Starfield |OT| You're Finally Awake... In Space!

I went back to Fallout 4 to give it a chance and I will say that they added a lot of QoL stuff. I have faith that Starfield and TES6 will play significantly better than Skyrim.

Yeah, can’t have seen Xbox staying the good Guy even with a behemoth game like a new BGS IP, hellz naw. I don’t know how hard and how much of a hassle it is to get these kind of deals terminated, but for sure Phil would have seen the immense importance of Starfield not missing launch on Xbox. The kind of money they can spend is more than enough to get away from such a deal I’m sure.

Skyrim still plays well, I’m sure Starfield and TES6 will be leaps and bounds above that

95+ is pretty bold, it was a different time last gen.

High 80’s/low 90’s is my guess, it would have to be an absolute game changer to reach 95+.

Especially in the Far Harbor expansion.

Even if it gets an 80 MC score im sure we’ll all try the game anyways. Halo Infinite got a 87 and it turned out fine. A game doesn’t need to be 90+ to be called good.

This is my hottake for both Redfall and Starfield.

Redfall will review worse than Deathloop.

Starfield on par with Fallout 4 (mid-high 80s).

But fan reception will be significantly more positive than those two.

It will be Prey/Wolfenstein The New Order/New Vegas all over again. Those who play list wars will be disappointed. Those who love these devs and their games will be happy as a clam.

The safest most polished method isn’t always the right method, and Game Pass encourages wide scale risktaking. Enjoy it, and enjoy the games. :slight_smile:

By a couple of points maybe but Redfall will be magnitudes more successful + Deathloop will come to Xbox and Arkane is an Xbox studio so it doesn’t matter

Nope. This one has 90+ written all over it. Look how high Cyberpunk’s reviews are for how broken it is because it does something no or few other games do. Starfield is shaping up to be a dream game that we’ve been dreaming of having not just BGS, If it’s just relatively polished but delivers on its premise it will be a 90+ if not 95+ game.

We know its the first new IP from Bethesda in 2 decades and a next gen only title

That’s enough for me

Enough to be excited for sure, not enough to talk ratings lol

Yupp this is where I’m at. I don’t think there has ever been anything made on the scale that Starfield is being made or with the amount of depth and detail. This is game of the generation upcoming.

You’re being kinda lame and when you talk like that it makes all of us look bad. Just chill out a little bit and enjoy playing games.

I agree with Redfall scoring less than Deathloop but it won’t be by much. A few points at most. I disagree with Starfield. I’m expecting 95. This is where they get back their RPG crown after losing it to CDPR with The Witcher 3.

Risk taking is fine but im 100% expecting Starfield to be very polished with fluid and responsive gameplay. If it plays/controls like Fallout 4, game won’t last long for me. Starfield needs to be a showcase and showpiece. Visually, mechanically and technically.

I’m looking forward to playing Starfield because it looks cool and I like space and it won’t cost extra money to try.

I haven’t played Deathloop yet but I did watch many reviews, saw tons of praise but also a video review where some very bad issues where shown and the reviewer was baffled how the game scored that high with all the issues it had/has. The reviewer went over all that was wrong in the game and all that was good. Many of the things that were wrong were not covered by the bigger media outlets, not good.

And there have been other games in the past that I did play but got crazy high or low scores and that was baffling to me. While of course I still like to see high numbers from all these sites I find it increasingly harder to take them serious.

I reckon we will get a Super Bowl trailer for this. MS are going big.

BGS games never were and not expected to be that tbh. The mechanics should be better, the visuals will be nice for sure; Skyrim still looks nice to this day, and technology is relative to the size and scope of the game. If you expect Starfield to looks as impressive, polished, animated as Horizon FW for example, you’re expecting wrong, I’m sorry.
