You're the one that is arguing the original claim, which is that it exceeded all expectation. You realize 94 is a very high score, but it certainly doesn't exceed expectations. Their last few games were UC2 at 96, UC3 at 92, LOU at 95. Now we're looking at a sequel to a franchise that's among the best reviewed ones ever on next generation hardware that graphically destroys the previous entries. 94 falls pretty well in line with their track record coming in to this, so I don't think it's a stretch to say that 94 didn't blow away expectations. It should have fallen squarely in to expectations for anyone that has been following ND's track record.
And yeah, people were disappointed with MM and WW's score when they released, despite those scores being enormous on their own simply because they fell far short of OOT. After several relerases of lower scores obviously expectations get reset, but that's not the case with ND. They're coming off a 96, 92 and 95 metacritic track record. 94 falls smack dab in the middle of that.

I am confused....so are you saying that it did not exceed anyones expectations or that it didn't exceed your expectations? Because it has clearly exceeded some peoples expectations so how can you say it is hyperbole? You sure are putting a lot of effort into down playing the pinions of others but standing firm on your own...good for you I guess. Not sure how you can say it did or didn't exceed anyones hexpectations but who am I to say that you can't say it...it is your opinion after all

Hi
Anyone that takes a glance at NDs history should not be surprised. 96, 92 and 95 is their recent MC track record. Nobody with common sense should expect much less here.
