| LegitHyperbole said: I gave that game a 10, I over looked the VA and story, my rating scale hits snags like that when a game is a madterpiece on many levels but falters in others. Here the lipsync being the only flaw which alleviates and becomes a non issue after a few hours and Ben Star being Ben Star is a bit oft putting but it's near flawless at release. Like trying to find flaws and it is hard. Also, here I have the backing of not only journos but the gamers too, wavering between 9.6 and 9.7 user scores and only 10% of people on PS5 have gotten to where the game becomes masterpiece level. It started off great, got phenomenal and just doesn't slow done at getting better on all fronts. This is a whole other story, what I'm playing right now is not even my genre style of game and I love it beyond what words can express, no hyperbole, I like the idea of these games but never has one exceeded an 8, it transcends people's genre tastes and there is so much I could say but I don't wanna spoil it, let's just say the story is on par with the best of the recent golden age of television on all fronts, camera work to performances to... other things I can't spoil. |
User scores on the internet don't mean jack. They usually have a bimodal distribution instead of a normal one (clustered around 0s and 9- 10s), meaning the main factor in a game score is the presence or absence of hate-driven scorers.
Don't get me wrong, I don't doubt the game is pretty good, and who knows, maybe it's the new FF7 in terms of mainstream appeal, just pointing out that maybe the recency factor and you overly liking it might be coloring expectations concerning the game.
