^ Yer I agree anything below a 2 is just troll worthy. I might understand a 3 if the reasoning is good

To be fair a 3/5 is a fairly decent score, it's above average at least. It just looks much worse because he is only giving scores out of 5 while metacritic is out of 100.

Whatever the score is, I can't see it affecting Sunset too much, it's already got like 50 odd reviews, one single bad one can't drag it down that much... right?


I just wish quartertothree wasn't one of the websites that helped found metacritic.  otherwise, a terrible reviewer like that wouldn't even be in the system.

I really hope MS springs a surprise Q1 exclusive announcement on us at the VGA's in December. It'll suck if they have to go up against The Order and Bloodborne with nothing but those marketing deals for Evolve and Witcher 3. I doubt they'd announce a AAA exclusive just a few months before it releases like that, but it'd be nice to at least get a downloadable AA exclusive.


You mean it'll suck going up against Bloodborn. The Order looks terrible

Lords of the Fallen scoring pretty decently with a 77 Metacritic http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/lords-of-the-fallen

Ok they MUST have an MCC bundle coming to US/UK this year ... but why wait to announce it? We're about 2 weeks from launch.

Edit - Maybe it's their Black Friday ace in the hole, $299.

Because there is no reason to have MCC canibilize Sunset Overdrive.  Phil Spencer said he wants exposure for their new ip in Sunset Overdrive.

That'd be awesome



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Yeah, pretty much this.  

Before, I was pretty wary of getting SO with my white x1, but after all of the awesome reviews, I'm going to get both SO and Halo MCC.

Yeah, lack of a Halo bundle does seem pretty odd. All the other countries are getting one, why not Europe and the US?


Because there's already 3 freaking bundles. Phil said there's a limit and Halo doesn't need the exposure that Sunset does.

they're trying to give SO as much room to grow as possible as a franchise.  

and in that sense, I can respect that.
