Metacritic doesn't think so lmao

Well at least this game is actually able to get review scores and people can judge for themselves by playing it unlike you know what.. which just got cancelled...

:/

bouzebbal3335d ago

This game will blow everyone's mind.
It took me months before i could enjoy the first one on Vita.
I got it since it was freebie PS+ and i only started playing it seriously 6month ago. I didn't let go of it until platinum trophy.
I was addicted and the sequel is much bigger much better.

Kurdishcurse3335d ago

such an insecure comment. it amazes me how i got blocked for "getting out of topic" simply by stating that sony extremists are insecure. mostly due to sheep like you that herd towards the closest xbox topic to bash. of course you are amazingly on topic right mods? even the mods are a bunch of insecure wrecks. such a joke of a sight.

TripleCs3335d ago (Edited 3335d ago )

@bouzebbal
Same with me. I got the game for my Vita shortly after it had came out and although I didn't platinum it like yourself lol I did beat it and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. And while I understand that some aren't as open minded and games like this aren't everyone's cup of tea. I definitely don't mind this style of game. I highly appreciate the uniqueness of games like this and The Last Guardian which is another good game that I got the chance to finish during the Christmas break. It's a nice escape from western oriented games that I'm use to seeing. Just wish more people would give these games a chance. I will definitely pick this up later in the future. Right now my hands are full. I'm already getting Horizon which I have pre-ordered and I'm also getting Nier, Persona 5, GT Sport and possibly the Swich (if it's really $250) along with Zelda for Q1 2017. It sucks that I can't get every game I want but such is life when you're making minimum wage, paying for school and living in one of the most expensive cities in the country (NYC).. Definitely need to get my finances in check.. lol

With all that being said, I know I'm not the only one that's going to be broke this year. With the PS4's STACKED exclusive line-up it's impossible not to be broke this year bro

@Kurdishcurse
It's funny you say that because rarely do I ever bash MS, Xbox or even bother going to Xbox articles to leave negative comments bashing the brand or it's games even when the news is really bad and I have the perfect opportunity to do so lol. Case and point.. Scalebound. You haven't seen me on any of the Scalebound articles now have you..? Actually, if you scrolled through my comment history you would see that I barely even talk about the brand at all because I simply don't care for or about the brand that much. You would also see that I've criticised Sony dozens of times on this site. You accuse me of being an insecure Sony cult member and an Xbox hater over one little comment and yet when I take a quick scroll through the first 5 pages of your comment history I see you on a whole bunch of PS articles and I see you doing all this bashing towards PS and things that are PS related and yet I'm the insecure one..? Ok. Whatever helps you sleep at night kiddo...

Really ? Gravity Rush 2 is going to be great game. Game Community doesn't take MetaCritics seriously because how the site handle.

TheOptimist3336d ago

If you have read any of my previous comments on the site, you'll notice that I was being sarcastic xD

moegooner883336d ago

Huh, the game has plenty of 9 scores and higher, which translate to excellent. Try again though, pathetic attempt on your part tbh.

moegooner883336d ago (Edited 3336d ago )

Would you like some chips with that salt ?? Also, did you even check the link ? You give PC gamers a bad name.

TheOptimist3336d ago

No I would like chips with some sugar. Yeah I checked the link, it's 80. Do I look like I care about others lol

P_Bomb3336d ago (Edited 3336d ago )

Is this an attempt at trolling? I knew something seemed off so I checked and a mere 2 weeks ago you were deriding metacritic saying:

"metacritic is the most skewed site for any scores"...

"your metacritic based judgment makes you invalid from the get go"...

"metacritic when will people stop following it"...

"metacritic is s#%*, only people who can't think on their own follow it"

Since when is an 8/10 average bad anyways?

TheOptimist3336d ago

And that's why I added 'lmao' at the end. That's the problem with text based communication. No one can know when someone is being sarcastic.

