Divinity os 2 has a very small number of reviews, so there is more possibility of a bigger gap in scores. However, Tomb raider has 40 reviews each now and it still hasn't evened out....its not a coincidence. 

Keep in mind in that in addition to timed exclusivity, the sottr also called the tlou graphics fake, all the more reason for PS4 reviewers to have a grudge on him.

Despite PS exclusives, Xbox and PS4 share 95% of their libraries. The "PS has move quality exclusives" is true, but if that affected the reviews most games would have a bigger difference in there metas, not just one game. Stop with the tin foil hat speculation, please.

I'm the same as you. Not desperate to play and I've a ton of other top quality ps4 games to play both exclusives and multiplat.

I'm not avoiding their games because of a protest. I'm avoiding because i lost interest while they were not on my platform. They missed their chance. Same with pubg. 

Tomb raider still sold very well on ps4 despite the delay. Better then xbox version even. But they surely lost a ton of sales being late. I speak for myself when I say I've lost interest in the series not everybody on ps4. 

Since Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition doesn't come out until January the 11th I might buy this sooner than planned. If its on sale for a decent price digitally with all the DLC on Black Friday I will probably buy it then.

Well within the context we are talking about, most reviewers are NA/EU based so the Japan/Asia only games don't count in this scenario, since they aren't really a factor here.

And you really think VR counts? Those games are gated behind a peripheral that costs as much as the console itself, those don't count in the slightest. Same as kinect games. I'm talking about real games here.

Yes, you're right in that when we include Asia/Japan exclusives then the percentage is much lower, but those really aren't applicable here.

And reviewers do sometimes rate a game higher/lower cause of malice/biases. Far Cry 5 got got a low review score from quite a few because it didn't try to make a political statement that antagonizes the rights. 

Chazore is completely right on this one. The timed exclusivity, plus the smack they talked to Naughty Dog is huge factor in the discrepancy in the metascore. It's clear as day. 

I wonder if ps4 reviewers are viewing it through uncharted-tinted lenses where subconsciously (or overtly) they are comparing it to the UC series. Or on the flip side maybe PC and Xbox gamers haven't had that comparison. 

Or it could be that after ROTR was delayed on ps4, there is a bit of ill feeling towards its successor (even if subconsciously.

Very interesting  

though that was before they talked shit about Naughty Dog, may I add. And the PS4 game was actually better due to it having all of the dlc content.

In this case, it's the exact game. Hear me out: EXACT SAME GAME. A six point difference doesn't just happen out of thin air, it usually happens when reviewers prefer one game over another. This just screams fishy.

most likely both of those factors combined, imo.

Why are people claiming saltiness with PS4 owners? Two points: 1. The PC version is already down to an 81 after only 10 reviews, and based on history, the more reviews a game gets, the lower the score becomes; so, the PC score will likely resemble the PS4 score more than the XBO score. 2. One could conversely make the argument that XBO reviewers are inflating the scores bc the series has come to mean more bc of its timed exclusive history.

Anyway, TR1 had excellent combat but little else. RotTR felt very similar in combat/gameplay to TR1 and still had a poor story (albeit better than TR1) and uninteresting characters. I lost interest in this series, and the scores for this game are not changing my mind.

Maybe it's because people can actually hold a grudge. We both know that different people hold different standards, and I'm going to be honest ehre, I've pretty high standards of what I'd like/expect to see in AAA video games, and those aren't PS4 based, and I'm not alone on that either, so no, it's not really some nutcase conspiracy, people have actually displayed holding grudges both on here and on other sites for years. 

Then it's clear that a game can appear bad to some folks on one system, good on another. There isn't one base thinking a game is shit, thus making the game shit by textbook definition. 

I don't see it as a missed chance tbh, because we've seen this across multiple platforms for years. It's like saying it's only a missed chance when Sony is excluded for a period of time, which is really stretching it.

RotTR was also supported on X1X was it not?, which I imagine would make it the definitive version on consoles.
