Is Starfield Being Review Bombed? Plus It Reaches 6 MILLION Players!
youtu.be
Starfield's user reviews are rolling in from Metacritic and they aren't that great. However, they don't seem to be aligning with the user reviews from Steam...

Seems kind of like the game is just suffering from reactionaries, but I definitely don’t put that much stock in critic reviews these days either.

    A lot of people also seem to not know that you can’t just spend 80% of your budget on a graphics card and buy whatever CPU you can afford with whatever is left.

      I have a 3080 and the game runs noticeably worse in the cities than it does in small rooms. And that’s with everything at low-medium and 75% rendering resolution which seems ridiculous. And the game doesn’t even look that good.

        I’ve heard the game is bottlenecked by the CPU. What do you have?

          I have a ryzen 3900x. It’s never been the bottleneck for me before. I can have 20 applications open while playing most games without a hiccup.

          I have high standards, but still, there’s no reason starfield should perform so much worse than other modern games.