TheOptimist3336d ago (Edited 3336d ago )

Also the article says one of the best. I would say that anything about 87 would deserve to be among the best of the year from a perspective of metacritic. Personally, yes it could be one hell of a game, the gameplay looks awesome

P_Bomb3335d ago (Edited 3335d ago )

It's a review, not an article. Its under the site's games review tab. Whoever submitted it to n4g did it wrong and marked it opinion piece.

It doesn't say "one of the best". I read it word for word. It does say "2017's first excellent game" which for him it very well may be, unless he's also a big Hatsune Miku fan.

I don't even think this review is on meta anyways.

ravens523335d ago

I agree w/ the txt based comment! Shit gets misconstrued. We should all exchange phone #s...

TheOptimist3335d ago

It's tagged opinion piece not review.

P_Bomb3335d ago

I know, that's a mistake by whoever submitted it. Probably jumped the gun cuz there's no discernible score ala OG Eurogamer. I'm on my phone and can't seem to submit a create report.

You better add sarcasm symbols or else people will think you're being serious and prematurely crucify you 😶

TheOptimist3336d ago

Well yeah, in hindsight I should have done that lol... I dunno why people think the same inspite of adding 'lmao' to that -_-

FallenAngel19843336d ago

I didn't say it was a bad score.

If you couldn't tell apparently the OP is being sarcastic

IamTylerDurden13336d ago

The game is getting good reviews, it's an 80 on Metacritic. How is that a bad score? Destructoid 9.5/10, Sixth Axis 9/10.

TheOptimist3336d ago

One of the best? On a personal level sure, based on Metacritic, no. I am pretty sure games will come that will be 90+- TLOU 2, RDR2, Mass Effect all 90+ is what I am expecting

rocketpanda3336d ago

How is an average of 80% considered bad? Idiot!

Oh no, it isn't a 90% or 9/10, that game sucks!

Sunny_D3336d ago

Oh man an 80???!!! That obviously must mean it's bad. /s Doesn't have to be a masterpiece. Just another good game that once again comes out for the PS4.

DragonDDark3335d ago

Basically an 8 these days mean crap. 9 means ok. And 10 is overrated

guyman3335d ago

Sorry Xbox fanboy, but 80% is a fantastic average.

It's also more than what scalebound will get

Dark_Knightmare23335d ago

Since when is An 80 meta score bad lol like get a life

ThatGuyDart3335d ago

lol the game has an 80 how is that bad?

Letthewookiewin3335d ago

Please wear you're helmet before engaging in life. Maybe get a care taker too. Being "special" is nothing to be ashamed of.

JMyers3335d ago

It's 81 on meta critic currently...?

Clunkyd3335d ago

uhhhh...It has an 81. What do you mean "Metacritic doesn't think so" LMAO

KickSpinFilter3335d ago (Edited 3335d ago )

Its got an 81
7 points higher than Deadrising 4
5 points less than Forza 3H
3 Less than Gears 4
3 Less than Halo
So just about equal to the "best" offerings of XB1
Nothing wrong with an 80's score or is everything on XB1 shit...
Right...didn't think so.

Germany73335d ago

It's official, comments trolling Sony are not inappropriate here, now try to say something about Xbox...

nub_cakes1013335d ago

Since when is 80 a bad score?

Looks like a very solid score you imbecile.

I got to play a little of the original, wasn't for me but I know it has a sting following that will eat the sequel up.

H: ZD is the first big PS4 game for me this year.

PhoenixUp3335d ago

Sony was wise to delay this title into January so it could have more room to breathe outside of the crowded holiday season.

IamTylerDurden13335d ago (Edited 3335d ago )

Phoenix,

I disagree. It was scheduled for early December, the heavy hitters had all released by then. I think December would've been better and i think it could've benefited from being on shelves prior to Christmas. I know numerous ppl who were let down bc they wanted to play it during Christmas break/holiday time off.

Look, it releases January 20th and four days later a trio of big games release. RE7, Yakuza 0, KH 2.8. We do get free story dlc though.

bouzebbal3335d ago

A week after TLG and FFXV? Come on! I would've sacrified one of these.
Delaying it was a perfect decision.

PhoenixUp3335d ago

Sony wouldn't want to release Gravity Rush 2 right next to The Last Guardian. That just makes bad business sense, on the level of "EA releasing Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 so close together bad."

