It’s IGN. They probably had this score lined up since the announcement.
Eh, I don’t love IGN but it seems like at this point nothing they do makes people happy. I remember when they gave Starfield a 7 people rioted lol, even tho the score was entirely deserved.
A seven is VERY generous for Starfield… but I know game review scores are BS and only go from 5-10.
Totally agree, tbh I even felt 7 was a bit too high. But people were pissed that it was that low.
Dunkey actually made a great video showing how any game that gets below an 8 gets slammed, regardless of the title. Was kind of funny tbh, albeit a little sad.
Bethesda should have put “Mario” or “Zelda” in the title if they wanted better scores from IGN.
Were people angry because it was low or high? I’d give it a lower score personally, though I’ve still seen some people argue it’s a perfect game
I’d say it deserves a perfectly mediocre 5. Everything it does is better in other games, and the one thing it’s supposed to do (exploration) is better in their other games. I live sci-fi so I was willing to overlook a lot of issues, but I think the biggest letdown is that the sci-fi stories it tells are boring as hell and don’t actually make use of the genre. If they really wanted to make a sci-fi game they should have been ready to tell interesting sci-fi stories. Instead they gave up all the strengths of their other games to tell uninteresting stories.
They thought 7 was too low. And I totally agree with you, I would’ve given it like a 6 or 5.
I believe you, but I don’t remember backlash for that score on Starfield.
There’s an extension for YouTube dislikes if you’re curious. That video got slammed with them.
Granted, people eventually agreed that the game was pretty mediocre. But at the time the only people that had played it were the diehards that paid extra for early access, and they were livid.
Can a DLC be game of the year?
Maybe? Witcher 3: Blood & Wine was similar.
I have a character sitting at the table at the end of the game before starting up another round of Ng+, will that work for the DLC? Or does it have to be before the fire giant?
I think all we know is you have to have beaten

Radahn and Mohg
to get in.
Yeah. I’m just hoping there isn’t a cut off after you have completed other parts of the story. Guess I’ll find out in a day and a half. Worse comes to worse I beeline it in a new run.
I doubt they’d make a dlc you can accidentally lock yourself out of. People would lose their minds. Maybe accidentally as a bug.
Seems like a Fromsoft thing to do :D
Have they done that before? I don’t remember it off the top of my head.
No, I don’t think they have, but I wouldn’t put it past them. I remember being trapped in the sewers in Dark Souls after I got petrified and permanently lost a chunk of my life total. I just restarted the game because there was no way for me to get back out with such low total life.
That’s not the game locking you out of stuff, that’s you being stuck in a portion of the game. Totally different. ER did that too, with the trap teleport chests. Usually you have to fight your way out. If you’re underleveled, it’s going to be an ordeal, but it is doable.
It has a little something for everyone.
Ultrawide support? If there were no new content, I would pay just for the ultrawide support.
