God damn the game is so good I don’t want to stop playing! I’m literally going to bed immediately looking forward to playing again xD
Congratulations to team Xbox and Bethesda.
My mate mentioned to me the game had an review embargo until the day of release (the $100 release... hope that shit stops right away) and as a movie buff he said it's funny as if a movie does that it usually means it's terrible. This certainly isn't. It seems well received and is your good Bethesda RPG , story and exploration and all, which we all know have great lasting power.
It varies from publisher to publisher. In Bethesda’s case, they publicly decreed that review embargo’s would drop the day of a games release in like 2015 I think. So the fact they gave reviewers 2 weeks to play Starfield and lift the embargo nearly a week before the games official launch is actually a massive improvement for Bethesda.
Really makes you question IGN's 7
Calm down lol Why are you so upset….
The 7 from IGN is a fair question, as it has actual implications.
All your BS about not enjoying the game or caring about the 7 to make choices is up to you, he never said anything about that.if anything you seem to be one highly affected by even talking about those scores :)
Whoever gives this game a 9 or a 10 is a blatant fanboy. The game is very good at best.
Okay thank you for your very objective argument. Makes a lot of sense and backed up by good points.
im no fanboy, this game is amazing 9-10 for sure
