I can't tell is sarcastic or not.....if actual serious post, are you telling me you wont play game unless 90+ score?

Pretty sure that he is Jim Ryan.

 

[kyussman]

Is there anyone more obnoxiously hypocritical than these white saviour complex idiots?

From London,middle class and a double-barreled sir name.....yea,this guy is a total cunt,no doubt,lol.

[owandeseis]

No, it still is a GOTY contender

Well that's really optimistic but i've seen people saying that hifi rush game could win it so

 

[TheKremlinBossMan]

Looks like it won't be that GOTY contender some expected, but at least it's a very good videogame, which is more than last FF's can say

For your consideration.

I never said I think it will win, clearly the media already decided it’s TotK (though personally FF16 will be my personal GOTY)

It’ll be in the conversation though

 

[GymWolf]

People should avoid reviews for this one if they care about spoilers because even gameplay mechanics spoil story elements in this game and i just got a pretty big one.

Just trust the demo.

Xenoblade 3 is sitting on a 89 and was a goty contender last year.

 

[Gudji]

88 metacritic score? Not an instant buy for me.

 

[EviLore]

Looks like a winner to me. Preordered.

Thanks for this warning man. I've been avoiding video reviews to try not to get spoiled. I really want to watch the digital foundry video but they always show something later in the game I'd rather discover myself.

It's not even their fault this time, they can't avoid talking about the gameplay that much.

 

[ManaByte]

Preload is done. 90.18GB.

The King has spoken.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

This is not patched. Last I read, the most recent version when the game launches with the day one patch is 1.03.

well looks like I will be playing in Quality mode

 

[Kvally]

I have the demo complete, and my save file is there. Is it safe to download the demo now?

 

[Danjin44]

What usually I do is open different tab and just listen to the review rather than watch it.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Okay. That does not mean a 1.03 isn't coming. It clearly exists.

 

[Ma-Yuan]

Tonight

 

[Negotiator101]

Superb scores! Another great title, hopefully it continues.

 

[ManaByte]

well looks like I will be playing in Quality mode

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Great scores! Loaded up and ready to go for tonight.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Okay. That does not mean a 1.03 isn't coming. It clearly exists.

In that twitter thread people are saying 1.03 still has performance issues, but its whatever. We will found out tomorrow.

 

[Kvally]

 

[Markio128]

I’m all pre-loaded and ready to rock. I haven’t read or watched a single review, but glad to see they’ve been mostly positive. I’m about as hyped as I’ve been in a long time to get stuck into a new game.

 

[Shifty1897]

Well, this game is completely sold out where I live. Amazon said they could get me a copy by July 10th, lol.

 

[xBlueStonex]

Performance mode is rough, just as I predicted. And dropping to 1080p while in quality mode? OUCH.

 

[Guilty_AI]

I can't tell is sarcastic or not.....if actual serious post, are you telling me you wont play game unless 90+ score?

I wont play games with more than a 90 score.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I wont play games with more than a 90 score.

For me I only play games that are 97+ with moving foliage and ray tracing.

Where do you guys who ALWAYS reliably get games before their street dates live ?

I would like to know. I have never been able to do that.

Literally, ive only ever been able to get fifa early and it was because the copy came directly from EA.

Never in my life have I gotten a store to sell me something early.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Sounds like ACG was a little disappointed with for being a stark contrast to what he considers a FF game to be. I, too, wish it was a bit more traditional, but it still looks like a good game. My copy seems to be shipping very late from Amazon for some reason.

Trust I also had my ps5 a few days before lunch plus 3 games

Do post the contents please, im still torn between keeping my regular copy or going for this one

Honestly not worth it it's more like a day 1 edition.

 

[Sleepwalker]

haha its the steelbook nice at least?

 

[OmegaSupreme]

It's up to 90 now. I know that was the barrier for success for some of you. Congratulations.

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

I’m sorry but the immature side of me is elated that this didn’t get a 90 because this team hates CG cutscenes and instead has tons of half-measure in-engine cutscenes with boatloads of “CGI effects” even though the character models aren’t that good

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I’m sorry but the immature side of me is elated that this didn’t get a 90 because this team hates CG cutscenes

It's literally at 90 right now on opencritic

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

It's literally at 90 right now on opencritic

People care about Metacritic. And on Metacritic it’s an 88. On Opencritic I can make a game review website right now and write a FFXVI review and it’ll have the same weight as other websites.

 

[Ma-Yuan]

haha its the steelbook nice at least?

Well I am not steel book fan. Actually I don't know why I bought most likely because I was hyped I consider steelbooks useless since my final fantasy XII steelbook started getting rusty for no reason.

 

[Palabragrís]

Easy Allies review. Yes, I know some people don't agree with the 'wokeness' of EZA, and I myself have problems with the state of their channel right now (the GameTrailers days are far behind), but they're still reliable in this regard, so I share it here:

But there's like 5% CGI cutscenes there according to Yoshi P.

Ok.

 

[Dr. Claus]

I heard you can buy the game early from New Zealand digitally? How?

 

[Kvally]

 

[Valonquar]

I heard you can buy the game early from New Zealand digitally? How?

You createa New Zealand PSN account, buy New Zealand PSN cards for purchases and download it. Basically in the amount of time it would take now, you could just want another 9 hours without the headache.

 

[killatopak]

I heard you can buy the game early from New Zealand digitally? How?

Just guessing but make a New Zealand account, buy it there, download it then switch to your main account? I dunno if that works but that's how I play my Asian copies of games and play them on my US account. Just make sure to buy/download any DLC on the account/region it was on to access it on your main account.

 

[jm89]

On opencritic 90 and meta stilll 88.

Can't see much changing with meta.

 

[Shifty1897]

10/10 does not mean perfect, it means it is a masterpiece. This is a subjective review, not a fucking math equation.
