Seems kind of like the game is just suffering from reactionaries with but definitely don’t put that much stock in critic reviews these days either.
I would guess that any platform-exclusive game is going to have some level of that, just because you've got Team Platform A and Team Platform B. And Starfield was purchased by Microsoft specifically to have an X-Box (well, and PC) exclusive, so...
Go back to the 1980s, and it was "Mario sucks" or "Sonic sucks".
Both Sonic and Mario sucked. Alex Kidd rocked!
Nah, not serious. I, like everyone else, wanted a Nintendo.
I don’t think BG3 got review bombed, and that one is not available on Xbox.
It's apparently coming out shortly. The delay apparently wasn't because a platform vendor purchased it to be an exclusive, but because the dev team hit some kind of technical problems with the port.
When is the next Mass Effect coming out?
Not soon enough 😭 Probably won’t be what we want from it anyways, they’ll take all the worst parts of Andromeda and leave the good on the cutting room floor, somehow.
I fear you’re right, but as long as the franchise is alive there’s a chance they make it right some day.
Modders could make starfield in skyrim and imo it’d be a better game.
Doubt.
Someone took whelming and placed it above the game

I’m not review bombing it. I’m also not buying it. Bethesda screwed up with 76. That’s not forgivable. They can release a new game but that doesn’t forgive the scorn they inflicted to me and so many other players who paid good money to them and got consistently screwed ever.

I agree that 76 sucked. SF is pretty great though.

Screwed over? What promised stuff didn’t 76 deliver on?
For me it seemed like Bethesda wasn’t entirely sure what they wanted from 76, except that they wanted to create a multiplayer version of Fallout, and make money on micro-transactions. Todd tried to drag it in the PvP direction, which was ridiculous when its their first multiplayer and fallout haven’t exactly been known for being balanced. Someone internally dragged it in the coop PvE direction, someone else towards roleplaying and building. And after a backlash, they reacted by focusing on getting NPCs in and on PvE coop. And house building because that sold.
I liked the initial story personally. The changed story with NPCs became too disjointed from the world already built. And had no driving force in it. No reason to care except seeing one faction win.

I didn’t get my canvas bag with my preorder and the whiskey I ordered was a joke. It was just a regular bottle of whiskey in a plastic shell.
The whole point of the whiskey was for the bottle. Same for the preorder. I wanted the canvas bag. Not some cheap bullshit.
