I wanted to respond but I think my brain is too hurt from reading this to do so.

Most of the reviews i've seen bashing the game spent one or two paragraphs talking about gameplay, and the rest were pretty much criticising it's political message and how it was handled. I'm not a big fan of Far Cry after 4 bored me out of my brain, but i've seen a lot of people having fun with, so i doubt it's a bad game. For those not tired of Ubisoft open-world tropes at least.

Still, 81 is not a bad score at all so in the end the good reviews are still outweighing the offended SJW.

I'm mostly glad these games will do good anyways despite the SJW trash of human beings trying to hate it, shows how insignificant their voices are in the public ear. They may call the most of us racist for buying Kingdom Come and Farcry 5, but really it's just that people want to enjoy games uncensored and without politics around every corner.

I won't get Farcry 5 because I was burnt out by Wildlands, and this is just a first person Ghost Recon Wildlands with Farcry 5 slapped on the box. But it truly isn't a bad game, just not a worthy upgrade from Wildlands in my eyes. I just hope everyone else who buys will either enjoy it or hates it for the gameplay and not the politics. Make the trash SJW's feel insignificant in their little world of make belief.

If 85 is your cutoff, you have missed a lot of great games. I keep my cutoff at 75, usually.

This is still higher than far cry primal, and that sold well, so no, it won't affect sales.

So you mean that even if you're interested in a game and heard good things about it that usually appeal to your general taste, you'll still not give it a chance if it scored lower than 75?

Just asking, as i myself had plenty of fun with games scoring between 60~75.

A metacritic shouldn't influence what games you buy unless the game has scored really low like under 50. 81 is pretty good score anyway.

This op is cringeworthy,8.1 a lowscore wtf!

uh, yeah 95% of games are garbage, they're called shovelware... 80 isn't garbage, but it's really mediocre and not worth wasting a lot of time on.

Wild lands with MC of 90 would have sold way more. MC scores will always infuence sales as they should.

it would PROBABLY sell more, but i doubt it would sell way more, we have FPS like titanfall 2, and wolfenstien 2, That are very highly rated FPS they did mediocre sales numbers, or how about COD:advanced warfare  vs COD:WWII, warfare has a metracritic of 83, while WWII has a 79, yet WII destroyed it in sales.
