Forums - Gaming Discussion - is it impossible to get high metascores so late in this gen?

Tagged games:

No. In a gen where shooters have dominated, people will want something else. Thats why P4G, Journey and Walking Dead score so high and get GOTY awards and not AC3, CoD or Halo.



Around the Network

All broke the 90 metacritic in 2012

Persona 4 Golden

The Walking Dead
Mass Effect 3
Far Cry 3
Journey

XCOM came close


AC3 was not an evolution. The first 6 hours of it was boring, which is why it probably got docked a lot of points.

Halo 4 is a graphical upgrade but nothing really new for Halo in terms of gameplay

No - Halo 4 doesn't deserve a 90 or so.
Its not even the best part in the Series so it shouldn't get what every Halo Fan is wishing for.
And it didn't do anything really new to the franchise or Genre.Its just a better looking version of a game that already exists.

Dishonored did great for a new IP but it had its issues.

The Last of Us will probably be one of the last high rated games of this Gen.
It is a completely new IP - It will be insane and unique in its Genre.It will trump with the insanely good AI and graphics.And at the same time it shows the variety of Naughty Dog and how much skill they have.
It will probably be the only game this Gen that comes close to the "Wow" Factor Uncharted 2 had when it got released.

That is heresy. The MP shooter fans might have their own opinion of Halo. But as a fan or the campaign and especially lore, I can tell you the consensus is that Halo 4 is the best in the series.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Except Far Cry 3 which is a shooter and has a 90 metacritic *rolls eyes*



It's just that simple.
