I think Spider-Man 2 is the best/worst example.
This game is not even 8/10 quality, let alone 9/10. And first game has 87 score.
Woke + Sony is a reciepe for high scores with game journalists we have now.

And we got non-Sony, non-woke games getting higher scores. The math ain't mathin'

Technically, it's possible that woke average games are scoring equal or higher than non-woke, good games. And non-woke great games, score higher than both. Whether that's actually happening is a whole different debate.

But Sucker Punch fired a "woke propagandist" so shouldn't they be trashing the game instead of praising it?
Maybe the games with the higher scores indicate that the reviewers think those games are better than the games with lower scores.

For $70 and a five year wait time... yeah?
Honestly, what will this game give me over replaying ghost of Tsushima and watching GoY story scenes on YouTube? I'm not saying it's a bad game and that I probably won't enjoy it, but if you want $70 from me, you're gonna have to do more. This is in my $30 maybe someday file in my brain.

Just because you expected it doesn't mean you still just aren't hating on the inside. Maybe it's because Sony and Nintendo make great games........

Well, that's a fair question. I guess even they realize that it's not worth it to rebel against their allies because of that.But Sucker Punch fired a "woke propagandist" so shouldn't they be trashing the game instead of praising it?

I doubt 30% of GAF believes what you just said. No way people who played a game and liked it, would give it a good score. See here on GAF, it's opposite day.......every day.

That game sitting at 94 MC is just crazy
Terrible writting, pacing, characters, and yet it sits at 94
Cant trust reviews for big games nowadays

Just look at what happened to Collin Moriarty and it's obvious. Ten years ago everyone who wasn't a democrat or on the left were being pushed out and that accelerated greatly as Trump took office. So you're left with all of these media sites dominated by left ideology.

yep. the question this game's asked from the initial reveal: 'are you ready to replay ghost of tsushima?' period (my personal answer: no). it's the essence of comfort food gaming, which's all it aspires to be & all its fans expect of it...

Survival instinct…No mainstream publication will try to trash this and risk losing Sony's grace. Look at DF, as the best example.
All the trashing will come from no-name publications or youtubers.

Most of the time you will find out if you actually read the reviews.
There is plenty of criticism between the lines and for GOY and some of them is a big nono.

Still don't understand how this happened given the game was a broken unfinished mess.I think Spider-Man 2 is the best/worst example.

Not even anything above a 7/10 and far worse than the first game.
Critics are a joke.

Counter argument? So Collin wasn't pushed out because leftists got offended by a "sexist" joke and people in the mainstream weren't actively promoting Left ideology and suppressing Right leaning or Christian ideology? Are you and I living in separate realities or did we not go through a period of "boring generic white male protagonist" backlash from journalists for years?

Ah yes, the classic reviewers don't align with what I think this game should be rated at (despite not even playing the game), hence they are all bought and/or cannot be trusted.
Personally I thought Spider-Man 2 was overrated, but if you look at the Steam reviews (ignoring the first batch of reviews due to the dreadful pre-patch performance) I, and many others here, would be in the small minority.
This game looks to be in the same vein as GoT, with slightly better review scores, if you like/dislike that game than you would likely have a similar opinion on this one. No real conspiracy here.

That's not the question it asked me, but even if it did, you could have ended it with the bolded part. Save the mansplaining of "what fans expect". If you aren't a fan, then you have even less standing to speak for those who are.

They did with Days Gone. Some didn't like that the boring white guy in the game. Besides if they wanted to trash the game and be coy about it that's pretty easy to do. I mean....we could say Eurogamer's 6/10 is about the dev being fired just as much as we can any other pub giving the game a 10/10 for being "woke propaganda".
I think we overthink the hell out of this review score shit man.
Or maybe I've just lost my marbles like good ole

the thing is, i was a big fan of tsushima (at least until it just went on too long). & 'mansplaining'? as in 'sexism'? you sure that's the expression you meant to use? I'd suggest 'condescension', or 'pontification', or even 'snottiness'?...

Spiderman 2 should be an 80 at best.
GOW Rangorak as well.
HFW and Ratchet should be 70 like Days Gone.
DS2 75 for basically being a DLC.
But we are overrating games everywhere.
Halo Infinite at 87? LOL. More like 67.
Alan Wake 2 89? INSANE. Again, it is not a good game so shouldnt even be at 70.
Hellblade 2 is barely even a game and is sitting at 81. 1 below the legendary The Last Guardian. Go fuck yourselves!
FF7 Rebirth is literally a ubisoft copy pasta game that has a 92 metacritic.
I am not even going to go into silksong, hades 2, elden ring, donkey kong banaza, and mario kart because i dont want to get banned. But everything and especially the big games this gen have been getting overrated. It's not just a sony phenomenon.
KCD2 and Expedition 33 are the only games where ive agreed with the Metacritic. Everything else has been overrated to oblivion.

Spot on. In fact, GoY has the identical metacritic score as GoT: Director's cut. Makes sense as I'm sure a lot of improvements made in the DC carried over to GoY. This is the most uncontroversial score the game could possibly have really.

This should bold well for the direction that Sony is taking with the PS6. I'm a fan of Ray-Tracing, but not a huge fan, and especially not when it's too expensive. I would rather have 1440p at 120hz with the latest PSSR or whatever it will be called in the PS6 version.

A big fan that isn't even interested in a second game? If that's how you feel, I won't question it.
Mansplaining isn't sexism per se. It's a man trying to explain (typically to a woman) about what she actually wants or feels, because he thinks he understands better. It's usually quite harmless and we all are always tempted to do it. Condescension is too generic. If there is a gender neutral term for "condescendingly explaining/pontificating what others want/feel/expect", then feel free to swap my word for something more appropriate.
