at least you will get a much lower score if you release a game to this time which has the quality of 93% games from 2010.

halo 4 is a good example, if they would have released halo 4 when they released reach, it would have a metascore of 95 or something,
if it isn't a new ip it has to be much better as the games before to get a 90+ score.

next year we will see some awesome score for new ips (i am sure tlou will get minimum 93 metascore but probably even more) and then some who will suffer. gears and god of war as example (i think they would also suffer as main line games)

gta V will be probably much better as IV and because of that it can reach an awesome score even with predecessors. if it would be only little bit better it would also have problems to get even close to gta IV metascore.

well thats one of the questions i wanted to ask but i didnt want to make the OP even longer than it is, would have halo 4 gotten  better reviews if it launched instead of reach? are games like GTA, puppeteer and the last of us going to suffer because of it?
