Games Inbox: Was Starfield worth the hype?

The Tuesday letters page is excited at the prospect of F-Zero returning, as one reader prefers Armored Core 6 to Starfield.

Impossible standardsAlthough I accept there’ll never be any agreement on the quality of Starfield I do think there’s one thing that most people can agree on and that is that it has not lived up to the hype. Even if you enjoy the game, it’s not what most people expected when it was first revealed, and it does have some pretty obvious problems.

Despite what the Reader’s Feature said at the weekend I don’t think it’s the fact that the game is mediocre which is causing the arguments but that it was clearly overhyped. It was basically advertised as one of the best games ever and I don’t think anyone is claiming it’s that or anything close to it.

As many readers have already pointed out, even those reviews that give it high marks end up saying most of the same things as GC and others. It can be a good game and still a disappointment and I think that’s at the heart of what’s causing so much argument.Teflon
