"Craft" has to be the most abused marketing term in the last few years.
Nah. "Cinematic" is used even more. And it's even more cringe worthy.

Hahaha. I'm dead. I can't stop laughingAn hour before release
Less to do with fansites. Influencers like Colt Eastwood and Klobrille don't effect metacritic. But not sharing review codes to certain outlets to achieve a higher MC score at launch is disingenuous. Which is why Starfield was an 88MC when it launched and after a week was an 83MC.
5 point MC differential between launch day and a few days later is pretty unique. You believe what you want![]()
Only sending review codes to approved outlets, and meta scores settling down after more reviews pour in. Two more things exclusive to Xbox /s
Right. People like to play stupid. You think the response wouldn’t have been swift if Spider-Man 2 went from that initial 91 down to an 86? It’s clear that Starfield’s case was unique, for what ever the reason.5 point MC differential between launch day and a few days later is pretty unique. You believe what you want
Yeah, to me it pretty much sounds like a spin for "reviews doesn't matter, you can play it right now via GamePass, check it yourself!" argument if the reviews won't be favorableI can't believe the weekend is here and will pass without any reviews dropping. It's like you can hear them saying, "Hey, can we bury the reviews in with the launch?"
Hold on. Are you really suggesting that console wars are involved when people expect the worst due to review embargos that expire at the last minute?It's funny but it seems to me like most of the concern comes from people who wouldn't get this game in the first place. I can't wait for the time when exclusives dies and warriors disperse.
Not all of it, we also have a few loonies with an easily triggered confirmation bias because they're upset that someone made a game they're not interested in.Hold on.

Looks hype
Great, don't want any accidental spoilers.
Warriors are not going to disappear, that's for sure.I can't wait for the time when exclusives dies and warriors disperse
He jokes a lot. The only thing missing, is some new material.
I can't believe they would lie. We all know that the first w in any web address stands for Wholesome, based on the moral internet code bestowed upon when it was created.surely someone wouldn't lie on the internet? Surely they would admit the real reason they do it is for delaying reviews so as few people see it before buying.
Angry mad woman finally sacrifices herself and the studio behind her.Angry woman game tanks. Studio dies.
Good riddance. Try making something fun next time..

Even better now is that the game doesn't need to fail to sink the studio... just exist in the gamepass ecosystemEven in my broke phase as a kid growing up with a SNES and actively trash-talking the Sega Genesis I couldn’t afford, I don’t believe I ever went as far as actively hoping a game fails just and the studio gets closed.
You people are strange![]()

Ninja Theory is probably worth keeping around just because of their cutting edge motion capture knowledge. I'm not sure how successful of a studio they are outside of that, though. They have a pretty mixed record over the past 10 years. Hopefully Microsoft can cultivate the talent they do have and grow them into something greatEh. Ninja theory have multiple projects in the works, they’ve got a track record of keeping games on budget and are in the UK where MS doesn’t have the excuse of ‘stretched management’.
They’ll very likely be fine.
I’d be surprised if the game doesn’t get a PS5 port eventually.
Looks hype
Can't wait to press forward for 4 hours.
I'm kidding, I like cinematic eperiences with good storytelling, with great sound and great graphics. I'm just pointing out the obvious.Dont play it then? If its not your style you can skip it you know
Looks hype
if you are playing games or watching movies/shows based on metascores then you are missing out a bunch of good stuff, just sayingAn alarming situation for the "dozens" of people who will buy this game for $60 (or $70) on day one. For those like me who will play it on Game Pass, it will be an indicator of whether it's worth the download hassle. If it doesn't get a score above 85, I don't plan on downloading it.
I agree with what you said about films and TV shows. Sometimes highly rated films turn out to be terrible, and sometimes really good films get low scores. However, when it comes to games, I've rarely been disappointed by those that score 85 and above. Especially games that score 75 and below almost never mislead me.if you are playing games or watching movies/shows based on metascores then you are missing out a bunch of good stuff, just saying

Probably the only good thing about it... what you want reggeton?Nothing against Aurora, but why can't Microsoft go for any other kind of music choices in their promotional videos and even their showcases sizzle reels? For years and years it's always been this kind of music, with this kind of vocals and this kind of vibe.
Hellblade 2 will be more than a walking sim though, right?I'm kidding, I like cinematic eperiences with good storytelling, with great sound and great graphics. I'm just pointing out the obvious.
When it gets a PS5 port, will there be a physical release or will it be like Alan Wake 2 (digital only)?Eh. Ninja theory have multiple projects in the works, they’ve got a track record of keeping games on budget and are in the UK where MS doesn’t have the excuse of ‘stretched management’.

Well, sometimes you will need to press another button to fight, that's it I think.Hellblade 2 will be more than a walking sim though, right?
Fort Solis was a beautiful looking borefest!! Literally walking and that’s it

Imagine looking at Klobrille and thinking “streamer” or “influencer”….good god lol….This dude’s review doesn’t get added to Metacritic or Opencritic.
Y’all whine about anything. Every brand and publisher gives codes to streamers and influencers these days.
In fairness, many Xbox fans shitted on the first only to praise this later.The Sony fanboys are so obvious. Y'all championed the original on PS4... Now its meh? Ok?
