Why some people think that the critics have been harsher this gen?

Is there any way to prove this?

Why nobody takes into consideration that maybe the games have been overhyped more that usual, so disappointments are the norm with bigger games?

Im not saying that it isnt true, but im really curious about what people thinks.

I agree with you,people think all good games will hit 90+,but only great games can do that and only masterpieces hits 95 or more,if Uncharted hits 95 what they will say?

Like iceland said, reviews have been harsher this gen compared to last gen.They´ve stopped giving almost every major game an 8 or higher like they were doing last gen.

MGSV was great and deserveful (does this word exist? ) of its score imo.

 

Mmmm... what exactly makes MGSV so deserveful of its score? The unfinished story? The repetitive missions? The plot holes? That dumb tortoise that counted for the 100%? The online mode which was added months later?

I think it's a combination of the two. Score inflation ran rampant last generation. I think the 8th gen is one big make-up call. But I also think games are simply getting worse. With intense focus on advertising budgets, pre-order numbers, and glossy graphics, publishers are setting consumers and critics up for disappointment.

You mean wake up call?

Reception seemed mixed so Im not surprised by the score. Looking forward to playing it.

That's totally unrelated to what I asked, unless your "imo" means "whatever the Metascore says".

People who love story-driven games will appreciate this game no matter metacritic.
I enjoyed the order and would have bought quantum break if it was on ps4.

We are debating opinions arent we?

In my opinion (and the press) the game deserves the score, in your opinion (and the minority) it is not.

If we made a poll, i would get more votes than you, but at the end of the day they are just opinions, like all reviews.
