Apparently this idiot is director of reviews at IGN. Beyond me where they find these people.

Seems pretty stupid to shit on a reviewer for the scores given in the past and his political opinions.
At least if you are going to call the review scores controversial, read through the reviews.

e.g. Prey was rated 5 because of its disastrous bugs and performance issues; Stapleton later updated it to an 8.

The reason why the, practically speaking, negative reviews for Starfield are suspect is because Bethesda has become a very fashionable target and is not accorded any 'cover' because they have failed to ingratiate themselves with the liberast journalists the way Larian has with all the depraved and insufferably 'on trend' current-year garbage in BG3.

Maybe Starfield is bad, but if the review scores for it are low that won't be why.

You sound like you gobble on Todd's cum for breakfast.

Bethesda makes vidya for the common man and not for liberast journos. :love:

Are you implying the only two companies with "liberal journalists" are IGN and GameSpot? Really?

Such a weird take.

Absolutely nailed it. It became fashionable to hate BGS around the time Witcher 3 dropped. And I'm talking about the general gaming public here, not Codex. You faggots hate everything including your own mother. CDPR became the industry darling until they faceplanted with Cyberpunk. Now Larian is the industry darling.

Exactly, the scores have nothing to do with the quality of the game. Only the degree to which it serves liberast interests. If Starfield were populated with the cast of BG3 and The Outer Worlds, they'd never dare to give it a score below 8.5. Bethesda are completely out of touch, which is their best quality now.
