What a terrible way to start a review, by dismissing the opinions of those that didn't enjoy the game. A lot of the flak makes perfect sense if you're just willing to acept that people can and do have different opinions. Just for the record, I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and I did too, almost through the entire game, but there is certainly room for a lot of valid critique, which is evidently somewhat divisive. I agree about a lot of the critique the game has got, but it didn't hurt my experience too badly for dozens of hours - but I have little trouble seeing how it could ruin the entire game for a lot of people. I saw the people initially receive the game well on Steam, only for the reception to turn quite sour after the people got to spend more time with the game. Personally I couldn't recommend the game in good conscience to anyone without knowing their taste really well, because the game has a fairly high chance of disappointing unless you know what you're getting into. For a game I got for "free" with my new CPU, I'm quite happy, but I'm also really happy I didn't have to (explicitly) pay for it (not that I would have, because I knew long in advance that the setting simply doesn't interest me that much, but I digress). |
People are entitled to their opinions, but I don't agree with them which is my personal take on it. Everything written about the game seems way too extreme. No where am i calling Starfield a 10/10 game but some of the complaints mentioned in alot of the media reviews did not affect my time with the game. |
I don't feel like it's very fruitful to argue about opinions. For example, the frequency of loading is a common complaint. It bothers me too, but it doesn't ruin the game for me. But I don't have a need to dismiss opinions that state that loading ruins the game, because the game has so much loading that it doesn't seem too far-fetched that for some, it might kill one of the greatest things about Bethesda games (the sense of exploration). The same goes for a lot of the critique I've seen: It hurts the experience for me, but I have little trouble admitting that some people might not take it as well as I do. I haven't personally seen many unreasonable opinions that might stem e.g. from exclusivity, it's all just people disappointed they didn't get the Bethesda game they expected and wanted.
