As Bethesda’s first brand-new IP in years, as well as a major Xbox exclusive that many PlayStation fans are still salty about, there was a lot riding on the game’s success.
On paper, Starfield has had a very successful launch, garnering plenty of brilliant reviews from critics, contributing to a sales increase for Xbox Series X consoles, and having over 2 million players on Xbox and PC from early access alone.
For fans though, it hasn’t exactly been the once-in-a-lifetime experience many were hoping for. While people are enjoying the game, there are several in-game mechanics and activities that have rubbed people the wrong way, mostly the galaxy exploration being a let-down and classic Bethesda bugs working their way into playthroughs.
As for Dr Disrespect though, the streamer has put a good few hours into the game, and after a bizarre reaction to the character creator’s option to change your avatar’s pronouns, finally shared his thoughts, as well as a score out of 10.
On a recent stream, he was asked about his thoughts so far, and said: “I love Bethesda games man, I never played Fallout ... Morrowind and Skyrim and Oblivion, those were good but the pacing on this one is just a little … I feel like I'm in the menus in this game all the time and using dialogue all the time and then docking, undocking but I like the art, I like the aesthetic, I like the storytelling, combat's a little repetitive. Yeah, I'm gonna give it a 7.1 that's where I'm at right now.”
Not a bad score, though it’s sure to ruffle some feathers of many Starfield fans. Some claim the game gets significantly better if you stick with it long-term, and some even say it’s infinitely better when you hit New Game+.
Starfield is available right now for Xbox Series X/S and PC, as well as downloadable via Xbox Game Pass.
