Am I missing something? I thought 90 - 91 on metacritic was considered good? That's roughly what I expected the game to receive anyway. I'm sure it'll still have its flaws, particularly in the multiplayer, but from what I played from the beta, it seems to be the least flawed and most well made of the three.

OMG - I agree with Selnor!

I mostly agree with the OP. Something to add...

I think each game that comes out seems to have more to live up to than older games. If a game has tried something new successfully then it will get a huge metacritic score. The 2nd game that comes out employing that same successful new way of gaming will usually get a lower score because "It's been done before". Its the same in movies.

So now days developers have to be thinking about so much more than game developers 10 years ago. They have to make sure it has immersive game play, compelling story, good graphics, good game flow, good mechanics, originality in game play, ect.

In essense as time goes on the bar gets raised even higher for new game title releases. Game critics will compare games and be more and more strict on what encompasses a good game as time goes on.

I'm sorry.. I only enjoy games with at least a 98 metascore... go away with your 91..

I have it in my Xbox right now. About to install then play.

I hope it's not a measly 91/100 quality...
