Harsh score from Giantbomb:

http://www.giantbomb.com/reviews/gears-of-war-ultimate-edition-review/1900-709/

Singlehandedly dropped the metascore by 3 points.

Just watched Giant Bombs quick look. They said the game hasn't aged well, and it didn't remotely look like a game deserving anywhere close to a 90 score. Mutiplayer looks far better and the main draw for this game.

Weighted average needs to go.

I glanced at it so I guess they have my traffic.  My bad. Anyway, I hate when a review is negative but feels the need to seriously rag on things that really have nothing to do with why they came to their conclusion.

Read the Giantbomb review, one thing that stood out to me was that the reviewer says that singleplayer campaign is running at a unstable 30fps. Is that true? I thought the game was 60 in single and multiplayer.

Campaign was confirmed 30fps. I really hope the PC version isn't.

lol @ the Giant Bomb review. So it's worse than Lips, Watch Dogs, or Beyond: Two Souls?

Go home Jeff, you're drunk.

I am fine with an 82 meta though. It's been almost a decade. Kind of sad how little mechanics in third person shooters have changed, though.

Yeah, I just saw that, weird I was sure it was announced as 60 in both, must have been my imagination.
