Because it's 1 step forward, 2 steps backward. After 10 years after skyrim and a few after F4, there is nothing innovating about this game. (52)

What was innovative about skyrim or fallout 4? (-34)

The repetitive "puzzle" that is exactly the same each time you visit a temple is unforgivable. I genuinely can't believe that was signed off on. I've put 80 hours into this game and I've enjoyed it, but many aspects annoy me. I feel like the more of Starfield I play, the less I get out of it. (886)

still better than dragon claws (-31)

Standards have gone up and Bethesda is hardly innovating.Graphics are dated.Writing is mediocre.Companions by an extension of mediocre writing are bad.Exploration is unrewarding and repetitive.Enemy variety is incredibly small.UI is yet again trash.Game is not seamless, it's far too heavily instanced.Even conversations are still not seamless.Still can't look down and see your body.Starfield IS worse than Fallout 4 and Skyrim. People just swoon over it because it's the newest thing. This was their chance to do something new and they made a fricking procedural Fallout in space with Skyrim shouts. (65)

SF is a marked improvement over Fallout 4, and as a die-hard Fallout fan, I'll stand by that remark. Graphics are fine. Lighting is a bit fiddly on some of the moons and planets, but otherwise, the game looks pretty good.The writing is better than it has been since Oblivion. I'll give ya that enemy variety is lacking (especially if you don't explore the planets).Tbh looking down and seeing your body is not something that makes or breaks a game.I think people swoon over the older games due to nostalgia. I vividly remember playing each game from oblivion to current pretty much at launch. This is better in many aspects, and a step back in a few others. (-31)

BGS makes great games, so to say its the worst of those still isnt an insult— I mean SOMETHING has to be the worst, even in an elite group.Granted Starfield had the misfortune of a couple things1. It came out after BG3 which is just way better (again not an insult to SF, its just BG3 is seriously one of the best games ever) so people are going to subconsciously compare, to SF's misfortune It came out in a heavily politicized era. It leaned into the politsization (thats not a word but whatever) with the pronouns and very angry conservatives unfairly spammed with shit reviews because of it, again, much to SF's misfortune. The Marketing was too overzealous. The game that was advertised is different than the game we got; not by a WHOLE lot; but Todd Howard tried to make it sound like every planet would be near as populated as Oblivion— which is just computationally impossible Its the latest BGS game, which just plainly means it has the highest chance of giving g*mers fatigue on the BGS ...

The game hasn't been out long enough for the spam review bombing because this bad or that bad. It's been blown way out of proportion. I am not denying that the game industry has made many mistakes but I think we often take for granted the Games devs craft for us. And with all the negativity that people throw at them personally attacking them is horrible. I've seen a dev look so uncomfortable on stream cause she was an attractive female and the community was both upset at the games issues and being uhh gross. I felt so bad but I've seen so many other instances. I wouldn't be surprised if quite a few of them deal with mental health issues from the harassment I've seen.Edit: Everyone is just a negative Nancy and too many lash out which clearly doesn't and shouldn't be the way to show our displeasure. Not saying negative reviews are always bad. Just people love to hate train cause the world is miserable right now (1)

Don't be so naive. Sony was so salty about Starfield being exclusive to Xbox that they filed a complaint with the FTC which summoned Microsoft to appear and explain why it's exclusive. As if they haven't been doing the same thing for the last decade. Best believe there's legitimate review-bombing going on by Sony fans. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if Sony was responsible for some of it. People didn't even wait for the game to release before they started bombing the reviews. (15)

Sony is a corporation not a consumer. You're definitely smoking if you think Sony fans are gonna review bomb a game that's been nitpicked to fricking heck. From loading screens, to lack of agency to explore planets, the lack luster PoIs, the npcs, no classic bethesda style map, no actual travel form space into orbit and the ability to actually fly around the planet. This game has been dragged all over social media, the game itself wasn't going to be a stellar addition to bethesdas catalogue, this game is a strong 7.5 in my opinion and I'm loving the game. But even with that being said, the game does fall flat and I can say a 7 rating is honestly fair for it. If you were expecting skyrim in space, you're gonna be disappointed. If you're expecting fallout 4 in space, again, disappointed. Starfield is bethesda making an experimental space game.So even a lot of the reviews I can see why there are people giving it low scores. They had expectations that didn't meet.As far as Sony fans revi... (-5)
