Does it?

Yes, yes it does. People who had an interest in it had it already. People who have never heard of it can now only associate it with some crazy brazilian who constantly speaks about it. You are both LoD's biggest fan and its downfall!

I'm LoD.
Would love to become a trophy like Nomad got for The Last Guardian.

That'd imply Sony would re-release LoD anytime soon...and, well, y'know. I'll leave the thread now.

80 is certainly a decent score, but I feel like these extremely low scores, namely the below 7 ones, are more of a lashing out due to the supposed controversy at QD. I hope not; none of it was ever proven, and it shouldn’t dictate the opinions of the game either way.

What about the three reviews that gave 95%, they clearly failed to capture what the game will offer. If you go read their review and ignore the score, you will see that the critics are simply voicing their valid opinions and concerns.  

That's the beauty of metacritic you take three abnormally high 95's and add in two abnormally low 40's you get .... a meta of 73.  Once you get enough reviews, you will get a proper Metacritic  that will be off by +/- a few point a few over critical score good or bad won't matter. We put way to much emphasis on a number (myself included) and because of our over-reaction low and high score are used for click baits. 

As a fan of Xbox and State of Decay, the metacritic of 68 for State of Decay 2 is a huge concern. Not, because I think the reviewer did an awful job (some of them may of been overly critical) But, a low meta does show that there clearly some problem with the game that has consumers we should be made aware. 

Extremes in either direction can be cause for alarm, but when the general consensus is an "8/10", then a 4/10 is definitely questionable.

Also, with some simple math, the distance between 8 and 9.5 is smaller than that between 4 and 8.

Eh, 7/10 is not mediocre (which means not very good).  

VideoGamer - 4/10
Digitally Downloaded - 2/5
Slant Magazine - 2.5/5
God is a Geek - 5/10

Those are closer to what mediocre is. Considering it will settle around 77/78, I'd say it's doing fine numerically. 

Those guys are obviously retarded. No matter how bias you are giving a game that looks and sounds like this one lower than 6 is just plain stupid. If the gameplay is not for you then why even review it to give a biased score? I have seen some scenes from the game and for what it is it looks very interesting just from the graphics and lighting alone you can tell the level of effort and polish that has gone into it, Not to mention the voice acting and screen capturing.

 

I agree. Some of the low scores are just silly and probably reflect their own biases and dislikes. 

 

OP - a bit disappointed that the score isn't higher - i expected mid 80s which its not going to do. Still going to pick this up though.

I dont necessarily think is the case. In the end the allegations were unproven. Those who have scored it low have generally stated that the storyline / characters etc arent very good. I think they are biased against the game but NOT because of the complaints.

Good, thanks to metacritc argumenting an opinion now means being biased. I'll take note of that.

In the 1950s it was general consensus that white men and black women shouldn't marry each other. If you thought otherwise your opinion was definetly questionable.

Just a practical example of how general conensus is subjected to bias as well of personal opinions. Should we really give all this credit to it?

That is a pretty good score its higher then Beyond: Two Souls.

When the majority of the scores result in an "80", then a 40 questionable. That's the point.

I'm sorry, but you don't see any problem with that?

Since 80 does not represent a measurament but an opinion expressed in numbers, that kind of scheme suggests that everyone should have a similar opinion on a certain subject and if they don't they shouldn't be taken seriosly.
