I meant 67 with my meta prediction not 77!! I SWEAR IT WAS A TYPO

XD

From what I am seeing in the reviews this game is exactly what I was expecting. An interactive movie. Something I can play and have my fiance watch and enjoy. It also seems to have a better storyline as well.

The scores will not keep me from playing this game.

I'm rather pleased with the review score, to be honest. The only way to get a very high review score is to offer pretty much standard gameplay and focus. Anything different and you get polarization, which is fine by me.

Honestly, that's why anyone going solely by Metacritic score is going to be as adventuresome as a turtle. The reviews are up and down, just as I imagined they would be.

I agree with you here.

 

These reviews are also very easy to understand as well. Simply put, most of the low scores are from people who do not like the interactive movie experience that BEYOND is trying to bring to the table.

If you are one who does enjoy that, then the content of the review can easily be interpreted differently.

Now, of course that works the other way around, but it is nice to see different view points.

 

 

Although we all know if they kept the storyline, put a gun in her hand and moved all Aiden powers into attacks placed in the shoulder buttons and had it play like Gears then it would at least be 80-83 right now.

Why is destructoid still allowed on metacritic? Lol 5/10

Jim Sterling pretty openly dislikes David Cage and his approach to games, so that score isn't surprising.

More like Sterling actively hates Cage.  He rants on and insults Cage often, in a way that goes far beyond professional.  I can't believe anyone would even count a Jim Sterling review of a David Cage game.

David Cage's wish of being bought up by Sony is probably squashed now that he is a one trick pony. $27 million dollars down the drain.


What the fuck are you talking about? This game will certainly make that money back and most. of the reviews are positive if you read them. Most complaints are A. Interactive movie. Which, really is a stupid complaint being that its been well known for... 5 years now? And B. The story is told out of chronological order which is a weird decision. But i doubt many movie critics woyld complain about that being that tons of movies are told that way

Just cancelled my pre-order. I wont get this game from the online store anymore. My friends will all laugh at me for having a game that is under 75 meta.

Better luck next time QD and Cage.

After Cage came out on stage basically saying emotions are the most impotant aspect in gaming and the only way to convey emotion is with better realistic graphics.



It will drop below 70

Quantic may not become an official member of the PlayStation family now..

I definitely don't want any studio in the PlayStation family to be one that produces garbage/rubbish. Zipper was closed SuperBot didn't make the cut, United Front Games(LBP Karting and Mod Nation Racing devs) had a potential shot at one point but also didn't make the cut and now QD might have missed their opportunity

I'm not sure if Beyond isn't getting much love because it's garbage or because of something else


I guess Quantic Dream could still become one of the newest members of the PS family depending on why Beyond scored lower than expected
