I'll say this: if Starfield, according to Microsoft, is supposed to be a demonstration of the capabilities of Xbox hardware and a major system seller, also an indicator of the "quality" of their upcoming products, then I already know 100% that if I buy game console, it will be a Sony product. Without any doubt. Starfield is so backward and twisted that it is simply laughable. This is supposed to be an exclusive product? This... thing? Sorry, I have no intention in 2023 to mentally go back to 2010. This is ridiculous. Outdated game, outdated engine, outdated dev team, outdated CEO.

Outdated game, outdated engine, outdated dev team, outdated CEO. Let me start: I am owner of premium edition so I have been familiar with this production for a few days. First at all I will honestly state that I feel cheated out of $100. And just to be clear, I based my decision to buy not on hype or rumors, but on carefully following official information from the developer, publisher, including their CEOs. So I don't feel like a dumb ****, but like a person who was deliberately lied to. I want nothing to do with future products with the Microsoft and Bethesda logos. But about that in the summary at the end. I begin with technical aspects, because it is easer. In a nutshell: primitive port from consoles. Therefore, VRAM does not exceed 6 GB, and RAM oscillates around 6-8 GB (although on PC 24-32 GB today is not surprising). Hence the constant loading screens, even though the whole thing should sit in memory even though everything works in small instances. And I'm not even mentioning such technical nightmares as the lack of support for proper anti-aliasing in 2023, no DLSS, no Intel ARC GPU support or problems with textures not fully loading, exactly the same as in Forspoken. And that embarrassing performance even on extremely strong configurations with graphics dating back 7 years! How about AI of NPCs and enemies? What AI? What faces animations? What is it? A joke? The whole thing done as off-putting as possible. 3D engine is terrible, I mean terrible outdated and you feel it literally everywhere. Fatal engine, fatal port. And yet, these are only core technical issues, on top of that there is the content, and this content is as if from 2010-2013. It is unacceptable. This way of giving gameplay even comes from the 90's and has nothing to do with current standards. And this applies to the content as well as the form of its delivery, i.e. UI/UX. And it's hard to believe that this is a product released in the year 2023, there are such is the coarseness of everything, feel so cheap, so... lame. Use of Creation Engine while owning the rights to use the id Tech engine. This is lunacy! Now we move deeper, and you know what? No alien races, whole Galaxy is open, but there are NOT any other vivid civilizations. The narrative in this game is reminiscent of the work of a 15-year-old for a contest entitled "The story of the world. How I imagine life in 100 years". But, on the other hand, the entire Galaxy we've come to know is purely American: from the architecture, to the disgusting mass culture, to the customs. Where are the cultural differences between the different worlds? Hey, you creators of this carcass without imagination, do you really think that in the future everyone will live in the same cesspool as you today? This is not the 1980s! What is it I ask? WHAT IS IT?! It insults intelligence. Where is the plot? Where do choices matter? It is unbelievable how infantile everything is conveyed and would require an looong and deeep elaboration, but I just don't want to rummage through this rubbish, simply: this is total mess. This should be groundbreaking Crysis for the year 2023, not a horribly optimized, archaic product in form and content. This game is in much worse state them Cyberpunk on release because Cyberpunk at least had a good, modern 3D engine and a contemporary gameplay concept. This game should never have been released in this state - this is not an indie developer, but the largest software publisher in the world. You can see right through, Microsoft and Bethesda have real problem with internal management, because it is not first blunder this year. Maybe next year something will come of it, if MS does not abandon the project and rebuild this game from the ground up - and I write this completely seriously. For now it is unplayable. This product is a complete mess at this point, it's a beta version, and situations like this gives Microsoft a terrible reputation - again. Something really bad is going on there. Their recent actions resemble management at a market stall, not a multinational corporation. If Microsoft wants to stay in this market as a major player, needs to change something, because the Activision-Blizzard purchase won't help anything if you don't release good products. Of course, in the short term you can count on profits from an uninformed or undemanding customer, but this is a marathon, not a sprint. I am sure, that Starfield discredit will only confirms this. And looking at the above I would give a summary rating of 4/10, but in this case I in good conscience give 1/10. Why? Because, let me repeat myself, for months the developer and publisher in their official information simply gave outright lied about whether this product will be. So as owner of premium edition of this game let me summarize: I feel SCAMmed in very bad way which I write utterly honest. Almost everything from the official announcements and official statements turned out to be a lie. Enough is enough.

This is early beta state product based on 13 years old tech engine. Refunded. I hope there will be major personnel changes at Blizzard after the Microsoft takeover.

When I see all this 9/10 and 10/10 from accounts already created, with one game rated it make me laugh. EA, you are cheap clown.

This is bad game, with bad gameplay and not actual historical situations and reality. Boring plot, boring characters, boring dialogues. Terrible in game mechanic. And it is full of bugs: so many bugs, that I lost count. Right now I soft-locked game in II act (yes, I am sure) and this is the summary of this product.

Hamburger drama. So cliche, so stupid, so cardboard cut-out. Comparing this trash to Detroit Become Human is an insult to the latter. What a disappointment! Two positives: great voice acting and good artistic style.

The whole thing is disgusting. An incredibly primitive community is presented on the screen. Actors? Maybe from porn movies. The product looks like a primitive, mediocre "movies" for fans of trivial Netflix series and other cesspools. Awful.

OK, I know, this is orthodox game release but c’mon we are in 2021, not 2000. How is is possible to not include: * windows management, including current (for 2021) management for additional items like gems, runes * proper and logic scaling to actual display resolution * mercenary/companions management including remove NPC from our team without killing them * items filter on ground to show only normal/rare/epic etc * modern chat window * working lobby window, which do not looks like Windows 95 UI * personalized per person loot. They are basic UI/UX needs today in HnS. Again: basic. And this omnipresent bugs: from forum, via servers, to the game. Bugs are ubiquitous. I cannot write posts on my main account (I use second) because: “You must own Diablo II: Resurrected to post on this forum” - oh, really I do not have D2:R, oh really? And DO NOT tell me that this is only remaster, not remake - price is AAA game and only price define value of the product, not useless PR quotes. This is 2021, and you are one of biggest game dev on the world - how is it possible to release this kind of product in such condition?! This is an outrage. It was my last preorder, Blizzard. Never again.

***** update Feb 13, 2020 ***** They made patch 2.0. BIG changes. Now game is playable and this is one of best narrative cRPG (yes!) game I ever played - this mean since first Monkey Island. Of course sometimes it is blockbuster style or naive narration but still it is amazing storytelling with great actors, music and graphic. Must have! ***** old review from Dec 27, 2019 ***** First buy on EPIC, his "exclusive production" and I feel treated like a fool. PC port is on scandalous level. I's unbelievable to release something like that in 2019. This game has graphic quality like 10 years old and run worse then today AAA productions with huge open worlds. Unbelievable. BTW: camera controls are literally from productions from years 2005-2010. FOV, what is it - 50? 60? So again: unbelievable,

I love DS series - it is one of best series of the games ever. But Sakito is unplayable for me - sorry, but I do not have cyborg reflexes. And I do not care about it is hard, because must be hard and other bla-bla. I know what is hard game very well. It is something wrong with Sekiro: I saw good speed-runners who have real problems with this game, too. WTF From Software, whats wrong? It is poor, rushed developed action slasher! Refund. BTW: PC port is awful, simply terribly, eg. I have many fps, no delay on screen, but input lag is real and exist. How to beat this kind of game with input lag? Please, From Software, tell me how do it, I will be grateful! Now I begin to understand why Sekiro has a new publisher. I registered on MetaCritic only to say how I am deeply disappointment.
