Is this a joke thread?

It's stuff like this that makes me hesitant to participate in discussions.

So, it's not the actual game itself that you base enjoyment on then, it's the score that makes you feel that you should be or shouldn't be enjoying a game.

Well could you ever enjoy a game rated 65-70?

I've enjoyed games rated in the 40s and 50s.

Best lart is that this game fantastic. Best FC to date. Anyone looking at this solely from the pov of the scores need to have their head checked.

Wow that is crazy my friend......you are really missing out on some great games then.

Yeah, I skipped all of that except Baten Kaitos because I got that as a gift (and should have skipped it, my review cutoff would have saved me from that godawful voice acting) 

Wow so you really did/have/still do miss out on some great  games. And to be honest that is fine  it is on you and your personal intrests. I think it sucks but to each his/her own. And about Baten Kaitos you said horrible voice acting but said nothing of the game  itself. How did you feel about the actual game?

F5 is imo the best in the series so far from what I've played I think franchise fatigue may have impacted the score more than any issue in game as it takes elements from previous games and combines them in one package, my only gripe so far is how the main quest missions just activate regardless of what you're doing especially Faith's region as you have no control of when it happens.

80 is not a low score either way it's actually quite high but I feel if franchise fatigue wasn't a factor it would have easily scored higher than previous games.

81 isn't low, for the love of god, that isn't a low number!

Gameplay was fun, but I cant enjoy it when the voice acting is so bad. I mean it's like having a movie with a great script but the worst actors you could possibly find - it ruins it.

And Far Cry 5 just had the best launch for the series in the U.K.

200-210k physical only, first week.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

With a 93 Metacritic that would be at least 20-30% more.
