| colafitte said: I understand that this game doesn't revolutionize the genre nor bring production values to the next level, but when i hear some critizised points about the game, all of them except frame rate/bugs problems can be said to a lot of other open world games, specifically a game like RDR2. RDR 2 had awful combat, mediocre mission design, useless economy system, broken bounty system, irregular story, empty open world (you only do something if there is some ? pointing in the map), .... and that game received a freaking 97 on metacritic.....I'm still pissed of by that. The double standars in the press are something that i can't accept anymore. If Days Gone is nitpicked for everything and it gets a 75 on metacritic, RDR 2 should had been a 80 game at most too. The Evil within 2, a game that received a 75 on metacritic was a game unfairly rated by the press too and it was ono of the best game in the genre ever. I don't know if there is some bias about the zombie genre or what. |
I absolutely agree with you, Metacritic/opencritic is not a good way to determine if you would like a game or not, find reviewer you can trust but why are you only criticising traditional games media?
I don't trust most traditional games magazines because their reviews are often intransparent, clickbaity, over hyping and badly written but suprise, suprise so are most youtube videos the difference is that YouTube videos where you see the reviewer often create this false authenticity that a written text can not produce.
I personally have roughly two handful of reviewers I trust because I follow them for a long time and know what their preferences are and if they match mine. Among them are traditional gaming magazines, youtubers and podcasts.
