anything above an 85 is fucking gravy

 

[Captain Hero]

89 and above .. I'm sure I'll enjoy it whatever the number is

 

[AV]

Safe 88 bet.

 

[THEAP99]

This is reassuring. It'll be mid 80s for sure.
Any word on previews or first impressions?
Have review copies been sent out yet?

 

[THEAP99]

 

[CrysisFreak]

One of those games where I don't care about reviews because I'll enjoy the fuck out of it for sure.
Expecting an 88 though.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Looking forward to this. I hope it does wonders across the board. It feels so far away, but lord knows quarantine makes the days fly, lmao.

 

[GymWolf]

I think 80-82 from what i saw.

 

[MisterBrimstone]

If Karak says so then it must get better from what I've seen on the latest gameplay since it was pretty lame.

 

[Knitted Knight]

87

 

[Javthusiast]

Between 80-90. But I don't really care for reviews at this point. They showed me enough to want to play it myself.

 

[Entroyp]

I estimate this game will get an 80 Metascore. Can't wait to play it.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Last of us 2 was a 95 so realistically this should be a 175.

Game looks insane, can't wait.

 

[Soodanim]

Me: "I didn't know there was a Game of Thones game coming out"

 

[GymWolf]

Me: "I didn't know there was a Game of Thones game coming out"

We: wtf ninja and samurai have to do with game of thrones?!

 

[THEAP99]

Ya it's pretty much confirmed now that reviewers have ghost of Tsushima in hand

Any word on previews coming ?

Hopefully we continue to get hints and stuff about the game throughout the weekend

 

[Yoboman]

Im expecting 80s then. Sony seem to give a week or more on embargo before release for games they expect 90 scores plus

 

[iorek21]

If GOT doesn't get a Metascore above 95, Persona 5 Royal will be the highest rated PS4 exclusive this gen

 

[Xplainin]

I'm looking forward to this game.
Can't wait to get my Ninja on.

 

[IfuckinghateReddit]

I read this and I was like "Game of Thrones?"

 

[Saint Boot]

Last of us 2 was a 95 so realistically this should be a 175.

Game looks insane, can't wait.

Joking aside, I really do hope it's recieved as well as TLOU2 is and gets the same sort of high scores it did.

 

[Mista]

Going with an 87. I hope Sucker Punch knocks it out of the park with this one. I really want this game to be good

 

[Patriots7]

DDMM is the worst. I'm an ignorant American.

I dunno. It can't be bad at this point. So 85+

 

[Hobbygaming]

Last of us 2 was a 95 so realistically this should be a 175.

Game looks insane, can't wait.

TLOU Part 2 is living rent free in so many heads lol it's a masterpiece

 

[kretos]

I predict 88

 

[Chromata]

If GOT doesn't get a Metascore above 95, Persona 5 Royal will be the highest rated PS4 exclusive this gen

Well deserved, one of my favorite games this gen and my first Persona title.

 

[Hobbygaming]

Ghost of Tsushima is exactly my kind of game. Day one!

 

[Wunray]

looking like a 86-87 MC, which is all good in my book.

 

[Classicrockfan]

can you choose your sex in this?

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I'll be happy with anything in the 80s and pleasantly surprised if it's near the top of the 80s vs lower 80s

It's probably safe from a Days Gone type score just because it is a bit more unique, but If I'm being totally honest I think I enjoyed the core GAMEPLAY experience of Days Gone over TLOU2.

Days Gone was unjustly blasted in reviews

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Between 80-90. But I don't really care for reviews at this point. They showed me enough to want to play it myself.

Can you please stop making me relapse with your avatars? Some people are trying to purify their souls over here

Also, 80-89

 

[BaneIsPain]

My biasness predicts an 88-90z

 

[THEAP99]

I keep forgetting I ordered the art book for this game. It's the first art book I've ordered for a game

 

[Nikana]

82

84 for black and white version.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

76 Metascore.

Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Kerotan]

A good sign they can review it 3 days early. If it's mid 80's I'll get it without question.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Don't give 2 shits about the Metascore, it's Sucker Punch. I'm buying it.

86

 

[jaysius]

I'm still convinced that the reason you can't drive in infamous is because they don't know how to design the game for that.

I'm not a huge fan of the way they make their open worlds, this seems like an ambitious leap for them over all their other stuff.

They'be been vague about this for so long, the combat looks really mushy and meh.

 

[Chupanibre]

I predict a metascore of more than 1 and less than 100.

If it falls in those parameters, I'll buy it.

 

[Superkewl]

read title, though there was a Game of Thrones game coming out that I hadn't heard about :-(

 

[Mercenary09]

More than likely will be in the mid to high 80s.

 

[Lionel Richie]

I'm still convinced that the reason you can't drive in infamous is because they don't know how to design the game for that.

LOL that's a terrible take. They design their games with verticality in mind because they know a lot of the fun comes from jumping over obstacles and not driving around shit.

I do hope GOT doesn't change that formula too much.

 

[SleepDoctor]

At least Sony won't have to tell reviewers not to talk about half of the game to boost review scores here

 

[THEAP99]

On Tuesday, people can officially say they're playing the game or have been playing it.

I imagine we will start to get hints and "impressions" about the game starting then. Hype tweets hopefully.

 

[wipeout364]

Seems crazy to me they didn't hold this for a PS5 launch title, seems like it would have been a epic title to have day one especially if they they could of had it running native 4K and 60fps.

Probably will pass on it and pick it up on PS5 when the inevitable port comes.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Better than Second Son so above an 80.

 

[Deleted member 471617]

If GOT doesn't get a Metascore above 95, Persona 5 Royal will be the highest rated PS4 exclusive this gen

What's the difference between Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal?

As for Tsushima, im expecting low to mid-80's. Will be around Death Stranding status but sell much better. Will be my final digital purchase of the generation.

Royal is an upgraded version of P5, it adds a lot of gameplay and story content. I think there are also a lot of visual upgrades, but I've never looked for a comparison between the two.

Think of it as something like Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath, an expansion of sorts that also changes the base game

 

[Spukc]

Not sure i want to have anything related to GoT after season 8
