I guess Respawn saw this thread :)


Lol, that would be funny if they did and it actually had an impact!

BTW any bets on how many threads we're gonna get with different reviews and with OP's opinion if the game is doomed or not based on the specific review.


My opinion?  I dont really have one... Other than worry I guess...



I will be stunned if it doesn't get many great scores given how so many in the gaming press where reacting at E3 and have continued since hyping it. I expect it to do high 80s, low 90s. Anything below 85 would be surprising and below 80 would be stunning.

Is this another attempt to downplay TOG?
People already played Beta, the question in the the head of people interested in the game is:
HOW THE EFF CAN I GET THE CUSTOMIZED CONSOLE.

Not reviews... 2 million people played the beeta and got hyped even more.

THIS!



I dont think the reviews are bad, but no way will they live up to the lobbied hype from xbox fans. Im guessing an 80-85 metacritic which is respectable but i think respawn fears that people will be dissapointed if it doesnt get 95+

Embargo lifting right as the game is available... I dont think that is a very good sign at all...


What? Many great games had embargos, now it's a bad sign?



When did TLOU's embargo lift? I recall it being relatively late as well.



Really hard to review a game like this anyway until they know the servers are optimal. If anything, they shouldn't review it until a week in. Hate when sites constantly change a review based on their online experience, just hold your god dang horses. But you know too many sites are going rush to post.



You guys shouldn't put so much weight into all the reviews. All you Xbox One owners had an opportunity to play the beta. If you enjoyed the beta BUY the game. Don't worry about what the reviewers say.

Most of you probably missed out on games you would have enjoyed quite a bit because the reviews weren't 9s down the board. Some of the games I had the most fun with last gen scored in the 70s and low 80s on metacritic.



Idk man idk I mean it's the GOTG is supposed to get 200% on metacritic and of doesn't I won't buy game! Will buy Zoo Tycoon instead.
