It blows the competition away basically. This game will feel relevant in years to come, just like RE4 did long into this generation. And also since they're both beautiful, epic zombie-fests.

Seems like most of the rage over the "low" scores has settled down.
That Sessler review is fantastic, really well done.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
I prefer my more subtle one

Reviews are as much consumer advice as they are an opinion.
In this industry, reviews didn't start as an audience clamouring for a deep understanding of one critics views. They came from the requirement of insight as to whether a game is worth money to you, becuase games cost a fucking lot.
You've got a fair idea, that if your score is far out of line with the rest of the industry, your opinion on the game is possibly not fair as consumer advice.
I am saying, it's not as fucking clear cut as "it's an opinion".
Juniors don´t have opinions or what, only reviewers?
Thanks. Said it for me.

No one is allowed to talk about the beginning or anything after the halfway point. We can more or less only talk about the stuff you have seen in the trailers and nothing else. We can't even discuss some of the easter eggs and main character motivations.

You can guarantee that a group of games, some of which I'll assume you haven't played, aren't as good as another game you haven't played?

Aftonbladet, a crappy (to put it mildly) tabloid in Sweden, gave it a 2/5:

"But seriously, this is a game based on a monotonous game concept already for years ago was trite to breaking point. And seriously, that relationship is based mostly on the father figure uses his concern for daughter figure as an excuse to torture, cold-blooded execution and set fire to people."
Hey, that's the impression I get too!
No Tricky.

Hahahaha. It's been quoted so much already, but nice work.
I wasnt around, but it was just as stupid, yes.
This is extra dumb since we should be way past the e-penis, console wars contest shit this late into the gen.

Honestly, Polygon gave it a 7.5 just so you guys could talk about Polygon.

I hope they have better things to do. There's things they can take from that review and think about going forward. Hopefully they're focusing on that type of stuff.

They've been marketing this game like crazy...idk what more you want from them. Sure they aren't advertising the game on primetime CBS but they are marketing the game where it counts i.e. during shows and on networks that gamers watch in droves ("The Walking Dead", etc.)
:lol :lol :lol my thoughts exactly..

Doesn´t Metacritic delete opinions that deviate too much from the average score?. It would seem logical to do this in order to avoid manipulating scores.

This is becoming a U3 (which was disappointing) 8 review score moment.
I mean, I'm super hyped for this game, but people have different opinions.
Christ.
The Last of Us has yet to be released, so I doubt you've played it yourself. There's a game you listed that has also yet to be released here, so I doubt you've played that either.
Were those reviews even by the same person?
I don't understand what you're going on about.

Outstanding
It happened with GOW Ascension, Halo 4, Mario Galaxy and more. Happens with every one of these, just some more than others. My theory as to the degree of outcry is dependant on the quality or critical acclaim of the franchise. Zelda is a renowned and critically prominent, the the lower scores made more of an impact with the fan base as a result. Similarly, to many, Uncharted 2 was the best game of the generation and some of the scores or complaints seemed equally alien when it came to UC3. But like I said, it happens with every big exclusive. Nothing new here.

You are only rewarding them with exposure not shaming them as you intend.
Now we're into the rage over the rage phase, which is just as annoying.
I just took it meta with the rage over the rage over the rage.
I think its time to pick up a ps3 tutt

Be that as it may, such strong opinion from those who haven't played the game == reasonable in your estimation?
Why should they care so much if one or two reviewers like the game less than they're "allowed to"?
thats a fact.

I was planning on waiting before picking this up, but these reviews made it a day 1 purchase.
