September 6, 2023 is the release of Starfield for PC and Xbox. But one user is already so angry with the game that he gave it the dreaded “0” rating on Metacritic in a test.
What did the user write? A Metacritic review, which has since been deleted, read:
Bethesda – Because it’s not so important to make games that work, it’s more important to find new ways to squeeze as much money out of the bank account as possible.
The Starfield Super Special 76 Edition encompasses the expected disappointment. She comes with a shot glass so you can take part in the most famous internet drinking game in internet history: Have a shot every time Todd Howard lies.
But don’t do that, you’d be dead of alcohol poisoning in the first 5 minutes of the 20 minute presentation of the “masterpiece” that will ultimately turn out to be another disaster for Bethesda.

What happened to the review? As French site Millenium knows, it was only possible to write a review of Starfield for about 48 hours, well before the game’s release.
Metacritic then closed this possibility and the review was deleted. It is said that the user was apparently banned.
Angry Tester is apparently still traumatized by Fallout 76
Why is the user so angry? This seems to be a fallout from Fallout 76: the game was criticized at the time for Bethesda bringing an online service game instead of another story-heavy Fallout single-player RPG that many fans had been asking for.
In addition, there was a big controversy about the Collector’s Edition in Fallout 76: an enclosed bag was supposed to be made of canvas, but it was only made of nylon.
Todd Howard is for some a hate figure on the net who allegedly promises more than he can deliver.
It’s also fair to say that while Bethesda is notorious for introducing microtransactions to online games (the famous horse armor), there are certainly “worse offenders” out there, especially in Asia. And that the games from Bethesda, precisely because they are so open, have some problems with bugs, even Todd Howard would probably admit.
This time Xbox wants to make sure there are as few bugs as possible by assigning every free QA tester to Starfield.
