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.
-
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.

I believe you, but I don't remember backlash for that score on Starfield.

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 watched a couple of prep videos from people who played the 3 hour demo and they said just have a dude who's beaten the game but hasn't moved to journey 2.
I have a few in that state already, but I'm also wondering if there is a cut off trigger. Like if the final boss is dead, can I still go into the DLC? Or even if I can, if there are new ending conditions to change the ending can I obtain them? Technically I've already committed to an ending and seen the credits roll; I just haven't moved to J2 at the Roundtable.
-
Yeah. I ran through every main ending with the same character, and I think this last one was the Age of Stars ending. I don't mind starting up a new journey to get to the DLC, I'd just rather get it out of the way so I can just straight into it when it releases. Thursday is my day off, and I'd rather not waste all of the time I have to play on rehashing the old stuff.

It has a little something for everyone.

Ultrawide support? If there were no new content, I would pay just for the ultrawide support.

That's like... 120 hours for me the way I meticulously comb every inch of playable area. And die a lot.
I have 306 hours in Elden Ring and I think 250+ of that was me wandering and killing minor bosses.
I've got about 200 hours each on just my first 3 characters on PC. And I have the game on PS5, too.
Game's alright, I guess.
my brother.
