Seems kind of like the game is just suffering from reactionaries, but I definitely don’t put that much stock in critic reviews these days either.

It would seem so to me. When there’s a big disparity across the ratings - positive and negative are similar on metacritic with little in between - it raises a lot of red flags to me.
I dunno dude, I’ve heard a lot of people have legit complaints about the game, especially on PC.
Oh I know there are, I’m not saying otherwise.
For PC, game optimization is very inconsitent. When I’m in a smaller space like a dungeon or the Constellation Lodge, it’s actually pretty great and runs smoothly. When I go into the city though, the framerate is terrible. The graphics also become significantly worse. So yeah, wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of those negative reviews are from PC players having to deal with Bethesda jank again.
People also need to stop calling 40fps unplayable. They expect their 3050 to run every game at 120fps on Ultra.
Uh no. People are barely doing 30 fps in the lowest settings with this game
It’s reasonable to expect high framerates in 2023. If people want the game to run smooth there’s nothing wrong with that. Hell, doom eternal was a Bethesda game and it looked gorgeous and ran like butter, so we know they can pull it off.
Bethesda was the publisher of Doom Eternal and had nothing to do with the engine.
A lot of people also seem to not know that you can’t just spend 80% of your budget on a graphics card and buy whatever CPU you can afford with whatever is left.
Not sure if it’s evidence of organized review bombing. but yeah, it seems like most people are just being as extreme as possible because they know it’s a scale of averages.
Nah. There are good reasons to love and hate the game.
