It reviewes below Ryse so far. Unthinkable.
Dev team celebrating the game went gold.
Kinda lower than what I expected. Curious to play it tomorrow and see for myself. Getting it with a discount, so it's not so bad.
Wondering where RaD go from now... They got the engine and maybe could make some great things with it, but after this I don't think Sony will give them much choice.

bullshit, the controls are superior to practically every other 3rd person shooter since.
Not really.
Already 22 reviews listed.
The rest must be all 2-4/10 to get it below 60 ;-)

No, I think you're not quite hitting the mark there.
The media loves cinematic stuff, and it is a good thing - the media are hating on shitty, derivative gameplay. A game that has a cinematic focus, and even QTE, with non-linear, inventive gameplay would fair much better.
The cinematic angle isn't the issue, it's the rest.
And what if it doesn't now? How many pessimistic people held off on preordering until the embargo? After the bad previews the game had, that number on its own would be pretty bad.

Goodness. I think by and large we've gotten pretty good at calling a stinker. Hype is dead.
There's is a hype/self-selecion bias. That's why OTs are generally positive.
i think you're enjoying games for what they are and not critisizing them for what they're not. i think it's a good way to be tbh.
sounds like it isn't even a steak. Theres no meat here, It's just a pretty picture of a steak.
This is exactly what I thought of when I saw first reviews. Dayum poor people...

It can go either way some games that gaf dislike go on to sell millions .
Not saying this is one of them but gaf sometimes has a huge disconnect from the gaming world in the whole.
People will always hype stuff no matter how it turns out .

Nah, Lair was unplayable because of the control scheme.
I think it's more like the Haze of our generation.

Pretty much what I expected.
It would be a good game for $25, but definately not $60.
These QTE games need to stop or at least be reclassified so developers don't get away with what amounts to false advertising/ bait and switch.

Didnt a ton of people on GAf claim 12+ hours easily and now reviews indicate the opposite?
What happened there?
Something like 7-8 hours doesnt sound bad if the story is good. Id love a cinematic game with a great story in this style. But from what ive been reading all morning....it isnt a good story at all

Ikr, where the hell are my fetch quests and my map checklist with observation points???
so.... those of you who hide your true colors and those of you who constantly defend everything to the moon... how does the crow taste?? or are you still in denial?? Will you still be in denial after you already finish you 5 hour interactive movie??? It's cool... I bet you were the same quality of people that bashed games like Titanfall and Evolve for being Multiplayer only even though you never played it...You are the type that bashed something like Sunset because it wasn't "true 1080p"....your damage control is one of the other major reasons gaming continues to slip down the slippery slope....
Step up and make a damn example for once..... stop buying these overhyped exclusive piles of poop and tell Sony (and all these damn companies for that matter) to STOP OVER PROMISING AND UNDER DELIVERING.... this game has NO RIGHT charging $60.. you want to go for $20 ... ok cooooool... also LOL at the fact it was always hyped and advertised as a "shooter".... but hey its just Sony being Sony...

That's RAD celebration after The Order went gold.
Fucking brutal of him to post it in here.

Haven't played it, nor do I really care about The Order.
Although I really like that more and more review sites tend to use the entire scale of their rating system I don't really understand how this apparently "functioning" game can still get lower scores than broken ones.
Is it that bad that a broken game is still more fun than this?

From Sterling's review (which is another great piece, best in the business):
That might be the most important point to anyone on the fence.

It is Driveclub all over again and it was predictable. If you have any faith in gaf, give this game a shot. My personal rating, for what is worth, is a solid 80: the game knows its goal and it does a good job to achieve it. As often happens, especially with Sony exclusives, we have sparse numbers in a wide range like 5 - 9 which tells me the absolute nothing.

Buuu RAD are above portables mang. Seriously, how did they think that a short restricted gameplay would be a good idea, i never know.

Anyone who watched the early playthroughs on YouTube should not be surprised..
Except a lot of recent marketing and impressions had people doing a 180 in recent threads and become more interested and positive. It wasn't until the impressions and early reviews that hope sank. The original mediocre views largely stopped in the past 3 or so months though.
Early previews left me unimpressed, recently I dug the concept more. Disappointed it's turned out as it has, but I'm still getting it. Hope to enjoy it, we shall see!
Yeah, this is what I have issues with the most. Not liking it is fine, but if it's functional and well optimized that seems low. Shows why number scores are largely irrelevant.

well, 60ish metacritic is yellow, close enough to gold.
Ouch!
On a positive note anyone wanting to pick this up pre-owned with have lots to choose from at their local store.

He was not talking about MS. And I somewhat agree with him. (I have a Ps4)

But more people would have been happy and Ready At Dawn would still be looked at fondly. Their reputation has taken a serious hit here. Another good portable GOW would have been better for them and more importantly us.

some "cinematic games" are good, some are bad
It doesn't cost $60 to get into a Transformers movie.
It sounds like this is worth a rental or waiting for the inevitable PS+ free copy in a year, but what content is there isn't great enough to justify the price.

I feel bad for RaD. It seems like they have a genuine passion for their games. I hope that their next game will be more critically successful.
The VG guys are professional, their approach is simply tongue in cheek which I love.
You can taste the sale coming from the person moaning about the gif. I bet they wouldn't moan if it was a 6 reversing into a 9
