6/10 from Washington Post. Didn't they give Uncharted 4 one of the lowest scores too?

Yes a 4.

They gave RE7 a 5/10.

Do they even like games? lol

 

[StrongBlackVine]

The Washington post review games? Why?

They definitely don't appear to like games.

 

[ironcreed]

Yes a 4.

 

[Wagram]

The Digitally Downloaded review irritates me. Such low bar writing that any editor worth their salt should have said "rewrite."

 

[Jawbreaker]

Do they even like games? lol

Well, the same person (Christopher Byrd) reviewed Nioh and Resident Evil 7, but Uncharted 4 was reviewed by a different guy. Chris reviewed The Last Guardian which got a 10/10, so it seems he has a particular taste in games.

Damn what games have they given a high score to?

OK so they do like some games. I would imagine a news outlet like that does not have much staff dedicated to gaming so they probably have people playing a lot of games they don't want to play.

 

[Asd202]

I understand someone may not like games like Uncharted 4 but giving it a score of 4/10 is absolutely ridiculous.

Thanks for posting it sir.

Yeah, it seems like they only have two regular reviewers.

I am amazed!

6/10 from Washington Post. Didn't they give Uncharted 4 one of the lowest scores too?

What's sad is they're on metacritic.

 

[Phil Fish]

This game is sold out everywhere man. Got lucky finding a copy at beat buy (14 copies left).

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

Sooo no Easy Allies review yet?

Yeah, I've been hearing from some friends that they're having trouble finding this one. Their local Gamestop only had enough to give to people who preordered the game.

Ben Moore is the one reviewing it, and he is digging in deep. If the latest Frame Trap is anything to go by, he's absolutely loving it.

Publishers need to stop that nonsense! It's not going to sell if it's unavailable...

There's always digital but yeah it seem Nioh is undershipped.

 

[viHuGi]

it might go up to 88 if Gamestop gives a 10!

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Possibly. The 90 dream is dead.

 

[reKon]

Lol, Washington Post reviews are a piece of shit - I think it's well documented that they aren't anywhere close to being very helpful at all. It's a shame because the regular news content is good quite.

 

[N.Domixis]

Every time we think its 88 its back down to 87. Disappointing,

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Two major outlets left that could boost it back to 88. Polygon giving an 8 was higher than expected.

 

[mrmickfran]

One of the review outlets that actually rarely gives perfect scores.

What was their last 10, Bayo 2?

 

[viHuGi]

One of the review outlets that actually rarely gives perfect scores.

What was their last 10, Bayo 2?

Uncharted 4.

 

[RespectThySole]

One of the review outlets that actually rarely gives perfect scores.

What was their last 10, Bayo 2?

They've been giving them out more often this gen. They also gave The Witcher 3, MGSV and Uncharted 4 10s.

 

[gow3isben]

Gamestop is actually charging it for 59.99 right now.

My review finally went up today on EGM: Read it here!

As I had said before, I don't like to rush through games like these (I don't think it's fair to them or me, plus it can make you hate the game when you need to walk away and get the anger out of your system), so I wanted to take the proper time with it.

Any reviewers in here, can tell me how many missions left after beating

Spoiler

Okatsu

?
Also please tell me the crystal mechanic is done now.

One of the stats screens in the game tells you the specific amount of missions in the campaign, which ones you've already cleared, and at what level.

EIGHT hours for the tutorial and first stage then? What the hell goes on over there? I can't even wrap my brain around that.

...HOW DOES IT TAKE YOU EIGHT HOURS TO GET THROUGH THE FIRST AREA?!?

Don't jump to conclusions when it comes to reviews, different people means different opinions no matter the publication it comes from.

I think that was probably the best way for them to write the review. I really don't agree with some points, but it was a nice one in the end.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

There's always digital but yeah it seem Nioh is undershipped.

I live in Australia and on the morning of the 8th, my gf went to a retailer to get me a copy of Nioh. She said it wasn't even on the shelves and the guy had to go out back and look for it. He then proceeded to bring out a box that had like 10 copies of the game.

I'm getting the feeling this game has a very limited release.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Gamespot's review finally came out. 9 out of 10 as expected

Nice.I know someone will buy this instantly just because GameSpot gave it a good score

 

[N.Domixis]

Wow, seems Sony made the right call on this one.

 

[N° 2048]

Ugh so happy to hear this game doing well.
I've played about 20 hours and this game came out yesterday. Very rarely do I do that.

I'm also glad it's doing well. Wish I had time to play though. Will still pick it up to support the game and maybe get a few hours in here and there

 

[Rodin]

6/10 from Washington Post. Didn't they give Uncharted 4 one of the lowest scores too?

Yes a 4.

Is there a specific reason why they're on metacritic?

I don't even remotely care about review scores, but that sounds like a load of bullshit and an insult to the developer's hard work, especially in Uncharted's case. No way that game deserves a 4, that score is for broken and comically bad games that barely even work.

Yeah, Washington Post. So irrelevant, am I right?

In the videogames space, irrelevant seems like a proper word. Especially if they give these scores.

 

[Karu]

[VanCityGamer]

Yeah, Washington Post. So irrelevant, am I right?

In terms of games coverage?

 

[jjonez18]

This game came from so far off my radar. And here it is with an 88 meta and 90+ user score. One of the highest rated exclusives of the generation.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Is Nioh being sold out for everyone everywhere? I know it is for Australia according to Reddit but it might be more wide spread than I thought lol

Fair score, nonetheless.

 

[lawnchair]

my local mom n pop sold through their preorder copies and apparently got more in today, i was able to pick it up this afternoon. thank you gamecube hut

Seems like its meeting expectations then.

Washington Post is a joke.

Gamespot 9.

Damn I'm buying this game within the next week, what a showing.

 

[Tarkus]

I like this game more than Dark Souls 3 or Bloodborne. Yeah, I said it

Washington post and 'Cheat code central', never heard of it. Sounds like some generic gaming mag from the 90s lmao
