Starfield haters are already planning to review bomb the game, for some reason

The release ofStarfieldis almost upon us - and it’s undoubtedly the most hyped game of the year. If Bethesda manages to pull off all that they’ve promised,Starfieldis a surefire GOTY contender. I personally cannot wait to dive in.

As I’m sure you’ve heard,Starfieldwill boastover 1,000 explorable planetswhere you’ll find an“astonishing” number of side quests. Just yesterday, it was teased that there’ll be a criminal system,a housing market, plus you’ll be able to recruit four companions from a choice of up to 20. Bethesda seemingly really has created a universe that we can all get truly lost in. It was also confirmed yesterday that the gamehas officially gone gold. Those of you with an Xbox can pre-download the game now. In recent days though, fans have expressedconcern that negative hate will be thrown atStarfield, simply for the point of dragging it down. That now appears to be the case as some haters are threatening to review bomb the game for no apparent reason.

Take a look atStarfieldin action below.

Anotherexampleread, “Look, don’t worry. I’ve spoken to a ton of PS gamers. I know one who has 600 Metacritic accounts ready to zero the game.” Anyone else hate this return of the so-called ‘console wars’ mentality? It’s so needless. For the vast majority of us, I think it’s fair to say that the console wars are a thing of the past. Xbox is great. PlayStation is great. Nintendo Switch is great. PC is great. It’s a shame that a minority are trying to overwrite that narrative with review bombing.

It’s a concern many users of theStarfieldsubreddit have shared. Agitated_Carrot3025wrote, “I simply don’t get it. There’s a ton of PS5 and Switch games that don’t seem to run on my X or PC. I don’t go review bombing them.” One userreplied, “It happens with everything. You also see people handing out 10s left and right. User reviews are a joke and sadly shouldn’t be taken seriously,” while TiredReader87added, “This is why, as I always say, Metacritic’s user reviews are stupid and meaningless. Kids and idiots just review bomb popular games for ‘fun.’” The most important thing is thatStarfieldwill soon be in our hands to enjoy.
