The same way Kirby's low meta is affecting its sales.



It's probably the second biggest game in the first half of the year behind monster hunter, it's going to sell a ton. The low 80's score is still a good score and around the same as far cry 4. Don't think it affects anything. I think k the only time metacritic/reviews really affect things are with lesser games that end up being surprisingly good (inside, cuphead, a way out) or if it gets really underwhelming reviews ie battlefront 2

Can I just report this? This just hurts. 

Edit: Christ this thread is so pointless. 81 is considered bad? lol cancelling a pre-order over a meta, get real. 

Why would you report it? I'm just point out that the game has been advertised and shown as a Christian killing simulator and doesn't have much changes from other Far Cry games so that led to the very low scores which can cause the game to flop.

Far cry primal got a lower score and was actually an spin off, it still sold great, 81 is not even a low score lol



Imho, lower 80s (80-85) is a good score.
Games under 75 are the one that are low.



I don't know about the game, but your title already affected me deeply.



I just played and beated A Way Out (another new game with the same Meta Score) with a friend today and loved it.

I dont believe thats a low score at all, for me low would be below 70.



it doesn't matter, is it a bandwagon mainstream shooter thats advertised online well? yes 

it will sell well.. nuff said.
