Haha, PCG really hates Starfield. Calling it worse than FO76 and ES:Arena? Lmao.
Before it released I remember their articles about how it wasn't going to be as good as BG3, despite no one inviting that apples-to-oranges comparison but them themselves, and now they're out to do their best to convince everyone they were right.
Personal note: in that last linked article, they compared BG3 vs SF to Disco Elysium vs Outer Worlds, and I think this is hilariously just showing how much this is about their predilection for narrative-core games.
Like, chill PCG. It's a good game, enjoyed by lots of people. If your staff is more into narrative-core RPGs with linear progression, that's cool, but you don't need to demonize Starfield to enjoy BG3. The worst Bethesda game? Worse than '76? Come on.
FO76 had a rocky start for sure, but they have made a ton of updates. It is easily better then Starfield now. If you compared them release to release then FO76 would be worse, but I think they are comparing current state.
Fallout 76 is a lot better than what it was at launch but it's still nowhere near close to Starfield. It's a weird mesh of ideas that don't really fit together but are still enjoyable separately.
See that is how Starfield felt to me. Different strokes I suppose
