God of War is the game of this generation. Regardless of Last of Us 2 score, it is near impossible to top a game of the magnitude of GOW.

Well even on the technical front and objective you'll find some different balance. Not all reviewers will be able to do (or care) for the same aspects of Digital Foundry or Anandtech.

And certainly a well written review giving a 70 for a 96 could be valid. And that is why I didn't asked about generic score but about the 3 reviewers that had given that score. When that reviewer say the game is better than the previous in every aspect but the story and then give it 26 points less than the average (and over 20 points below the previous game) that is were is the problem in this case. Since you also agree that 70 is an average score on metacritic, a game that is very much above average (and one may dislike the game but see that it is above) then 70 would also be to low for this specific game.

But sure I can concede that a 70 would be harder to be a clickbait review, for those the reviewers would preffer to be really obscene with 4s and the like. To show on the red side.

On the other hand I had a problem with some reviewers on BoTW, they pointed plenty of defects and weakness but still gave a 100. Those should give like 95 if they found that many problems on the game. But in the end giving a number is hard and it is much better to read the critic than to look at the score.

Actually time is our most costly asset. You can easily buy money with time but you can't buy time no matter the amount of money.

Ps4 is sold out in Australia, think you can expect quite a boost in sales from this game

Just buy it if you want to play it or don't buy it if you don't want to play it. Its not rocket science. No need to attack each other for how you feel about the game.

I believe you guys have misspelled Zelda BOTW :P

Hey man I understood what you said. Waiting a little won't cost us anything in the end, we can do other stuff while waiting to confirm if the game is worthy or not.

This thread is about TLOU2 so better not to bring this here.

You take a my words in a very literal way... I cant predict what 1000 reviewers will do. Still i got it right at 96. But now after reading them I believe the user score will be even lower. A dont even want to play the game anymore.

Its also not about GOW and GOT..

You were very direct on reviewers not being allowed to give it less than 90 "because of progressism" and whatnot. And we didn't need 1000 reviewers to have it, in 80 reviews we had 3 70s, 1 85, 4 80s. So 10% of the critics gave it less than 90.

You are free to not play the game and I don't even care. But your reasoning was wrong and you are trying to back pedal on it.

You may not be able to predict 1000 reviewers, but funny enough I was able to predict that at least one reviewer would give less than 90.

Sure isn't.
