I did not correlate Astral Chain as "more of the same" game, that was directed at games like Devil May Cry 5, Outer Worlds and Gears 5. Astral Chain entered more in the category of..."it's an anime style niche game from Platinum based purely on gameplay and with a nonsensical story that is not going to sell very well because in reality almost nobody like Platinum games as much as the scores tell" game. And Spider-man...., well, it's a game that sold 13'2M units in less than 12 months and was the 3rd game with most GOTY's in 2018 with 19. More than games like Monster Hunter World (japanese game based in more of the same too like some other example that received a 90 on metacritic), Celeste (which received 91) or Super Smash Bros Ultimate (which received a 93). So no..., i don't think i'm objectively "biased"....i am just "mainstream" it seems with what awards and consumers are saying... Edit: I'm not trying to imply those other games don't deserve the score..., i'm just saying PS games end having better recognition in the end despite having lower scores. |
Well then wouldn't that be unfair to the games that score higher? The fact that Sony games get more recognition even when scoring lower?
It kinda goes both ways I guess. I just don't think Spider-Man would have sold much more with a 95 on Metacritic.
I never really understood the "more of the same" argument. I mean will Spider-Man 2 feature Iron Man as the main character and be a FPS? I mean the reason for a sequel is that people do want more of the same. So what did Uncharted: Lost Legacy do that was so wildly different from the previous Uncharted games?
