Spec Ops was a lot worse than the Order imo I couldn't play through that at all though I I've watched a breakdown on the endings and what not and they seemed pretty good.

They sought and got the game early, they were hyped for this game more than the average person, they probably soaked in the atmosphere an unusual amount, thoroughly reading every clipping, and checking areas obsessively even when there was nothing really there.
That's why you only take pre-release impressions with a grain of salt.
It looked cool. *shrugs*
I'm not committed to buying any game and can cancel my preorders at any time. There's no money down, It's no risk and I save $20 if I do want the game. So why not?
At this point I'm actually going to play The Order just because I want to see it for myself. I figure that's worth $10.
Lol yeah right, EA and Ubi throw more marketing money around that Sony.
Get real. Sony spent £250m marketing Wonderbook forchristsakes!

It may as well be. Storm Island is XB1 exclusive, plus the 360 version is missing weather and other features.

It would be interesting to see a re-review to the game and how it is now, but when it first got released the reviews were all over the place, some read like they were not expecting a circuit racer... so damn odd. However, DC right now is easily in the 90s, literally one of the best games on the PS4 and it is stupidly addicting.

Regardless of scores this is a game I still want to experience. The setting is the coolest I've seen in a long time, and I dig the concept. It would be a shame if the ip ended like this.
Will pick up a used copy for a quickie playthrough before returning it for another game.

Both sides are pretty sad to be honest, I can find a bunch of posts in here that I think are sad
Which TPS has overtaken it and why?
I agree that many people will like it but at the end of the day it is about how much these reviews hurt sales. There definitely isn't a 1:1 correlation between review scores and sales so it may do better than the review scores reflect which would be nice....but I'm definitely not counting on it. Hopefully RAD's fairly good previous track record and at least mediocre sales allow them to continue on unfettered.

Still the point stands that the exclusives on PS4 have been very meh so far.
I own both consoles and am primarily a PC gamer, and I've been disappointed in my PS4 so far.
The X1 has given me Dead Rising 3, Forza 5, Forza Horizon 2 and Sunset OD, and I thought all of them were great games.
The PS4 has only really given me one quality exclusive, that being Infamous SS, and I would probably put it behind all of the X1 exclusives I mentioned.
Was hoping this game would be a killer exclusive, but seems like its not. Doesn't mean its worthless, as I enjoyed Ryse (on PC) and this seems like a similar situation. Still the PS4 exclusive lineup has been a wreck so far.

I believe many developers believes they can sell a game just with visuals (and maybe they can, The Order was hyped mainly because of that). However, it seems that reivewers are demonstrating nowadays that they will NOT score a game well just because of it. I mean, Killzone SF, Ryse and The Order were all graphical masterpieces, and apparently all of them has quite a mediocre gameplay.
I mean, I do like Killzone and Ryse, but both could be much better games indeed.

But it's a PS3 remaster...with that logic the could make an Uncharted 2:Remastered too...

Which is problematic because DC actually probably should have had a negative score adjustment post-release because of all the online issues. Same for Halo: MCC.

Spec Ops had a pretty good story though, and if reviews are to be believed TO doesn't.
It may as well be one. The 360 version was done on a different game engine by a different developer, after all. I wouldn't consider it a 'cross gen' game necessarily.

It will be seen as a good game after some time like it happened with binary domain, resident evil 6, lost planet 3, nier, demon's souls and others.
Jim implied in his review that it was short (roughly 5 hours) and that the game did incredibly little with it's length.

Why do the stands always (seem to be) taken against Sony-marketed or Sony-exclusive games?
Where was the stand taken against Halo: MCC about how that launch was completely unacceptable?

I win because I predicted 60-70 Metacritic. Metacritic will have a 3% bearing on whether I buy the game or not.

Ok...? And why does that matter? Some of you get way too caught up on negativity
To be fair, there is one game I can think of that scored really well but was a disaster and still is. So yeah, scores don't mean nothing besides being a internet popularity contest.
Can't believe it's doing this bad, i was expecting at least a 70% metacritic.
Oh well, expected anyway
Oh well, expected anyway
I also think it's fair to expect more out of a $60 AAA title, but again that's all subjective. We should have high expectations for such a big title, we should expect excellence. The general consensus seems to be that the quality of the game is mediocre.

I had no intention of buying this game day 1 but will do it eventually. Reviews are only opinions and I haven't exactly trusted game industry reviews for awhile.
With that being said, it seems Nintendo is far outperforming its competitors as far as quality gaming is concerned. I have a PS4 now and I haven't touched it. All time going to Wii U games.

Ironically enough he did but you just never saw it because the thread is moving to fast.

well, that is just metatcritic for you...a conglomerate of some of the most critical minds in the industry.
That is why it is so rare that a game makes 90+ (unless your Nintendo
)Don't worry if MGSV fails I will gladly eat my crow.
You doubting MGSV, son?
I think it'll get better but their output has been a little disappointing so far.

Not really, Forza is the highest rated game on the XB1 which is a yearly "sports" game as well, followed by Sunset Overdrive which has the same score as Infamous. Then after that the rest is in the 70s

Yup, I'm not evem going for Platinum (I never do anyway lol), but definitely going to finish this quickly and get some cash back for Bloodborne. Plus I'm only paying $20 for this due to trade credit I have at Gamestop.
I agree
Although, you are one of the prime sources of hype for Metal Gear stuff, so it could be argued against you as well
but I was already excited for TPP

Him playing the game actually would as I would take his review more seriously than a review site. I mean there are games that were literally released broken that received 9's from some of these same sites so there is that.
I also did not shoot down any opinion of anyone on GAF that actually played the game as some of their negatives were also concerns of mine. I am the one who first stated on this forum that it felt like something was missing during the combat in this game and even after beating the game it left me wanting something more. The game does have flaws that's not the argument. The argument is consistency or lack thereof.
