A pivot to Sony (typical) doesn't change that the game has disappointed a lot of people. When things are hyped beyond what the results show, this is the consequence. PlayStation is not at fault for what's going on with Starfield.
Thus, it sounds like you're in your own nightmare.
First post on the site. Says it all.
OT: Looks incredible!

Opinion has been spammed in multiple articles. Word-for-word. Yes, it loses weight.
Come to think of it, you should cover your tracks better than that. :P
A. It's 6 million PLAYERS, not copies.
B. Why'd you use Final Fantasy? That's not even PlayStation's biggest launch. It's Ragnarök, and that sold 5m in 5 days.
Xbox has no exclusive that has ever done that, and unless they (Microsoft) state otherwise, Starfield didn't either.
Answer — ask the reviewer who made the claim.
But the Xbox-centric sites get a pass for perfect scores, yes?
In other words, you're guessing. Got it.
I'll take his word until proven otherwise.
If his claim is false, prove otherwise.
Yea. Blame the "ponies" for the game's critical reception not reaching the heights many of Starfield's ardent fans claimed it would...
PS5's biggest games (Demons Souls, God of War, Horizon, Last of Us, Ratchet, Returnal, etc) are all above an 84 on Metacritic and not are not considered disappointments. Starfield was hailed as the "next great ....", "the turning point for Xbox", etc.... and all it has mustered is an 84 Metascore (lower than every one of those games). Besides, "80% Metacritic is not 88% (if we're being technical), but no one said 84 was a bad score. Only that it's nowhere ...
Did you actually READ the question or decide to wear your heart on a sleeve to defend a plastic box? Some of you are seriously annoying with this. EXPLORATION - which one does it better? He presented it as he saw it.
It’s not that difficult.

A ripoff is not an answer to anything.
Sure, Jan.
Clearly it did, as Square said they were happy with the result.
Phil, leave Sony, and its games, out of your future equations.
I swear, they’re obsessed with Sony. Like watching a 5-year-old trip over his own feet with his shoes untied while he runs towards the candy shop.
Folks, this is sparky…. Why is anyone even engaging him? Sony is killing it right now and this is the nonsense he comes up with. Don’t waste the energy!
OT: Of course, they continue to kill it!
In fairness, he also condemned it when the reviews made it clear that this wasn't anything to praise.
Typical with Sony sequels. Pay it no mind - the game will release to great reviews, break records, and articles like these will prove their irrelevance once more.
Sony can receive plenty of competition and it not be from Xbox. This is always the thing that plucks at me "Sony needs competition, Xbox can't go away". Sure it can. Present them with a WORTHY competitor.
Hardly anyone could be underwhelmed with this latest SOP given we knew nothing about it until the past week, and they told us it would mainly be a 3rd Party showing.
