It isn’t just some players who believe these comparisons are unhelpful,CD Projekt Red’s Patrick K. Mills is also not a fan. “This fake criticism is actively harmful to the way the audience interacts with the medium and I hate it, but it’s very funny to see after how many hundreds of these were made to ridiculeCyberpunk 2077,” theysaidin response to countless videos highlightingStarfieldvsCyberpunkissues.
We have no particular horse in this race – both of these games have merits and flaws – that being said, pitting games against one another is all too similar to the fanboys and girls whowage console warsfor no other reason than sheer boredom. It’s unnecessary. Obviously, criticism should be given when it’s due, but if it’s just to poke fun for the sake of it, it has no impact other than discourse and disruption.
Starfieldis out now on Xbox and PC, whileCyberpunk 2077: Phantom Libertywill release on 26 September.
