I'm glad I don't have to rely on the mass opinion about a product to buy it. I've already pre ordered the game and have done so with plenty of other games regardless of what someone else thinks.
But in your case, having limited funds is a bit different. Just get the game when it drops in price. Don't completely shut it out because of reviews. Don't live life with this view. Unless the situation is dire, you will miss out on a lot of what life has to offer.

That's a 717x404 GIF file which is basically a 4x supersampling to 720p resolution so of course it will look good.
Holy shit. I don't even.....

Game completed. It's great. Alan Wake is the Remedy's finest though

There are no two sides. He did his job and wrote a review, people are bitching because his low score contributes in bringing down the games meta score. He tweets basically saying he ignores people who are not really concerned with his actual review, but with how it effects metacritic.

I hope you are being sarcastic cuz man..................
Edit: Ok. I am going crazy. Thank god.
Look good, too bad some parts are in a tv show, I would have prefered everything in the game.
Just a little fear for the repetitiveness with only the time as special skills.
And a last concern which can't make the game great for me, even if I understand that it can be hard to keep a balance between this and the overall lisibility.
Why it lack the cinematic feeling which could fit perfectly with its own tv show during most of the gameplay, I wonder how the gunfights and parkours are shot in it compared to the game.

Have we made any progress in camera management since resident evil 4? /half-joking.
I'd say it comes down to more of a
Perception thing. Like a 3/5 is a solid/ok game. I wouldn't consider a 6/10 a solid/ok game. Maybe it's something that I'll get a few months later on a sale. I'd probably equate a 3/5 to a 7/10. I would consider the Division a 7/10 or a 3/5 if I were using that scale. But o wouldn't rate it a 6/10.
Yeah it makes no sense

Makes sense to me
Maybe it's why hotels use a 5-star system and not 10?

For me I guess it varies. 2/5 is definitely the same as a 4/10 in my head, but 3/5 is not the same as 6/10. I guess it's because in school, 6/10 means "you done fucked up," but 3/5 mostly just makes me think "more than half full." Meanwhile, 2/5 is "less than half" and 4/10 is "you REALLY fucked up." So idk. The two scales aren't perfectly analagous, but in this case, I'd say that they're close.
yeah amazing
a 2/5 tells me rent. 4/10 says stay away don't bother wasting money on this piece of garbage

Do they though?
Destiny got a lot of low scores yet sold well. I've generally found reviews scores don't have much of a say and people go off did they like the look it when it came to their attention via whatever means. So many games with high scores sell poorly or don't tally with the scores even if they have decent marketing. Looking through the history, it just seems random.
Funny thing about the scores. If Jeff gives this a 3/5 and gamespot a 7 a lot less people would give shit and would move on. You show yourself to wanting games to get a certain score regardless of what the reviewer thinks.
People scream for choice and fairness for everyone but then want games to be brought up to a certain score they're happy with. You've got plenty of resources out there, majority think it's a good game, second majority think it's average and the last think the bad points out weighs the good, and that's Jeff's take on it as well as the others.
The second majority is actually quite a large collection of 6s and 7s with a lot of bad stuff to say about the game. Jeff is only slightly under that considerable consensus. Not surprising to see Jeff's take on it and that second majority is bringing the meta score down.
Jeff gets fired at gamespot for not giving a game a good review and starts Giant Bomb, get praise for not towing the corporate line, gives game a bad score and gamers flip their wigs and want it higher.

I was trying to bend it a while back. Gave up. Probably bothering someone else on twitter.
What about it?

Not actually that important
The problem with the basic idea of QB, I feel, was that it gave me to things to worry about enjoying to come off it completely satisfied: both the game AND the show since the latter is so integral to the game itself. I didn't play the game yet but watched an episode and my god it was bad. That immediately tampered my enthusiasm for the game, since Remedy is known for exquisite but repetitive gameplay and I need a hook (story and atmosphere for Alan Wake) and a big part of that fell flat to me (even if it was just one episode): being a tv show makes me feel different towards skipping it like it was a bad cutscene or glossing over it like I did for the awful spoken in-game cutscene in AW. So it went from week1 to "I'll play it, but when it hits 20". I still wish the best of luck to the title and Remedy, hope it succeeds.

Weird to think that a game with a review distribution like this:
...is generating as much concern as we're seeing in this thread.
Wait, does metacritic always take the mean?
The distribution you posted isnt symmetric at all, so that's why I'm asking.
He's a hypocrite for sure.

Same here and Giant Bomb's tastes are always so inverse to mine that I know if they hate something it means I'll love it.
Plus, this is Remedy and Sam Lake. No way in hell I'm not going to love it.
We even have some of the same people in here! So that's not that of a big surprise.

Not even close.
No not really
The game isnt out yet and most of us here already call it dead!
I have a "very different and original" way to see the reviews , if most of them are positive, they cant be all wrong, and if im interested on the game from what ive seen, one bad review wont let me down, but its interesting to know what an opinion of one individual its doing for this game, like in evrything, we would be missing amazing things if we only rely on someones opinion.

I sure hope this is just you being bad at April Fools'.
Eh, that seems like a stretch.
Some posters are making a concerted effort to hold back for sure.
Game is releasing on Steam????
