Not all scores are counted, with this instance, 3 of the most critical reviews for this TLOU2 havnt been counted such as Kotaku, Polygon and Skill-Up. So technically this game wouldnt be a 96 or 95 if everything was accounted for hence why its not accurate. Same for User scores, its all just bias opinions.

So perhaps the professional reviews is 1 or 2 points innacurate because of some companies not giving reviews or weights compare to over 50 points innacurate on the users review because?

I am not here to debate why, i am just saying it's not entirely accurate as it shows. As for the User Reviews, they should be never taken serious aswell. As mentioned, majority are bots, good and bad scores.

Sure it isn`t accurate, but when you put it on the same post it seemed like you were putting on similar level.

Yeah I believe that's where a little confusion came from. My apologize for the badly written post.

Haven`t received mine yet. Waiting for it.

My friend yesterday was almost at the end and although agree with the "teen drama" and was worried about the SJW leaks and whatnot, but have been loving the game and said it have been the best of the gen so far.

Please tag my wall so I can remember to ask you how you feel after completing half of the game or so. I'm curious now where you'll land and for the other comment about the boring day to day life things, nah, it's clear that wasn't the intent but I won't spoil things. 

Will do.

Don`t mind. After you explained I understand. Metacritic can be very different from our personal opinions on the game, and even different from the real quality of the product.

I just got to the ending of the game. Yeah, I can definitely say the critics were paid off/shilling. The writing IMO is total hot garbage. That ending was so bullshit. It puts everything that has happened in this game to absolutely fucking nothing and wastes everyone's time. Characters are also flat out annoying and unrelatable. Some scenarios are also overused and really dumb. There were several sad attempt at manipulating players for sympathy.

Yes sure... I can imagine the thinking, TLOU2 is 95 from 1st to 24th hour, but then in the end is so bad it should be scored a 40 on the entirety. And narrative driven games is about manipulating your sentiments.

I will say this once again. It is a 5-6/10 for me. Despite me hating its story, I still cannot emphasize how damn beautiful the visuals are. It really is a tragedy. There were moments in this game that hit hard and I felt were really close to the first game. But sadly, it just wasn't enough to make up for the everything else because of how the whole story is.

For me, I will just say, this shit never happened. I will reject this reality in my mind. :P

Have you played the game or watched YT? And please give your score for other triple A games so we can put it in context.

I've not finished yet so I'll reserve judgement until then but I will say that people having a different opinion on something than you does not mean it isn't genuine and they were paid.

That's an incredibly immature and puerile conclusion.

The last Review on Meta since yesterday, from BaziCenter ; 100/100. Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore.
