Sequels will get lower scores unless they are defining in every way, pretty much change the game completely almost.

New Ip's will be the ones that get higher scores. Ni no Kuni, Last of Us, Beyond all has good chances of doing so. Games like Gears Judgement and God of War Ascension will likely score in the 80s. Bioshock infinite looks different from the rest so it has a good chance of high 80s or 90s. Then there is GTA which we havent seen for years so it isnt repetitive. Sequels that come quickly will recieve lower scores.

maybe so, but do you think if that dishonored released in 2009 it wouldnt have gotten a 95+ meta?

If a game is good it will get high reviews. It doesn't matter when it is released. I mean the one game that comes off the top of my head is God of War II. It was released when the gen ended and it still got like a 93.

thats because GoW 2 blew everything out of the water. it was just insane! and last gen didnt last as long as this when. were now in the 8th year of this gen!



Persona 4: Golden 94 out of 100. From Metacritic, and its a remastered version of a PS2 classic.

No it doesn't. we don't have any new ip's anymore those who usually get high scores. But all we got right now is milked franchise that we've seen a million times before.

If dishonored would have released in 2010 exactly the same as now it would have gotten the same score.  If dishonered 2 came in 2012 then the second would have recieved a lower score.

Games like Blackops 2 and Halo 4 are the ones that would be scoring 90+ if they released a few years ago before their younger brothers.

No - Halo 4 doesn't deserve a 90 or so.
Its not even the best part in the Series so it shouldn't get what every Halo Fan is wishing for.
And it didn't do anything really new to the franchise or Genre.Its just a better looking version of a game that already exists.

Dishonored did great for a new IP but it had its issues.

The Last of Us will probably be one of the last high rated games of this Gen.
It is a completely new IP - It will be insane and unique in its Genre.It will trump with the insanely good AI and graphics.And at the same time it shows the variety of Naughty Dog and how much skill they have.
It will probably be the only game this Gen that comes close to the "Wow" Factor Uncharted 2 had when it got released.

Beyond, Bioshock Infinite, GTA5, and Puppeteer could all get 90+ I think.  Gears and GoW will get mid 80s I due to saminess I think and Sly (too old school), Tomb Raider (Unchartedy), and Ni No Kuni (too tough) could all suffer as well for the wrong reasons.

 The Last of us! :P which I think could end up being nominated GOTY


Well yeah but the previous post already said that so I didn't fell the need to repeat it
