Ouch!
Don’t know why I expected anything different. Does MS have a goal with Xbox, real talk? It seems they just in it now because they have the money burn.
Like what are you trying to achieve with Xbox MS?

why am I buying 1x over a PS4 and a NS?

All of this because this scored a 69? Your comment is too dramatic.

Metacritic is 67....oh dear, bye bye Rare. Hopefully the employees can find work quickly.

It is at #2 for the month of March according to NPD. The only thing that is going bye bye is your silly claim.

Sooner or later the publications with "xbox" in their name will run out. And then this will drop even further.

That didn't happen.

At this point it doesn't matter whether its final metascore is 65 or 75. It would have needed to be at least 85 to drive takeup for XB1X and GamePass, probably higher.

Read my reply to Landale.

Eesh. 68 now eh?

 

 

This not so hot score aside, I'm very curious to see what this game's mid-to-long term sales will be. That, along with it's *sigh*....engagement. Gonna throw some sugar on this. Coat it if you will: I am, to say the least, very leery of GAS game models, and the potential for fuckery that comes along with them.

Considering the game is #143 on Amazon, I doubt the legs are going to be great. 

NPD says a different story, it is also doing well in the UK according to GFK.
