So it sounds like the game tries too hard to be the sort of game Sal.Paradise wants to play. Salp.Paradise is pleased.

All according to keikaku.

If oot was made today, it wouldnt havê 99 in metacritic.


well yeah, cuz it wouldn't be as innovative as it was in the 90s, thus the high score :)

It's also only got 22 reviews. If it were made today then it would get like double or treble that amount which would definitely bring it's meta score down a bit.


its all excuses, yes if it released today it be lower, but it was made at the time where it was complete innovation. There is no need to bring back older games and compare them to todays standard. 

If LoZ OoT was being made today, it wouldn't be OoT, it be Zelda U. Thats mypoint.

The game is still at 84 on the Xbox one with 10 fewer reviewers...which is cool and a score I suspected to be originally. It seems, at least from reports from GAF, the game plays better on Xbox (maybe due to a massive day one update)

Well see when more reviews come in where this game settles.

Most reviewers give the same score on X1 & PS4, eg.  Polygon gave 6.5 but they're just not included in X1's reviews on Metacritic yet.

I'd go with IGN's opinion (87) over other sites.



My 8th gen collection

Unh? Goty? No. Watched the first hour on twitch. The score looks right. As.does driveclubs score and destiny.

Good games still getting praise. Look at forza horizon 2 and titanfall. Bayonetta 2 another one. Evil within is good, but not great from first hand experience.

Reviews are spot on this gen.

The awesome thing about all these popular games flopping on metacritic is that maybe it'll make people stop taking that site as gospel.

Or it will fix people's perception of 70-80 rated games being mediocre...

How does Metacritic manage to pick reviews that make the X1 version have a full 8 points more than the PS4 version?? (84 vs. 76...)

saw 2 reviews that

one from gametrailer ( the dude is a massive resi 4 fan and s am i ) - great score
one from IGN ( the ladie likes survival horror genre too i like her reviews ) - good score

dont need to see anymore review to be honest with you guys. Game is great, reviewers are becamin g a joke.

87 is only a "good" score now? Come on, that is a great score. 90+ is amazing, 80+ is great. 70+ is good. 60+ is average. 50+ is mediocre. less than 50 is below average, bad and terrible

This game could be 21 in metacritic for all I care. I'm going to get it regardless, and I'm just tempted to go to the store right now and grab a copy. (But 54 euros... haven't spend such amount on a single item in a long time now :/)



It seems like 76 is all the rage these days. Or games in the 70-79 range in general.

Which is a shame. My favourite game from last gen on the 360 version is 75 in meta. I don't understand the 55-79 metacritic hate range.
