gorgeous and ran like butter, so we know they can pull it off.

Uh no. People are barely doing 30 fps in the lowest settings with this game
