Forums - Gaming - MK8 Is the Highest Rated Next Gen Game So Far This Year :) Will Any Games Top It, If so Which One(s)?

Hmmm, am i losing something here? When people got so confident on Arkham Knight? After Origins... dunno if it would be my pick.

Destiny can make it, but i am still unsure about how the MMO concept is going to affect it.

Watch Dogs, if really good, but by now people already lost the hype and start to grown skeptical about it.


X, Smash , Zelda (if it happens), FFXV (if a miracle happens) and Sunset Overdrive (Actually a good contender). Bayonetta 2 would be a big surprise, but the original does have 87 on PS3 and 90 on xbox.

Out of the games that have an actual release date, I think that Destiny has a chance at achieving a high metacritic score. Arkham Knight is a wild card because Rocksteady Studios is returning to develop the game, with Kevin Conroy returning to voice Batman, and the story following about a year after the events of Arkham City.  In other words, I wouldn't try to predict Arkham Knight's success off of the reception of Arkham Origins.

I really have a feeling if the Order comes this year it will.

I think Destiny probably has the best shot. After the outrageous review scores that were given out last Generation, many reviewers have discovered that there are numbers below a 7, and giving a game 6 still means it's above average. It's nice to see. I do agree that "Indies" get their own review scale from critics. For me, they are like the artsy fartsy movies that get nominated for the Oscars. Most of the movies that get nominated I find boring as hell. But every once in a while there is a gem in there.

You know what? Metacritic sucks anyway. It gives the false impression that every review source has the same scoring standards as everyone else.

Rayman Legends 90
http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/rayman-legends


92 on the WiiU and 91 on X1 ;)

It's really a port of a 2013 release btw...



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Towerfall (PS4) is in second with an 87


That is a port from the Ouya so is not current gen!

 

I think Destiny has a good shot at beating Mario Kart 8.


But Ouya is current gen...

Destiny...



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Smash Bros 4, X and Destiny are the safest bets!

A Nintendo fan who thinks indies aren't games?  Now I have seen everything.  Twice.  In one thread.

Actually, indies are games. It's just that on Nintendo systems this nowadays pretentious label doesn't get thrown around to describe these games, hence why people like tbone think that they have to hate indies (he assumes they are exclusively a non-Nintendo thing).


indiesI dont hate indies, nowhee close. I made a 3ds meta thread yesterday and didn't add pushmo 91 to the opening.

Also Dillon Western Roll is one of my favorite 3ds games. I just wanted to do a list without ports/remakes/indies.

Maybe im wrong, but it seems some people get mad. I think its more cuz of the vita? Its heavily an indie HH. Like i said before, not trying to get anybody mad but its main games that we kno, not necessarily indies :-/

Ex: Comparing tv shows with 1-2min clips (clips being Indies). Not everybody wants to categorize all of it together

You know Vita much be the only system in the history of gaming to be become the exact opposite of what it was intented to be. AAA home console experience on the go < Indie heavy haven
