Much lower score than I would have predicted. It's probably means an end to the series.

A bit disappointing. I'll probably rent this at some point.

For those expressing disappointment, may I ask what you're disappointed about?

Because I'm getting the impression the answer for some would be "the score," which is something that bothers me.

Yeah, I'm disappointed in the score. Was expecting it to be quite a bit higher than the low 70's. That isn't me saying the game is bad by any means of course.

I'm not usually one of those who says crap like 'don't listen to reviews, judge for yourself, bla bla bla', when a game they're excited for gets middling reviews. That's head-in-sand stuff and I've got no time for it. The Meta average more often than not tends to be a good indicator of a game's quality (give or take 5 or so points), but Mirror's Edge is a rare exception.

The original divided review opinion quite a lot (Meta of 79, vs current Meta of 73-75 for Catalyst), yet the game itself is one of the most beautiful, memorable, and deep (in gameplay terms) titles of the last generation; one of only a handful that made a lasting impression on me. So for that reason this reboot really is a game I'm going to have to play for myself and won't be reading reviews for.

Translation: People who reject the Metascore (as an indicator of quality) for a game they are interested in are deluding themselves. And so will I for this particular game.

Lots of people disappointed in the beta on neogaf too.

Think it will turn out to be a mistake on EA's part, I imagine this is one of those betas that has lost sales for the game

Why does a lot of that sound like "I'm lowering the score because it doesn't live up to my feelings of nostalgia"?

 

 

this.

I saw this coming honestly, the first one gets boring after a few hours and this looked like it was gonna get boring even faster.

If you think critic reviews are bad, take a look to the user reviews : 3.9 among 400 users in Ps4, then 3.1 and 3.2 on the Pc/Xbo.

I mean... I haven't played it yet but looks like this is not gonna be great.

Certainly about 10 points lower than most thought.

Will check out the trial when EA Access becomes free during E3.
