I updated the thread title to make it less provocative.

8.5/10 is also still a good score.

Yet what are masterpieces, but fascinating flawed gems?

Oh okay but i dont think it's clickbait review, they are more or less serious, i think most will think the same about the repetitivity and the fact this game is pretty much PW in 3D based on what they say

It can be subjective it's true, Deadly Premonition is considering by a lot, like me, as a masterpiece despite all the flaws because of the deep atmosphere, the OST, characters.

But a game like MGS V focusing on the gameplay and forgetting the story, i think it would be more difficult to consider it as a master piece if it becomes repetitive , unless like JVM says, you play by little sessions to not be bored, they think it's not the kind of game like TW3 where you can play for hours and hours without being bored

Simply because it's not the sum of the scores, but the sum of all their feelings about the game

People have really dumb review structures out there. 1+1 = 3.

Still waiting on Meta in the meantime.

Neh, first reviews generally intend to be wonky which is y its better to see the meta not that it matters for this game since it should be epic regardless

85% is a pretty great start imo

I quite enjoyed Peacewalker of what I played of it and I had lots of fun with Ground Zeroes so judging by this review, that's a good sign. Looking forward to it.

MGS always was flawed to because of the award system, get the best through not actually killing anyone.
