Starfield, is it getting review bombed? - eviltoast

Seems kind of like the game is just suffering from reactionaries, but I definitely don’t put that much stock in critic reviews these days either.

    To me it was a disaster because I expected it to be way more next gen after all these years. And it was very expensive compared to the quality I got.
    Meanwhile my friend was all like “Eh, it’s fine. Pretty much what I expected.”
    So I think people had very different expectations.

    What I absolutely cannot comprehend is those who say “10/10, game of the century!”
    Come on… No way. If you really think that, you have really low standards or haven’t played a new game in 8 years.

      It is “next generation”:

      • It’s the next generation of huge.
      • It’s also the next generation of empty.
      • It’s the next generation of pretty.
      • It’s also the next generation of soulless.

      I mean, it basically heightens all previous design parameters for open world games, does it not?

        It is absolutely NOT the next generation of “pretty”. Can’t even sign up for the qualifiers for that competition.
