The fact that Diablo 4 got an 88 MC says all that needs to be said about the state of games reviews.
Yep. Should have been much, much lower. Seeing Diablo IV go from a critical darling to industry punching bag is hilarious. Total turd. Hopefully Starfield doesn't suffer the same fate. We won't truly know until everyone's had time to sink 200 hours in it. Soon.

Fallout 4 shows even a bad Bethesda game can score high. But this looks better than fallout 4. It actually looks like a good game.

What are you talking about? Metacritic for Fallout 4 is 84%, at least for the PC version. Which is spot on and aligns with the most reliable score there is: Steam user reviews (83% positive from 200k reviews).

85-90? Bethesda doesnt really do 90+ games do they? Skyrim? Will be a success if it received anything like Skyrim.

If its below 80 neogaf is going to have a meltdown.

87.

Someone said that there are still loading screens when entering doors, if that's true it should be penalized by subtracting -20 points. So maybe 67 then.

I mean, that can't be true, right? When I came across that in Fallout 4 I was already going "what year is this?"...

I don't see any scenario where Spider-Man 2 could be a serious contender for most GOTY awards. Maybe in 2021, but in 2023? Not a chance.

If this year didn’t have spider man 2 or Baldurs Gate 3 this would have been a strong contender for GOTY

It will probably be beautiful and fun, but using a very similar formula. Both 1 and Miles Morales didn't even hit 90 on metacritic. Actually, if I am not mistaken, no Insominac game ever did.

Anyway, we have to wait to see.

Spiderman 1 should have hit 90 on Metacritic, it was awesome.

After watching all those leaked videos I'd say it will land somewhere in the high 80s. My guess is between 87-89, unless jornos fall into the hype and let slide some flaws.

I agree, that's the problem, and quite sad.

Many care more about a score than the game itself. This discourages innovation and risk-taking. If I were a developer I would try to develop some 8h game with a good story and nice graphics. Easier said than done, but the chances of hitting a score above 90 on metacritic are higher. It seen that's what matters, Metacritic, not the game. I wonder how many pearls go unnoticed because they got a 7.5.

Managed to snag my brother an AMD Rewards code for the game (which took a surprising amount of effort).

Hope it works as he's building his PC specifically for this!

I predict 88-89. Sad if this can’t run on Steam Deck. Bethesda isn’t id Software, so I don’t expect much. Not all BGS are Steam Deck verified.

I think ps fans are anticipating this game more than the Xbox and pc people I mean how will they live if this scores higher than all their 2 people walking climbing and talking simulators

I've never understood this. I'm playing God of War now and its full of action and rewarding combat. I mean it has a story so=talking simulator!
The last of us has some of the most brutally satisfying combat I've experienced but "talking sim" I guess.
