Being one of the most anticipated games of the year isn’t always a good thing. After its appearance at the last Xbox and Bethesda joint presentation, some gamers have already shown their displeasure with Starfield. One of them, perhaps the most eager to get everyone’s attention, even took advantage of an error on Metacritic to give the game its very first zero in the user reviews section. A note that the site has of course already deleted and in which shines a spirit of revenge against the most unfortunate projects of the creator company of The Elder Scrolls.

A zero for Starfield on Metacritic

The text of the review is none other than the aforementioned assortment of reviews of the games from Bethesda and Todd Howard, who have been active on the site. for about 48 hours until Metacritic removed it. Apparently, Metacritic also took disciplinary action against the user in question, whose profile is no longer visible on the site. These actions appear to be related to measures the site has taken over the years to prevent practices such as “Review Bombing”, which are only intended to self-servingly lower the average ratings of video games.

Bethesda — because creating games that work is less important than finding all the ways to squeeze as much money out of your bank account as possible.

Starfield Super Special 76 Edition includes the expected disappointment. It comes with a shot glass so you can participate in the most famous drinking game in internet history: having a drink every time Todd Howard lies. Better not to, you’ll be dead of alcohol poisoning after 5 of the 20 minute presentation of this “masterpiece” which is ultimately another Bethesda disaster.

Of course, this criticism of Starfield is totally unfounded. Any user who spotted a way to circumvent Metacritic’s rules and write a “review” before the game was released could have done so. It is always good to be careful before going out. However, the company claims that even if it were launched now, this would be the least buggy game in Bethesda’s history. It is up to us, as always, to maintain the balance between the enthusiasm for the game that we expect and reasonable skepticism until the first feedback confirms the company’s version.
