Substantially better than Deathloop which for some reason got high 80s.. found it pretty meh.

I’m just glad this game is well received. It’s been awhile since I sunk my teeth into a bethesda RPG.

As stated by others, review scores aren't the final verdict. But typically corrupt review sites giving such mediocre reviews isn't a positive sign.

Then don't play it? Lol.

At the end of the day the only review that should matter is your own. Probably won't touch the main story for a while and just explode. For fallout 3 i didn't touch the main story for like 4 weeks. This year for me has already had many fun games.

It isn't a sign of anything when it comes to IGN.

I read PCGamers review, which was a 7.5. Breaks my heart that PCGamer is shit now, but that has nothing to do with this review.

Anyway, he said the most fun he had was when he ignored the main quest. Im kinda wondering how many reviewers did the main quest/campaign and theyre basing their review off of that, and how many didnt complete it and theyre basing the review off of however they decided to play the game. In the PCGamer review he talks about trying to become a drug Kingpin on one of the planets, but its not a quiest based thing, just something hes doing on his own. Being honest, the main quests/campaign is never what hooked me onto a Bethesda game. Its all the random side shit.

With that said, one of the criticisms that does sound pretty legit is that with all the taking off from planet to planet, a lot of the "random side shit" just doesnt emerge. I remember taking off from a town in Skyrim or Fallout in the direction of a main quest and somehow I got side-tracked on a dozen other things and totally forgot what I was doing in the first place. Seems like with the kind of game this is that might happen in towns, but not when you're out and about in the game "world" so to speak. All the planets make things a bit fractured as opposed to one cohesive whole.

I gotta avoid spoilers and shit But it’s a good day brothers, this game could’ve been a train wreck but hearing Gman call this game a “phenomenal achievement” is all I needed to hear.

This game seems to be getting the reviews that Skyrim should have gotten. Good open world Bethesda game with lots of cool shit to do. Also seems to be the least buggy Bethesda game. I'm definitely gonna play this. Still don't understand why Skyrim blew up the way it did with the media and casual gaming audience.

I saw this in a review and it let me know I'm going to get lost just doing random shit for tens of hours.

Mortismal is a reviewer that I trust and has never lead me toward a purchase I regret.

7 isn't supposed to be mediocre. Reviewer probably just got off of playing BG3.

Seems like people are mixed on randomly exploring. Some seem to like it and others don't seem to like it that much. I already planned on sticking to the main quest and major side quest anyways so I'm not to worried about it. The New Game + is supposed to be where the game begins apparently.

I skipped to the last five minutes and he sounds like he really liked it.

That sounds awesome. They've been messing with their procedurally generated missions/events for a long time.

I'm in for the actual quests and base building (FO4 consumed for a couple of thousand hours just building) but I'm looking forward to seeing what random stuff we stumble upon.

The IGN review also mentioned that it took a dozen or so hours to get going (but it was worth it).
