[RagnarokIV]

Fair score for DS2

 

[Gonzito]

 

[Fake]

MindsEye is likely a 0~1 game(aka scam game), so I wonder what is in the game for them to give a 3/10.

 

[drganon]

Edge can't end publication soon enough.

[Certinty]

Totally agree with the scores of Mario Kart World and Death Stranding 2.

Both good games but nothing amazing nor significantly better than their predecessors.

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
This is a grand, unwieldy behemoth of a sequel, buckling under the weight of its features and bombast. In lacking a sense of direction, though, it sometimes delivers in unexpected ways." [7]

Mostly in-line with my experience with the game.

Are those EDGE score counted at the metacritic?

If so this maybe gonna remove the 'must play' tag from DS2.

 

[Sintoid]

Poor Mario Kart World

 

[Represent.]

Edge can't end publication soon enough.

No. We need stricter reviewers. Everything can't just be a 7. Bless them for having the balls to consistently give out 1's, 2's and 3's. They should consider giving 0's too.

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Fixed for accuracy

It'll drop the metacritic score by 0.15
If it's current 90 average is actually a 89.6 that they're rounding up, yes it will.

 

[Sintoid]

Edit - I made some mess

Yes. They'll add their DS2 review to MC soonish. Here's their MC reviewer page:

RIP Hideo.

Poor Mario Kart World

Dude it got an 8 from edge, lol. That's like a 10 from IGN. I'd be happy as fuck. It could be way worse. Death Stranding 2 got a 7...it has a 90 metacritic.

 

[Sintoid]

Dude it got an 8 from edge, lol. That's like a 10 from IGN.

But It's not a 10 from Edge

(hope someone will understand I'm joking someday)

And I would still call it overrated.

Well deserved cover art

The DS2 score upsets you does it?

Who gives a shit?

 

[Baemono]

• MindsEye - 3
• Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour - 3

I don't know which one is the bigger insult here

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Wow. Some 3/10s. Has Edge even given lower? I've only seen them bottom out at 4s before.

• FBC: Firebreak - 3
• MindsEye - 3
• Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour - 3

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

They charged money for Welcome Tour. Never forget that.

 

[Kilau]

Isn't this the coward magazine that won't review Hogwarts Legacy? Who gives a fuck what they think.

Wai...wait, nothing better in DS2 than the first one? Goddamn, sounds like a chore to play

Click bait friendly and still irrelevant as ever.

Please do tell how you come to this conclusion... surely you played both right?

No. We need stricter reviewers. Everything can't just be a 7. Bless them for having the balls to consistently give out 1's, 2's and 3's. They should consider giving 0's too.

We do but if you are saying it something is off.

Edge can't end publication soon enough.

They're one of the only ones not afraid to dunk on "critically acclaimed" or fan favourite games.

MindsEye - 3

Heh.

 

[Thief1987]

Rare sight to see nintendo game in appropriate company

 

[Insane Metal]

So MKW is better than DS2.

 

[Dafegamer]

What's this about? Is Edge ending or something?

 

[Judge Magister]

MindsEye score is too high. Everything else ok.

[Danjin44]

the recent trailer for Pragmata really made me excited for the game, I just wish it would come out this year.

 

[Killer8]

Irrelevant rag filled with the same irritating writers from all the other sites you hate, only this time they're anonymous.

 

[Chittagong]

8 for Mario Kart World is a solid take, I can't believe how mid the game feels. A seven really, but seeing even 8 is bound to be controversial, it's reasonable.

 

[Neff]

• Mario Kart World - 8

Would love to read this

 

[Fbh]

Isn't this the coward magazine that won't review Hogwarts Legacy? Who gives a fuck what they think.

Yup. Whined about the lack of diversity in FFXVI too.
It's a shame really because I like their more grounded scores, but I can't trust they aren't deducting points from games because of random woke reasons.

 

[Three]

They're one of the only ones not afraid to dunk on "critically acclaimed" or fan favourite games.

Unless it's a Nintendo "critically acclaimed or fan favorite" game. Their 10/10 for totk was undeserved imo. It was even more "more of the same" than DS2. Botw definitely deserved it though.

 

[yogaflame]

Edge always wants to feel controversial and relevant. It is like they want to gamers to feel that they are like the bible of gaming, the only source of truth, which they want gamers to feel there opinions are so important. Worse they are infested with politics and woke agendas on some of there reviews and articles.

Even if they give good or bad scores on a game, I never trusted Edge. If gamers give importance to reviews, I suggest to base it on Metacritic general average score.
