Where are those sweet leaks?

 

[Stafford]

I have a feeling this is going to be very good. I know there's still skepticism, but this is Todd's dream game, it's been in development for a long ass time. We also had playtesters saying it had exceeded their expectations and so on. And the Direct was awesome.

I especially hope we really see the return of some much needed RPG elements. We know the traditional dialogue system is back, so that's good.

 

[Xcell Miguel]

100.18GB thought it was more?

On Series X ?
It only installs the required languages (English is always there, plus the one your console/Windows is set if dubbed).
For example in French the Series X Install is like 106 GB, and PC size is 122 GB.
The PC English only version seems to be 117 GB.

The Store tells the size of the full package (with all languages).

 

[FeralEcho]

89 it is and hopefully I adore it.

Bingo,I think thats how it will end up,It will be an amazing game bogged down by the usual Bethesda bugs which hopefully will be ironed out in time but it'll affect the score for alot of publications.I hope the series S version will work great as thats what I'll be playing it on.September will be insane for gaming.

Yeah Series X, well I'm sure it's fine.

No chance this scores below 90mc, I'm going 94 or 95 within that range.

 

[Sanepar]

A lot of chances if it has a lot of bugs and bad performance.

 

[Negotiator101]

A lot of chances if it has a lot of bugs and bad performance.

BG3 has loads of bugs yet it sits at 96mc, ambition must be taken into account with these huge RPG's. Starfield looks like the most ambitious game this generation so far.

[Stafford]

Read through some comments there. Seems some kind of grudge is involved, Layman Gaming? Whatever the fuck that is.

One comment goes..."maybe they were afraid you would light them up."

Sigh, or maybe there's another reason and the game is genuinely good.

 

[RespawnX]

Weird people are playing it now and not a single early leaked impression. Like at least something like ( amazing ) or ( disappointed)

I get NDA and stuff. But no harm of getting people hyped by your influencers especially if the game is good

Standard clause at Microsoft, until end of embargo you are not allowed to make public that you are part of a review program. Yes, there are always experts who think they know better. But with such a big title, it's virtually guaranteed to be the end of the partnership (or more). No that many small sites or content creators would dare to do that. Big portals play by the rules, they don't want a lawsuit.

Despite that, there are already the first leaks around. Some people underestimate how good big companies monitoring can be. They basically monitor half the internet for those kind of releases.

 

[TrueGrime]

Can't wait to see the meltdowns when this thing won't end up in the 90's on metacritic.

Can't wait to see the meltdowns when it is.

No really Martha, he's changed. He said it'd would be different this time.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Less than two weeks now.

 

[Agent_Nobody]

Right here!

Thank you for looking out.

I figure it can suck reading spoilers to remove spoilers, and having it spoiled for everyone having to remove them.

So yeah you (and the rest of the team) have my appreciation.

 

[sainraja]

Sometimes you need to be selective with your money and even more important your time. While consensus isn't always right when you look at the games that often score high yea they tend to be pretty good. Like if I was interested in gollum, see its a broken mess from reviews am I wrong for skipping? Or whats better imo a game like signalis reviews really well then is put on peoples radar.

I am just referring to the "huge" emphasis put on reviews by many gamers. You don't see this type of thing happening in other mediums or maybe I am just not aware.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Let’s play a game! Floor and Ceiling.

I’ll start:

Floor: 88
Ceiling: 94

 

[sinnergy]

88 amazing game , but bugs .

 

[mrmustard]

I guess it'll be something aroung 85 and that's perfectly fine.

 

[Robb]

Let’s play a game! Floor and Ceiling.

I’ll start:

Floor: 88
Ceiling: 94

Floor: 90
Ceiling: 98
Prediction: 94

 

[Stafford]

No really Martha, he's changed. He said it'd would be different this time.

?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Floor: 88
Ceiling: 98
Prediction: 94

 

[Kenneth Haight]

This has to be a home run, MS need some sort of positive PR, so I have no doubt it will be great. Lack of performance on Series X does suck as I probably would have been tempted to pick a Series X up at some point this generation. May as well invest that money in a PC going forward.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Prediction: 96

 

[Zathalus]

Im thinking 89-91.

 

[Luipadre]

I dont want spoilery leaks, i just want spoiler free impressions about the game itself, the performance and the state of the game regarding polish and bugs

 

[kikkis]

I think it will review pretty well. But I don't think the game will for me. 30fps, likely middling and tedious mechanics and focus on crafting etc.

 

[blacktout]

Let’s play a game! Floor and Ceiling.

I’ll start:

Floor: 88
Ceiling: 94

Floor: 86
Ceiling: 95
Prediction: 92

 

[Stuart360]

Floor - 84
Ceiling - 90
Predicition - 86

I dont think it has a chance at over 90, too much politics involved.

 

[LordCBH]

Fallout 4 showed that even a bad Bethesda single player rpg gets rated high. So this one? I think it averages a 90 or a 91. I also think it will be better than Fallout 4, which is good because I did not enjoy fallout 4.

 

[Caio]

No chance this scores below 90mc, I'm going 94 or 95 within that range.

I also feel this will score higher than 90 : the level of polish will be much higher than any other Bethesda Game, and the effort and passion that every single developer have put on it is outstanding, and in development since a long time. MS also put so many extra resources, helping the development of this huge game, and testing every aspect of it. I got the feeling this game will be amazing.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Can't wait to see the meltdowns when this thing won't end up in the 90's on metacritic.

7.8 Remember the score.

 

[DaGwaphics]

Since Skyrim does have a 90+ rating on PC, I wouldn't put that out of the range of possibility.

Some of it depends to on how approachable they can make it in "journalist" mode so that the reviewers can get deep enough into the game.

 

[KyoZz]

I think it can score 90+. Maybe 92-93. Ether way I can't fuckin wait till September 6 (yeah I hate this early access stuff so I don't encourage it)
2023 is SO packed it's ridiculous

Now give me S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 this December and I freak out

Skillup's tweet was deleted. Maybe they gave him a code.

 

[Mozzarella]

Nice, i hope it does well, i want a good competition, and i want Starfield to be great.

I am playing Starfield right this second.

[X-Wing]

Who's Tyler McVickers?

 

[splattered]

15 hours in no major bugs? Whaaa? Impossible. haha

Overall impressions sound good though.

That reminds me i need to pay bills today and see if i have any Starfieldbucks left over.

 

[adamsapple]

All that sounds great. Can't wait.

 

[MarkMe2525]

No chance this scores below 90mc, I'm going 94 or 95 within that range.

I'm super hyped, but cmon. It's a first party MS game so it looses 4 points right off the bat. I would put my money on 88-90 metacritic.

 

[Luipadre]

Waiting for some series x impressions. Hopefully the game runs well. They only making this for 1 console, well 2 with the help of MS. Surely it will run good and look great right?

 

[gaming_again]

If this is good then I think it caps the last couple of years as being one of the greatest ever in games.

 

[twilo99]

It seems like there might be a lot of fake reviews, so be ware.

 

[twilo99]

I think the fact that they are shipping this at ver. 1.6.x bodes well for the bug counts

 

[DenchDeckard]

Maybe, just maybe...focusing on less platforms and MS sending the ninjas and pumping loads of money to get this as smooth as possible will actually pay off.

Would be nice to get a game in 2023 that doesn't launch needing too many patches.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I'm really hoping this is just his experience.

HeisenbergFX4 coming in hot?
