I expect Devil's Third to be the franchise that takes up the Metal Gear Solid banner and runs with it into the next era of video-game lore.

It might be a bad game but it is getting worse scores than it probably deserves. Probably should be around a 50 at least.

I agree, some of the scores seem needlessly low...but I guess there was a lot people were expecting from it and it really did not deliver. Like, it sounds near broken in places and completely unplayable.

Releasing a broken game isn't good.  That should never happen.  However, some games have been released with pretty bad glitches yet still got good scores.  I can think of Skyrim on 360 for one.

Just goes to show that mid tier budget games have a hard time competing against AAA games ...

Not necessarily. but this game tried to present itself with AAA-graphic and effects and falls short. I think Itagaki aimed too high.

I dont trust these reviews, i am pretty sure the game is okay. It has more content and value than until dawn for example and better graphics than gears remaster. Metacritic is not reliable theydont even allow japanese, korean, taiwanese, russian, arabic or latin american review sites to take part in the score. Just look at the sites they have they are all western, most noticebly anglo american sites

I can honestly not figure out if this post is serious.

Well, one thing is for sure, if Metacritic would include Famitsu scores the meta would be abit higher

I wasn't really interested in this game anyway.

Because we'd all rather play a 007.

The games gonna have glitches does that mean it's a 2/10? Fuck critics. Game looks fun and not cash-in.

So as expected the game reviews are terrible.

If I am going to be totally serious for a second, I think the reviews to this game is yet more evidence that you should pay attention to previews as indicators of how a game will be reviewed. You can't pay attention to the static, like Famitsu's review -- you have to look for the general trend.

Previewers thought The Order: 1886 was incredibly bland and mediocre before it was released. Its scores indicated that, despite people thinking it would score much higher.
Previewers found Until Dawn to be endearing and enjoyable, despite it being demonstrably flawed before it was released. Its scores indicated that, despite people thinking reviewers would eviscerate it.
Previewers described Devil's Third as an absolute abomination before it was released. Its scores indicated that, despite some people thinking it would still be good.

Now, if I'm going to make a prediction following these guidelines, I'm probably going to go with (and I am going to get a hell of a lot of flak for this) Xenoblade Chronicles X. Almost every indicator suggests that, while it is still good, it is significantly less good than the original. So, we should expect that it will score significantly lower than the original (85-ish should be expected).

If it turns out that it's amazing, and light years better than the original, I will happily back down from my argument.
