Yikes. I've got a bad feeling that Starfield is going to be facing an uphill battle of anti-Xbox critic bias from a fair few critics, Game Rant included. I mean seriously, this is just an embarrassing amount of negative Starfield articles, and from 5 different writers for Game Rant too.

PC Gamer is another one that's been popping off on Starfield for the past several months as well. 

What would've been a 95 or 96 meta score, is probably going to end up being a 90 or so.

Yeah, I've seen their Starfield hate articles as well, including one suggesting that Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws would be a better pick for sci-fi fans than Starfield. Imagine suggesting that an Ubisoft game would somehow be better than a Bethesda game. Bethesda has 3 overall Game of the Year wins (Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim) and one 2nd place finish (Fallout 4). By comparison the closest Ubisoft has ever came to an overall Game of the Year win was 3rd place for Far Cry 3, and the next closest after that were 5th place finishes for Assassin's Creed 2 and Far Cry 4, so no Ubisoft game since 2014 has even made it to the top 5 in the overall Game of the Year rankings, even though they release games yearly. I think I like Ubisoft games more than just about anyone else in Xbox Empire, and even I find simping for Star Wars Outlaws over Starfield ludicrous, I'm sure Star Wars Outlaws will be a fun game but GOTY contender material it almost certainly won't be, not with the way the 2024 release slate is shaping up.
