So, any predictions on who'll make the lowball score this time?

Usgamer or Washington post, of course.

USgamer already gave it a perfect 100, so now lets wait for Washington post.

I hope it isn't as overrated as it sounds even though I stopped caring for Metacritic all that much.

I've never played Persona 4 but I did watch the anime, gameplay videos, and played and finished Persona 3 Portable on my PSP. I could never fathom how P4 was so well received and is considered the GOAT by a great many gamers coz it just seemed like P3 with inferior story/characters and somewhat adjusted systems. And while Persona 3 was great, I still considered it slightly overrated.

Each to their own but I'm honestly surprised that the incredibly conservative battle system is often disregarded, and at times praised, whenever it concerned this series just because it does other things well. Yet the same reviewers tend to be overly harsh when other games don't do enough to innovate. World of Final Fantasy for instance is clearly an underrated game if the demo is anything to go by.

Pretty sure I'm beginning to sound like a Persona hater but I swear I'm not! P5 was one of my most anticipated games for a long time but I feel reviewers are wanking it compared to how other JRPG's are typically treated.

Hopefully I'll love it to death and eat those words.

P4 has better characters, dungeons, and better overworld than P3P specifically. Events are physically represented rather than avatar and text box. And the battle system doesnt seem that conservative to me. The weakness ALL OUT attacks are series unique, as well as Negotiations and the titular Personas.



Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda!!!!

Wait.... so you were really looking forward to the game but now have your doubts because its scoring so well?



Around the Network

Is Digital Trends included to metacritic?

Because they already scored the game 70. It is a good score but if it's included my 95 will be far off. :(



Another incredible game to play on my ps4 omg!!! Will it ever stop this year?

Best year in gaming ever for me!

Video-game journalism is a business and reviews are an important cog in that machine.  That's just the simple truth.  Positive reviews aren't more trustworthy than negative reviews.  In fact, I get a lot more cynical when I see 10s all over the place.  

That being said, there was a time when you could tell that some people didn't like niche games being ranked up at the top with the big names and big brands.  In that regard, even if a game like Persona has some inflated scores, I'm fine with that because all it does it put it on par with the big budget stuff.

Of course, I don't give much weight to scores or hype to begin with and I'm certainly not worried about where it ranks on some stranger's list of games.  The game sounds like fun and that's good enough for me.  Hype-burn is a self-inflicted wound.  



On the topic of Jim Sterling, his reviews are odd, giving a certified groundbreaking game like Zelda or even Persona 5. Then giving a 10/10 to Deadly Premonition, a game that barely hit 70% on meta.. Also on a side note, the dudes famous now. I had no idea who he was 3 weeks ago.
