I just wish I could play it and the first one. I only do PC and Nintendo devices.

Do you purposely limit yourself to playing on those 2 platforms?

Most Xbox games I can okay on PC, and multi play games I can play on Steam, and Nintendo games (my favorite) on their devices. Kind of silly to spend hundreds of dollars on a device to play one handful (or less) of games.

I imagine everyone is very well off in being able to afford all 4 systems, as well as paying to play online and the premium prices for more than 4 games a month.

Also I could ask the same for just X1/PS4 owners and their secondary platforms. 

I wasn't trying to be snarky or anything like that. I legitimately wanted to know why Dulfite only played on 2 platforms if they game he wanted didn't appear on his platforms of choice.

Btw, I have a PC as well as the big 3. I did that so I wasn't limited by games I would want to play. Exclusives really.

Hmm...I see. I guess others who have only one of the other consoles to play on with a PC or not would feel the same as you do. Sony and Nintendo are a bit different since you can't play their exclusives on PC versus the Xbox. So PC gamers aren't really missing out on Xbox. Just the other 2 if they care about the games on those consoles. I wasn't trying to knock ya about being just PC and Nintendo. I was just wondering why you would have to miss a game you want to play because it's not on any of the console you own or PC.

I didn't take it that way,no worries! Same thing with Spiderman, Zero Dawn, and good of war. I'd love to play them but that's a lot of money for a few games not to mention I've always hated Sony controllers.

Ahh okay. Oddly enough I like the Sony controllers. Well..I hated the DS3. It was Xbox controllers that I wasn't too keen on. Love Nintendo controllers. Well anyway, I hope Sony let's some of their games on PC. I think PS Now is on the PC, right?

I can’t beleive how high this is scoring, some reviewers have seriously let the hype get to them. 97/98!!! No fucking way. This is 80 in my opinion, there are parts of the game that are brilliant but as a whole there’s nothing that special that sets it apart from other releases this gen. madness man.

wow! Crazy! It's almost as if everyone has a slightly different experience with a game and one person's opinion/score may not be identical to another's! 

What a crazy world we live in where an amalgamation of review scores actually encapsulates a range and not literally every single person giving it the exact same score! 

It's almost as if you don't understand how game review works.

That's how the gaming culture has been for a while. The score means a lot to fans. The high scores hype the games, just like great comments and scores hype up movies and TV shows. It's like showing a trailer that shows Nintendo or Rockstar or Naughty Dog, you catch people's attention.

Ultimately, we all need to take things into context, or else we make assumptions that high scores means "that's the game I want." If the reviews themselves do not show anything compelling to you despite the high score, reconsider your decision to purchase the game.



I think the Xbox version went down a point to 97.

Weird that it went down when the number of reviews never changed, anyways, edited the op.

The link below says "See all 31 Critic Reviews".

The thing is slow to update.

Actually the decline happened when it was still the same number of reviews and nothing was submitted. However PS4 had same number of reviews but did go up position.

I think they reduced or added weight to couple of reviewers that made them more valued/less valued, so the PS4/XboxOne Version are closer together in the list at the time.

However now with the 31 critic reviews it has gone to bottom levels of 97 reviews while the PS4 version is near the top of the 97 score reviews. I know some of this doesn't make sense.
