Wow 89 meta!
Even with all my faith in GG I did not expect the game to score this highly.
I believe the patch we get next week at launch is going to fix some of the lip sync issues.
Think I heard that in Kinda Funny review.

Higher than expected, but hype has gotten ahold of gaming sites before. Hopefully that's not happening here though.

Yeah, we have two meaty games releasing within days of one another. At least in my case, I have trouble alternating between two (relatively) similar lengthy games, so I'll have to choose one to focus on. It'll likely be Horizon since I might just wait for Zelda to work well on the Cemu emulator. I may not be able to deal with the game's poor image quality on my Wii U after Horizon.

89 Meta !
Predict the biggest flop of 2017.
i need a link
It's VERY hard, it's the high 9 of last gen, and this gen 85+ is the 9+ of previous gen.

Holy sht this game got some good reviews
It's 2.5 in a 5 scale. So it would be more correct to convert it to 5/10 in a 10 scale. Don't get why people are getting upset by this low score tho. Reviews are always subjective. I admit it looks a bit strange in that company, but I don't know how people can get upset by it.
But as I have mentioned earlier; I have been convinced by all the positive feedback, and might end up buying it after all.

If it wasn't for Zelda and the Switch, I would've gotten this game day one. Probably wait till April or May too pick it up.

So thanks to USGamer it not hit 90 MC,great scores.
Ignoring Killzone 3 is also a mistake.
Where do y'all think the red foliage stealth in Horizon came from? IT WAS IN KILLZONE 3.

My prediction from 19th January for the 12 games prediction competition:
There was no way this was going to review similar or better than Witcher 3. The Witcher 3 set new standards of quality in storytelling, world building and characters while Horizon even being good doesn't reach that quality.
I also continue to find the combat a bit too simplistic and boring. (Prepare the avater quotes).
The world of the Witcher 3 was so engrossing, detailed and well described that even a boring combat couldn't drag it down, while in Horizon i see not enough compelling world building or characters writing to play it till the end that is why i was hoping for a moderately short main quest lenght.
The Eurogamer review echoed my worries about the game.
It's a pity because the enemies design and animations are one of the best (if not the best) in recent RPGs.

Witcher 3 91, Horizon 89......Does not compute. Scores are very close.
The one negative review spoke to you but none of the positive ones did, gotcha. The story and characters are getting a tonne of praise.
lol. now I heard it all.
I would assume there's still plenty of reviews to go.

Enjoy your 89 folks, because it's dipping back down to 88 within hours.

Eurogamer are usually my go to review site, and they were far from gushy over the game and also addressed issues I was hoping to avoid (FC style outposts/towers etc that have been done to death) but I cannot ignore the overwhelming positive press it has elsewhere and will be diving in next week.

why is metacritic showing you a 89 Score? If i go on the page it says 88
Edit: Beaten just changed to 89

My prediction from 19th January for the 12 games prediction competition:
if it's 89 now, it'll drop another .2 or .3
Any sort of average score will be fuck by all the fanboys giving it 10/10s and 0/10s, it'll be useless unless you wanna swim through all the shit to find the genuine reviews.

Each part of the day looks great, but the transition is a bit abrupt to be honest. I suppose they wanted to maximise the beauty of each time of day, but this makes the transition between the very different colour schemes a bit jarring.
I thought KZ2 & 3 were two of the most mechanically solid first-person shooters of last gen
They were.
