I will update the review metascore with a more nice custome made image when reviews stop pouring in

 

[T_T]

HOLY FUCK YOOO! I for sure would bet it would be at 88 or something

 

[tommib]

Like I said, Japan devs leading us away from darkness.

 

[Just_one]

i told u all... game of the year...hands down!

you might as well close the year because nothing will come close to this game.

 

[VolticArchangel]

WTF IS THIS YEAR? MY WALLET IS BEING RAPED.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Holy shit. PS5 just got Helldivers 2 and this is coming in like this! Can't wait!

 

[SkylineRKR]

This way higher than I expected. Though I did expect it to outscore XVI as Remake was already superior to that game.

But the demo didn't instill much confidence. And I don't mean the graphics but actually the gameplay.

I was planning to get this regardless but I've yet to continue Infinite Wealth.

 

[GHG]

I had this pre-ordered and forgot.

 

[tommib]

WTF IS THIS YEAR? MY WALLET IS BEING RAPED.

It's looking to be even more packed than last year to be honest. I just don't have time. I do have the money.

Sad emoji.

 

[ssringo]

I can't believe there's isn't a ridiculously low review tanking it a bit. The game seemed ripe for one or two of those opportunists and part of why I thought it'd be a mid 80s.

Like I said, Japan devs leading us away from darkness.

This is going on for quite some time. Where the west drowns in copy paste AAA templates, pandering and uglifying, Japan pretty much sticks to its guns.

Its not like its stopping here, Dragons Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade are JP and Korean games as well. And likely all I will buy for a good part of this year.

 

[Valt7786]

Genuinely surprised Eurogamer didn't shit on it because of Barrett being Barrett or something.

 

[Outlier]

The hell is in that OP? lol

Those scores are amazing. Seems like it's may be a fantastic game.

Hope I enjoy the complete Edition, next year.

I think the only interesting game coming from the west this year is Helldivers 2. Asia will dominate this year astronomically.

 

[LordCBH]

My wallet once this incredible wave of games ends in April.

 

[Valonquar]

Ars Technica's early review is downright terrible. They didn't even play Remake at all and just jumped right into this one. W T F games journalism is a complete joke at this point.

I'm not sure that I will be able to wait on the PC version…

Always have.

 

[Die Namek Ability]

Looks like my 93 might be spot on if it settles a bit. I have been on a prediction Fire over the last year 4 for 4

 

[Mephisto40]

My ready is body

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

I've said it dozens of times on this forum: Final Fantasy for LIFE, let's fucking go, never doubt the Square Gods, already been saying this going to be my GOTY frontrunner

Yeah, big publications are still missing (Gamespot, Edge) and I doubt they would give it a 10

Those titties actually look pretty legit, not like water balloons. notice the muscle around the armpit developed from years of heavy sag, a plus

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Now it will be even harder to secure that physical deluxe pre-order...

Have mine secured, but hopefully Square will stock more of them.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Let's be real...It was impossible for this game to flop.

Congratz, SE. Now just wait for the profits.

No, SE will cry that it underperformed.

Put it on Xbox too, dumbasses!

 

[Just_one]

good god tifa....

 

[saintjules]

So it seems based on some reviewers, the performance mode is similar to the demo we got and fidelity mode may not be worth the switch over in cost of missing out on 60fps.

I am wondering if a day 1 patch will fix some of that blurriness but I am not expecting it.

Yeah DF review shows the patched performance mode is somehow even worse than the pre patch demo.

That's a shame as graphic settings are identical between the two modes otherwise

Not really. What other games are announced and coming out past May? Dragons Dogma 2..........Paper Mario...........and what?.........

 

[saintjules]

Yup, got it yesterday. If I don't get it on launch day I will find another store that has it meanwhile and return it

GOT IT!

To be honest, the 30fps mode in the demo felt really good. Wish they'd include a 40fps mode though for 120hz displays

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

Like I said, Japan devs leading us away from darkness.

Absolutely with the recent years released like:

Tears of the Kingdom
FF7 Remake
Resident Evil 4 Remake
Elden Ring
...and now FF7 Rebirth

they are untouchable

 

[Die Namek Ability]

35 perfect scores out of 90 on Metacritic, pure insanity

 

[Caio]

HOLY FUCK YOOO! I for sure would bet it would be at 88 or something

Wait wait, 94 on Meta ? So why MikeM, Outlier, and killatopak are laughing at this Thread ? Is it supposed to be a nervous breakdown ?

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

I'm predicting an 84 review average. A bit of a dip compared to Remake.

 

[mortal]

Reviewing better than I expected.

 

[hinch7]

Just another week to go for launch..

Someone freeze me in a time capsule.

 

[Horseganador]

Well, this FF7 Rebirth has come out as a masterpiece, a console seller for PS5.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Seriously wtf was that prediction!? How can you look at all the preview material Square put out and think it will score lower than FF7 Remake?

 

[BaneIsPain]

can't wait for 29th. Definitely GotY contender

 

[Roman Empire]

WTF IS THIS YEAR? MY WALLET IS BEING RAPED.

It looks the Pandemic is finally over and everything that should have come earlier in here to steal your money.

 

[Boneless]

Great news, a shame they are still clearly messing up parts of the story otherwise it could be a 10/10 but oh well we can't have it all.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Damned shame Sony has no good bangers this year™
