I don't like R* and after 40h of TW3 I couldn't make myself like the game.

Also loved Uncharted but TLOU not liked as much.

To tell the truth I prefer SM and GoW over TLOU.

I immediately regret spending all my money in the Days for Play Ps store deals. Shouldve waited for this.

I expected something in the upper 80s - low 90s, this is a nice surprise. ND outdone themselves apparently

The God of War series wasn't up for GOTY for many years and its past releases especially Ascensions didn't cut it, however look what happen with God of War 2018, it just proves it can be done and Halo is a well known franchise that is familiar to success, when done right it can be up there with the very best of them. Obviously more has to be seen however the hype behind the new release is building a lot of tension. Will wait and see.  

That's the problem with GOTY awards, some games get left out due to popularity and Half Life Alyx being a VR only game, only hinders its chances as it wont be a popular choice at the awards. Its why GOTY awards shouldn't be taken too seriously. Well I don't take them seriously.

Ehh I have no faith in 343, whatsoever in making a game I would consider to be the same caliber of 1-3 or even Reach. They do make good games but yeah just gonna leave it there.

You also probably don't take scores to seriously right?

Funny thing seeing the 3 reviewers that gave 70. Their summary and score are very dissociating. Basically the sequel is better than the original in everything but they didn`t like the story as much and some of the chars so let`s deduct 25 points.

They are proud to have lowered the score from 98 to 96.  They feel powerful, you know ;D    Who does care mate.

 This is some of the best time to be a Playstation gamer..  

TLoU, both of them, are story driven games. the story is the main metric for judging this game. I'm just saying here, I haven't played 2 yet, story might be stellar.

Well that's in your own preference of thinking. No one can tell you otherwise.

Erm.. that depends, scores should really only be taken as guidelines. I am loving Command & Conquer Remastered, I don't care if its sitting on a 99 or 49 Metascore. I believe the only true score to a game is the one you can grant yourself with your own experience with the game. 

I agree on not liking R*, also love god of war better than anything else. I loved the first TLOU, Im still waiting on this one. Loved TW3. 

But thats the thing, look at our preferences. everyone has varied taste, but we have to admit that certain games have an appeal that has broader reach. Even if we hate R* their games are loved by many. Its like COD, many people play that game sure, but how many love it? or how many would play it if its not a type of game they would like to beging with? Thats the kind of thing that speaks quality. For me to hate a certaing type of game, but then a game comes along that even I have an interest in playing, even months after I get it on the bargain bing. Cuz let me tell you that I would not play a COD or Fifa even if it was free.
