That review got memed, because that sentence was hilarious. But you realize that exactly this example is countering your stance: No Pokemon game ever has been 90 or more in score, while God of War, TLOU and Uncharted all are above 90. Sony games score incredibly well. Even if another game sells millions more.

You mean the Pokemon games, that are 10 years behind the industry and constanly dropping in quality? Yeah.

Gen 2 deserved high scores at the time but they don't have Metacritic scores so they could have gotten it. Gen 1 would also likely score high because they started it all.

But Pokemon is the RPG franchise with maybe the most simplistic and mediocre storyline/dialogue ever, and nowdays is so far behind the current state of the industry its laughable to think it should be getting scores like TLoU, RDR or Zelda.

And as I said on the post you quoted, Sony games can score incredibly well, like its happening, but not as well as those other games that are labelled the same as they are (Rockstar, Mario/Zelda).

You have several outlets saying TLoU2 is the best game ever/from this gen, and yet it will not reach RDR2 and BotW scores, exactly as I said.

The difference is not big, but it exists, and it keeps proving itself time after time.

TLoU2 is not going to end as a 96, btw.

Maybe those games score better because the reviewers like them better.
