Sully_The_Best on 17 February 2015

Pros:

+Great atmosphere.
+Incredible graphics
+Quick gameplay

Cons:

-Very short game (7 hours long, 3 of them being cutscenes and QTE) (like 90% of the games)
-QTE everywhere ( No problem )
-Poor replayability (This is subjective)
-Very bad timming because the game interrupts the gunplay with lots of QTE ( QTE is gameplay)

Still Day 1 for me

How anticlimactic. After all the hatred and defending, it just ends up being merely mediocre.

Based on this score, I expect a Metascore in the 60s. So ultimately it's going to end up below the range of mediocrity and fall into the category of complete shit.


I was expecting you to have ready some witty reply for me, but you didn't

You have higher IQ than he, so he can't possibly outsmart you in this sense.

Actually, 60 would be above average on a 0-100 scale.

Other reviews from these guys for comparison:

Infamous second son: 8.5 (meta 80)
TLOU: 10 (meta 95)
Killzone SF: 7.5 (73)
Titanfall: 8.5 (86)
AssCreedU: 8.0 (70)

They usually score slightly higher than eventual meta.

Hopefully it ends up like KZ:SF raher than ACU. There is also the possibility that it will buck the trend like Titanfall, but I doubt it.

Sounds fair enough. I have no quarrel with QTE so it won't be a negative for me (unless the final boss or a major boss is QTE exclusive)
I'll get my money's worth if I enjoy the game and what it offers. I usually only play A new game for about an hour a day (If it is fairly linear, like TLoU and Uncharted) to elongate the over experience, makes me look forward to my next play if the game is interesting enough.


sorry but...It is.


is that a spoiler? What's wrong with you?

I am pretty sure he knows that. Videogame reviewers tend to use that scale differently though. 7-8 seems to be about average for games right now.

Welp gg, why the hell do they keep making games like that. What's the point



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

How is a 7.5 mediocre? There are other numbers below a 5 you know.

Wait, did i tell you who is the boss? did I tell you something from the story? Of course not, I´ve been warning you about some mechanics saying "it is" , and i´m not the first one to say it in this forum, calm down...
