This is so weird. They keep bitching it, calling a copycat of no  man sky, or even better that the scan thingy has been stolen from no man sky lol when this was in so many games before that.

They are def. on a campaign for some reason...



Yeah pcgamer looking like they’re gonna be giving StarF a low ass score.. did they hire Kotaku “writers” or something.



Ride The Chariot || Games Complete ‘24 Edition

GamesRadar+ was on a daily Starfield hate story on a near daily basis as well lol. I wonder if the writer got hired by PC Gamer

On a different topic: Seems like the guys at PC Gamer have already decided what score they will give to Starfield. At this point I will be REALLY surprised if either them, Game Rant, or Metro.uk give this game anything higher than 70.

"They achieved what they wanted. The fact that you posted this here will only drive more people to their website, social media pages etc."

Be better Xbots. We've patiently waited this long into the generation, we can surely go less than two months without getting outraged before we can actually play the game.

PCGamer and GR+ really trying to take $70 out my pocket! Never seen a game get so much hate before release.



If you're still planning to do a poll for Japan franchises not on Xbox I forgot to mention 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. Any Vanillaware games would be great.

Fun fact: I already knew that the article had already been taken down by the time I saw the tweet because I saw it in the comments. That's why I posted it here.

Besides, when was the last time that you were able to click on a link on an image?

It's not just about clicking on a link (which I never mentioned). The fact you not only brought attention to them but also two other sources creates discussion and helps drive up all their traffic, ultimately justifying their clickbait tactics.

Many sites simply don't mind being associated with hyperbollic garbage if it can drive up their raw numbers.

I know Diablo has been out for over a month now (probably be close to two by the time any ABK games start hitting Game Pass) but it could provide some good Game Pass growth I think (not like the game is a year old or something yet). Then Starfield in September as well.

I'm thinking they'll extend anyway, now that FTC took the L Microsoft shouldn't feel any rush to close, can't really think of any immediate concern as to why they need to close, whether they close in July or August, the FTC can't stop them now. Unless CMA have given them permission to close worldwide, I wouldn't risk it if I was in Microsoft's permission, things are going good with the CMA now, just wrap that up, it'll take a few weeks at most.

Sadly I don't trust the CMA nor Bobby. Personally wouldn't risk waiting on either to do something stupid to screw something up. But that's just the feeling I get. Guess we'll know by Tuesday if MS is going to close or not.
