Forums - Gaming Discussion - Metacritic Game of the Month, Apr 2016 Dark Souls III!

Megaoverlord12 on 25 May 2016

Around the end of every month, (I didn't for April because... I'm lazy) I make a thread conveying the best rated games on Metacritic. Minimum 10 critics, not including late ports (like Rise of The Tomb Raider on PC, for example), "definitive/complete/game of the year" editions, individual episodes of episodic games, DLC, or game collections. I do include remakes/remasters and complete collections of episodic games. For multiplats, I use the version with the most critics. In the event of a tie, I currently use the game with the most critics.

It's sad that Star Fox Guard, the tower defense download game, did better than Star Fox Zero... Ratchet & Clank did as well as I had hoped. Quantum Break... did not.

Thoughts?

Quantum Break is great so far for me but i see why it got marked off where it did. Ratchet and Clank did better than expected. I loved it. :D

Part of me just wants to get QB to support Remedy for an eventual Alan Wake 2, but it's rather low on the list of XB1 games I really need to get (behind The Witcher 3, MGSV, Rise of the Tomb Raider, DOOM...). I expect R&C to be the first game I get when I get a PS4, and I'm quite pleased that it's better than the movie.

The users are more educated than the reviewers these day, better indicator tbh



Why i left PC gaming

 

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

(2015) The "I don't care PS4 is the most powerful console" thread

I guess that 7,1 user score on Bravely Second is due mostly for that ''famous'' localization. I've almost finish the story and it's really one of the good JRPG I've recently played in years.

Yep. Pretty sad for StarFox Zero :P Having a blast with it though ^^

And it's stuff like that for why I'm skepitcal of user scores for games with localiztion decisions that piss people off. I intend on getting it as soon as I'm done the original.

Deserved!!!




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Socket & Clink did so well.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Dark Souls 3 was an amazing game
