As I said, those 3k before the game released does not explain the difference, of course, just that on psn the game also has probably a grade that its higher than it should be at this moment. We will se when more people review it.

As for the 40k reviews on metacritic (I believe already 10k were already erased) its just a bunch of people with too much time in their hands. Giving anything below 5 for this game makes absolutely no sense. From a technical point of view it is a masterpiece and this alone would guarantee at least a 6.

But considering this is a story driven game and in my opinion, along with many others, the story is absolutely terrible, plus the misleading marketing and etc I can understand people giving it a 5-7. 

Below this is pure nonsense or just kids with too much time in their hands.

By the way, believe me the hate is guided mostly to the story, not gender politics. Other games with different genders including left behind are pretty aligned between critics and players on metacritic.

I don`t really believe it is due to the story since most of the 0s and low scores were given before people had time to evaluate the game so it was mostly based on spoiler which doesn`t cover most of the story.

Misleading marketing is reaching, just like people claiming SE lied on their FFVIIR marketing because they made small changes to the story (they had announced the game being multiple releases and with changes to the story for over 3 years).

The story had leaked weeks ago and all the leaks were true. People just didnt know Lev's arc and what happened at the ending of the game. People were already mad at that time. On the week of release the ending leaked and people got even more frustrated althoigh many refused to believe due to how bad it was. Around that time "that"  sex scene leaked. One day before release the footage of the ending leaked amd it was all true. So when people started writing the reviews on metacritic they already had the whole story pinned down including the ending. Believe me its not about gender politics, at least this time.
