Starfield has gone to 26% of reviews being negative on Steam, but is showing as 23% negative - if this continues it will drop to "Mixed" in 8-16 days. The more people play it the more they realize how hollow a game it is.
What the hell was this company "working on" for 7 years?
Or people could just be review bombing it. Wouldn't be the first game that got review bombed.
As I posted earlier someone gave it a 1 two or three months ago. Also people who have a PS5 are upset they can't play the game.
Just like BG3 had negative reviews only because it was beating Zelda:TOTK on metacritic.
So take metacritic with a grain of salt.
I'm not saying Starfield is a great game. It's OK. I'd probably give it a 7. I just don't look at metacritic numbers.
I mean, isn't it more than likely someone has written a review on metacritic without actually playing the game?
Well that's Steam not metacritic I was referring to above, and we looked at a cross section of reviews on metacritic and they were not review bombs - they were mostly given mid range scores, not 0's. Bethesduh claimed they were being bombed without evidence -if you are going to carry their water for them you should at least ask for a salary.
To me this is a fascinating deconstruction of how these companies use marketing dollars to tip the scales - and how effective that actually is.
