The meta score is ok.
But after reading a few of the reviews from people I trust, and how they all agree that this is the best game QD has made so far, it makes the waiting time for the game to become playable (roughly an hour and a half left right now) seem like an eternity.
Heavy Rain was good, despite glaring flaws in the narrative. Beyond Two Souls removed a lot of the branching story gameplay that HR had, but improved the story-telling quite a bit, being more a focused affair. And the overall gameplay (inputs and such) was much refined over HR.
Now it seems like Detroit is taking the best of both. I can live with that, even if the metascore isn't higher than 80. The two PS3 games didn't break score records, yet I enjoyed them a whole 'effin much. So if Detroit is better than both, I really couldn't care less what aggregate it gets in the end. These types of games aren't for everyone. For sure. But many of us here enjoy the style of David Cage's game, despite the flaws. The guy has subtle sensitivities that are his, even though somewhat naive in some aspects, but he's got heart, and his games highlight it.
