Tomb Raider only had 87?! Thought it was 90+.


One cannot keep a 90+ meta. Hipsters come by 6 months after release to say there is too much water and that the new Lara is a fantasy designed by serial rapists.

Excetly what he said "SquEnix haven't made a good game since FF12."


Exactly why I'm correcting him :P

Out of how many total releases? Genuine question.


36 if you count publishing games like Advanced Warfare on Japan.


That's kind of an awesome ratio, as 80+ meta is considered "Great"

Edit : added to OP

Not really...+90 is considered great.

As a company it has an average metascore of 72  

http://www.metacritic.com/company/square-enix?filter-options=games&num_items=30&sort_options=metascore

68 is the average metascore game companies have so it is doing a little better than average..

Capcom is at 73

90+ at release is possible. 90+ don't stay for long if you're not nintendo.

90+ is game of the generation, 80+ is a great game. Good game is 80+. 

Or do you consider Tomb raider reboot and Deus Ex human revolution "good" games ?

Fair enough they published some decent games, but made lots of crap games.

80+ is more than decent.

Name crap without using 13, XIII or latest.

They've published a lot of great games this gen. Just Cause 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Hitman Absolution, Sleeping Dogs, and so on. Their Japanese output has been pretty awful though.


Their japanese output on handelds was godlike.

Bravely Default 1-4 = 8.5-9/10

Bravely Default 5-8 = 0/10

Bravely Default combined = 5/10

I'm serious here. What they did was absolutely revolting. Such a shame because the game was really great up to that point. It could've ended right there, the game length was decent even if you cut chapters 5-8.

Let's hope Bravely Second does it differently.

That's 8th gen =p

I can't confirm or infirm your saying as I still have to play the game (just got my 2DS, own 0 3DS game)
