Not surprised about the score, but I'm surprised to see IGN from all sites having the courage to call it as they see it.

Why are you not surprised? I mean the average is 87 on meta and the majority scores it at 8, 9, or 10; so if anything the 7 is an outstanding score...

(Not to mention IGN Japan gave the game 10 out of 10, the dude at IGN is a space simulator fan, not the best person to review an RPG...)

I'm curious as to why you were not surprised and even seemed to expect it. Also, saying that IGN from all sites has the courage to call it, implies that other sites should have gone lower than 8, 9, or 10 too in your opinion, care to elaborate?

Mostly I believe review scores tend to be super inflated.. from all the games I have played I think I would count with one hand the ones that I would grant a 95+, let alone throw around 10's like these companies do. Also, most  major publications like IGN seems super corrupted to me, and the smaller ones always seems to be scared of looking "not cool" by not giving high scores to hyped games ( or maybe they are scared of not getting review copies anymore )

From the Bethesda games I have played the best ones were Skyrim (would have been an 85 - 90 at most for me) and Fallout 4 (around 80 for me). 

Additionally the first couple months always seems to be a bugfest for most games, and yet for some weird reason reviewers tend to ignore that. Not sure if that's the case with starfield, just talking in general about game releases nowadays

None of this is really xbox / bethesda / starfield specific btw.
