I like how people are acting like no one thought it would be great. Sure the game got a lot of criticism initially but let's be real, just about every trailer released after the game was delayed was met with positive reception and some sort of "Wow this looks really underrated" or "Wow this looks great, it may not be as good as God of War but it still looks amazing". In the thread about Days Gone looking mediocre, it even sort of seemed like that was becoming a minority opinion that was made fun of a lot or disregarded.

Now people are like "can't win them all amirite".

70's is still not a bad score. It's an ok one and on my ranking scale even pretty good. I just think it's funny how quick attitudes changed.

Others, sure, and there had to be some 'sony's killing it so I bet this will be good' bias in there. I always thought it looked mediocre. The last few years has comprised of me going 'I hope I end up liking this because it still doesn't look great' every time a new trailer or gameplay demonstration came out. Felt the same way about Anthem and Destiny and Sea of Thieves and Crackdown and No Man's Sky, too.
