I've been really enjoying the game, just past 70hours on Xbox and starting the 2nd main story mission quest. Planning on starting new on PC shortly after I complete my current character. I don't understand the console hate. I was upset when Spiderman on PS4 was an exclusive, but later I got a PS4, played/beat it, had a blast. Hate for something because you can't play it is just wild. Just like people hating on huge houses or seeing expansive cars just because they don't have it. Underline jealousy. If you really hate it that much because you can't play/have it, work towards obtaining it and appreciating it. I've been really happy with most of the games that have come out/still planning on coming out this year, best in a long time for me
Why are people just assuming it’s a console war thing and “jealousy,” when the article is talking about reviewer scores, not scores from random users?
Making excuses as to why the game isn’t reviewing as highly as they think it should be. Not understanding that sone people just don’t like the game as much as they do.
Exclusives are actively hurting the consumer, being upset is normal.
If it's because someone decided they can milk more money by making it exclusive, it's not that wild.
It seems your world view is dominated by jealousy a lot and you project it onto others. I hate huge houses and expensive cars because it's just to show everyone around how rich you are and serves no other purpose. All that while other people suffer and struggle to survive.
I mean, I get where you're coming from. But this didn't start with Starfield, and Sony has a great track record of even more restrictive platforming than Xbox does. Microsoft games are now usually accompanied by some kind of PC access.
Not an excuse, but expecting Microsoft to extend an olive branch of non-exclusivity to Sony when they have historically been incredibly averse to it themselves is not really a realistic expectation.
