Or they could both be, you know, good games.
No need to shit on either of them.
Fixed.
What else besides mass effect and persona for the rest of the year?
Principate
Saint Titanfall
Still hoping for that 90
RDR2 if it doesn't get delayed
We do?
The horrors of the Trump presidency has had an opposite positive reaction by saving gaming, thus proofing we aren't in the darkest timeline.

Can we put this as a sticky note for games moving forward

The same with me, which is why with the current metacritic I'm expecting this game to blow my mind.

Man, Amazon really screws me over with smaller games like this. Still no sign of a delivery date.

I believe SoM is, yeah. Really quick release cycle on that apparently (Giant Bomb said the other week, anyhow).

Amazon staff are hoarding all the copies of this glorious game.

We need more than 9's
What people tend to forget is that it is an average. Many reviewers gave a game scoring an 8/10 on mc a 9/10 or even 10/10. In the case of Zelda nearly everyone is on the same page that it is at least a 9/10 and most think it warrants a 10. That is a showcase of the majestic quality and appeal of the latest Zelda for sure, but it doesn't mean it is best game for every individual.
Case in point, Yakuza 0 is one of my favourite experiences this gen, equal to the likes of TW3, Bloodborne, and UC4, and it's MC is in the 8/10, yet there have been reviewers that agree with me, handing it >9/10 scores. That doesn't bother me in the slightest as I can totally see why certain elements are detrimental to other people's experiences.
And in the end, the quality of a title will speak for itself, see Dark Souls, which I think we can legitimately call a modern classic despite it's metascore.

No posts from him. He's probably asleep after the drinks on the livestream tonight.
I wonder what game's going to break this streak, so far i don't think we've gotten a single bad major game this year.

Giant Bomb gonna come in with three 5/5 scores in a row.

Working to add all the notable Metacritic Reviews to the OP. Just got done with the 9s & 10s.
Come on, if we can hit 90 it'll make Yoko Taro's year!

A game like Automata with 85+ on metacritic is a huge win for many reasons:
1. Not the highest budget was given to make a JRPG
2. Scoring higher than most JRPG this generation so far
3. A taro game that reviewed well.

I am trying to work my way through Horizon Zero Dawn this week so that I can go trade it in towards this at Gamestop.
HZD though may take longer than this week sadly. Sucks being poor. (New car, ER expenses, taxes,etc) I will have to most likely wait till next pay day, but I am super surprised the game reviewed this well since the first Nier wasn't noted for much other than its killer OST.

What's your bar for 'breaking the streak'? 85 or below?
Edit: must be below 81, as it's FFXV MC score. So not happening.

Really good scores so far.
