It's a joke now so reviewers won't feel pressure to give 9s and 10s out of 10 just because it's the cool thing to do.

75 meta.

On the money so far. 

Bit closer than my prediction of 78 for Horizon xD

78, quite obvious really.

wow, you are spot on for the PC edition



No Man's Sky gameplay, The Technomancer story and dialogue's quality, PC-Batman's technical realisation. A long time ago Bioware was God of RPG. Today second party developers.

The issue with staying independent is manifold.  For one, a lot of studios have little in the way of a "war chest" or "rainy day" fund to sustain themselves while seeking independent investment or other means of funding.  They exist from publisher to publisher.  Second, many are not structured for opperating out from uder the auspices of a major corporation.  They don't have the positions and management structure in place to run the company indepdently.  Lastly, a lot of game developers just are not business people.  A lot of developers are similar to a small business owner in that they get into this business cause they like what they do not because they want to run a business.  Most developers lack the management and financial skills and the business acumen to run a business themselves, they depend on the publisher to handle the business side of things.  Being indie dev doesn't just mean developing games independently, it means being a businessman yourself as all that stuff is put in your hands.  Most devs aren't trained for that and don't *want* to deal with it.

Its crazy how well this fits Cdprojects rise, they started selling copied games at an out side market.  They were business first and developers second.

No surprise now they are in their spot while Bioware is in theirs.

WOW those user scores.
3.9 with 301 ratings.
4.2 with 254 ratings.
3.6 with 118 ratings.

People are not having this.

User scores should really be ignored. Most user reviews are written by fanboys or haters and while this problem is exacerbated for exclusive games, well known franchises suffer from it as well.

by fanboys? huh its a multi-plat game.

Maybe theres a few haters... okay alot, but its also possible that people just arnt happy with the game.

Also theres always fans of the series, that ll give it 10 reguardless of if its a good game or not, usually these counter out the haters (on multi plat games).

The reason its user score is low, is because people arnt happy with it imo.

I think that's true to an extent.  But when user scores start to hang below the 4-5 level across the board, that shows me that even the die-hard fans can't or don't want to defend the game enough to keep the game at an average user score.



on exclusives user scores around 6-7 with critics scores of 8+ are generally 0's from fanboys.
Multiplat games generally suffer much less on this "jelous" behaviour.

Also the PC never suffers from this really, and all the user ratings are well below the 6 and when you see the reviews and click their profiles, most gave high scores on the platform they are giving low scores on right now.

Lot of people played this on early access and lots of people are running in to bugs early on. Its not AS reliable, but damnit it doesn't help the view that this game has some serious issues, because it does.

I'm just not understanding why this is a 75. Even though it's rough around the edges it's still evident that a lot of effort got poured into this game. So far I'd say it's a 87 or so. For reference the other 3 are all 95+ and it's my favorite game series of all time.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Not a great score thus far. I will play it post patches and prices cuts.
