Great reviews. I really believed in a 90% but 88% is still very good. Now 4 million copies sold is guaranteed.

Was expecting 85-90, MP was never critically acclaimed as a franchise, but hey Diablo 2 is on 88 on MC so who really cares about these reviews. People that will buy the game already know who they are.

the only two 90+ games are Mass Effect 3 and Journey so far quite a slow year.

Trials evolution and Fez are also 90 +

Fez aint

Trials is


(If we're basing it off of meta ofcourse ^^)

 

ME3 with 93
Journey with 92
Trials with 91

 

Safe to say that ME3 is the only REAL contender atm... and as far as we KNOW for sure: I think only Halo 4 really has a chance? The rest are mostly just guesses of release dates. And basing it off of history (eg Assassins creed series) it's not exactly 90+.

Assassin's Creed 3 could be the first to do a 92-93 score if they really handle it well I reckon. Besides that I don't see anything except for Halo 4 that's really gonna take a shot at beating ME3 this year at the moment. Maybe if GTA5 releases it could have a shot.

Altough I would love to see Mass Effect taking the GOTY awards again you shouldnt count Resident Evil 6 out. But it looks more and more like very slow year.

I'd toss The last of us in here but I don't believe in a 2012 launch :P.

Last year was the biggest year in this gen seriously (when speaking acclaim etc). Its only natural that the next year is a tad slower. I still had a bit higher expectations for 2012 though I admit.

I expected Starhawk Binary Domain Twisted Metal and Asuras Wrath to score much higher.

I expected ME3 to score higher tbh.
EDIT: And I didn't in one million years see Journey getting 90+ meta XD


I think Mass Effect 3 deserves higher scores I think they just shot themselves in the leg with the day one DLC and the crappy ending altough 93 is pretty good.


93 is pretty good? No 93 is fucking great

But I don't know, my prediction for the number was just a few digits higher. As for Journey, I was like 80ish.. maybe? Had no idea it was that good XD.

Well the game was one of the greatest in gaming history and I was expecting something about 91-92. Have you played Journey? I actually had no expectactions, I havent played it yet so I can´t tell anything about it. I have played flower and it was a good game.

Yeah I played it and LOVED it. But I didnt give a shit until I saw 90+ meta XD

Game is with 88 on meta? how many reviews ? these days 88 is amazing! Day1


Since when?

Since 2010 they are way more agressive they way they review games, look at Uc3 or Gears 3 per example, they are better than their prequels but they have less critical aclaim.

LBP2, infamous 2, Killzone 3 as well.

And GT5 and Halo Reach and the list goes on.

Ever thought maybe it has to do with originality? I mean obviously when you first play the game, they're like "omgbbq".
Once a game gets uber praised like example Uncharted 2, devs take evolutionary steps rather than revolutionary ones. When you nail the formula and you get praised, you'd be mad to change it much. Which is why KZ3 is so much lower than KZ2. It's almost a step back in a way whereas those that do it decently only get like -2 to -4 "penalty" xD.

ok so it looks like time will prove me right as I predicted 85-87. I'm fucking awesome!! ;)
I'm really looking forward to it, I'll get it tomorrow :)



Game of the year 2017 so far:

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
1. Super Mario Odyssey

UC2, KZ2 weren't exactly original though. 

Well my bad how about "new" to the gen?

Killzone 2 really introduced this uber .. sluggish ..feel in a time when Call of duty was rising.

Uncharted 2 had this set piece shit going on that honestly felt quite new for me. I remember at the time comparing it to MGS4 but thinking that UC2 really allowed you to actually play whilst things happend (you sort of had more control, eg the train sequence and the chopper bringing down the house).

New/unique/original/different/gay
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO CALL IT but they did something that was praised and ofcourse they continued to do so in their sequels but they were introduced here.

Hence why they were rated high and in order to keep people pleased, they made a similar game only better in scope yet ofcourse we knew what to expect.
