God of War creator and Twisted Metal co-creator David Jaffe via Twitter says Starfield is one of his top three games of all time.
"I'm console agnostic, y'all know that," said Jaffe. "A great game is a great game. I say this because if you love games as well and don't have an Xbox, you owe it to yourself to get Game Pass for a month and try out Starfield (even if just using cloud). It is easily one of my top 3 games of all time."
He said not to let "childish console 'war' nonsense" get in the way of playing a "brilliant" game.
"Now your millage will vary of course, but if in the past you've found yourself realizing your taste and mine is similar enough, don't let this childish console 'war' nonsense keep you away from this brilliant thing. If you love 1p action adventures, you owe it to yourself."
Starfield is now available for the Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Xbox Game Pass.

That the same guy who couldn't get passed a certain room in Metroid Dread and said it was bad game design? Good for him.
David Jaffe is the epitome of a has-been, I have no idea how he has remained somewhat relevant, nowadays he appeals to the lowest common dominator so I guess that crowd is fairly sizeable.
He's a higher tier DSP. Which is still not saying much.
I actually don't mind his youtube streams,. There's a lot of laught to be had, and he isn't as dumb as some posts make him out to be
Jaffes just a contrarian charlatan hermit these days. Most of his vids are Digs or constant nit picks at Sony. Carrying baggage around with him!
If you bothered listining to him, he is actually bagging out microsoft a lot for not being good at first party games
He could not figure his way out of a room in Dread and called it a bad game. Pretty much said ToTK sucked. Used AI to generate "realistic" Zelda and "fixed" the game. Take everything he says with a grain of salt.
Oh he's the guy who couldn't get out of the room in Dread and said it was bad cuz of that? haha i remember that. And he said TotK sucks? Wow. So it seems he's console agnostic except Nintendo lol badmouthing two of the best games of the generation just cuz they are on Nintendo... Definitely can't take this guy seriously.
Jaffe have been behaving like a total moron for more than a couple years. Not sure why it is note worthy.
You are right he hasn't been relevant in years , but it's his status of being the creator of Twisted Metal and God Of War, so that history along with, if shock jocks have taught us anything, his constant swearing angry man personality is perfectly suited to producing click baiting media fodder.
That is for sure, he was important for the industry and I agree with you that the silliness he post every so often makes for good baiting articles.
That’s worth reporting… why?
Well you seem to believe that it is worth commenting :) Why not report on it, who tells what is worth or not? You?
Is the site going to spam the article section with hot takes from industry personalities every time they fart one? Or is it special because it’s Jaffe and Starfield especially?
Poor thing. He just wants to be different.
2 favorite games this year are Jedi Survivor and Starfield. I think his point is it depends on your taste, but for my taste, these are the best combat and sci fi games we've had in a long time. I started off playing Jedi Fallen Order this year so I've beaten 3 big sci fi games this year. Hopefully we get at least Fallen Order on Switch 2. Survivor is a bit of a tall order.
Who cares what this idiot says?
It is easily Bethesda's best game to date.
Easily? Lol
Very much so. Best main story, side quests, universe, combat, graphical assets, companions and exploration they've ever done. Also worth noting its their release with the least amount of bugs.
Looking for a job, Jaffe?
Can't trust this guy....but like, is this game matching the hype or not? I've seen the internet both say its amazing and its alright and has serious flaws. Since its a brand new game I don't know who to believe.
All I can give you is my personal opinion. Yes, it absolutely lives up to the hype. Is it perfect? No, it has it's issues, but like most Bethesda games before it, it's so enjoyable that you are willing to overlook those issues, making them seem like tiny nitpicks in comparison to how good the game is.
Definitely Bethesda's best game.
Seems like on Steam it is hovering about 75% score and metacritic 85. So it doesn't match the hype but is still a great game.
In all seriousness, I am kind of bummed out for the people who are Xbox-only. It seems like every time there is an anticipated Xbox exclusive, it somehow falls short or implodes entirely. Xbox gamers deserve better.
I don't yet know if it will make my top 3 games of all time, but so far it is my Game of the Year (still need to play Baldur's Gate 3 when it lands on Xbox so that may surpass it), and it definitely seems like it will land somewhere in my top 10 games of all-time, possibly top 5 if the main and faction storylines are good enough (I've barely touched them so far, mainly been doing side quests).
GOTY for sure.
No disrespect, but having watched some stuff he has been in, he constantly panders to the MS fan base. If this is his true opinion then he has only started playing games as a hobby.
That's like not true at all. He doesn't pander to any base.

It's not the best idea to say you've seen "some" of his stuff and then assert he's "constantly" pandering to MS. He's taken the piss out on Phil Spencer on a few occasions - especially their early 9th-gen output. It's more applicable to take aim at his personal tastes overall than alleged fanboying over MS.
It is a game with many irritations, all being fixed by modders. Got DLSS2, got a new inventory. Can't wait until I can pick up credits and open more stuff while my scanner is open.