So not only do they not have to deal with other titles, Sony also doesn't want to canabalize their own sales

fromchildren3335d ago

This looks to be one of those you either hate or love type of games. Plus, it is an RPG and this genre usually offers lengthy gameplay. Which mean large casual firms/reviewers would butcher the game even before completing it.

I say this as a gamer who has played and loved these games that were Butchered by reviewers:
(All these probably belong to the you either love it or hate it department)

Gravity Rush(VITA) metacritic 83
Valkyria Chronicles 1 metacritic 86
(Valkyria Chronicles 3 was never localised but that game is 10/10 to me, story is golden)
Soul Sacrifice- Deep in online co op content and the story was goood.
Freedom Wars- Deep in Weapons systems(I mastered the crafting system), PvE and PvP
Bloodborne

Just to name a few

Not that it matters but, it seems I have a thing for Sony's Japanese first party games. But one thing they all have in common is, you can only truly understand these games when you have poured time into them and actually completing them for the very least. I am sure not many big reviewer do that, completing games and exploring end game content and all so their reviews can't be really trusted especially if you are viewing as an JRPG fan or a hardcore completionist of a gamer.

In short, sometimes you just need to try things out for yourself

This is some weird crap I have typed..

IamTylerDurden13335d ago

Gravity Rush 2 is a better game than the original yet it's rated an 80 while the original is an 83. I think critics were surprised with how delightfully good the first game actually was and i think it benefited from being a "pleasant surprise". Now, they expect it to be good and are grading it like the Russian judge at the Olympics. Gravity Rush 2 looks like an improvement in every way, go play Gravity Rush Remastered and then play the Gravity Rush 2 demo/watch gameplay. It's absolutely gorgeous, the world is more fleshed out, it's bigger, has better more nuanced combat, more destructive environments, and a bigger narrative.

andrewsquall3335d ago

Didn't you know that is the way it is with most Sony games? They need to be INCREDIBLY good to nail the 90+ scores. Xbox can release a mediocre, inconsistent, six years in the making, mess like Quantum Break and it will still score in the 80s which is insulting to the likes of Alan Wake which received roughly the same critical praise.
It makes absolutely no sense.

NotanotherReboot3335d ago (Edited 3334d ago )

No they can't. You're spouting a bunch of delusional nonsense.

Sunny_D3335d ago (Edited 3335d ago )

I think any game that has a lot of hype around for any console will get backlash if it scores anything less than a 9/10. Gravity Rush 2 isn't a game with that much hype as it is a niche title and reviews are falling in line with the 1st one. So, for the most part it's just another great exclusive game to add the PS4's library.

Underrated PlayStation JRPG Gem Goes 50% Off In New Sale

Gravity Rush 2, a highly rated PlayStation exclusive, is currently available to purchase at $9.99 on the official PS Store.

OtterX732d ago

Gravity Rush would be an amazing series to be reborn on PSVR2. (sure to make the motion sick squeamish! haha) Anyone who has never played them should pick these games up though, they were really fun, unique/wild gameplay w a lot of style. My only complaint is the Part 2 has a really slow start, but it picks up.

shinoff2183732d ago

I remember when part 2 came out. Part 1 physical copy worth went through the roof.

OtterX732d ago

Nice. I still have have my Gravity Rush physical copy for Vita, but I only owned Remastered + 2 digitally. Wish I had gone physical though.

jznrpg732d ago

I own all of the games physically for Vita and PS4.

Inverno732d ago

Gravity Rush in VR would most likely kill someone lolz. GR2 and the first Mirrors Edge are the only games I've played where I've gotten horrible motion sickness but just couldn't stop playing em. Really hope that motion capture clip really is a movie cause the series deserves more attention.

OtterX732d ago

Ha, yea it would be a bit like Sairento VR (constant 1st person flipping combat), mixed with Detached VR (360 space thrusters) with all comfort settings off, if you've ever played either of those! XD

Eidolon731d ago

GR1/2 would need quite the overhaul to work in VR. If they do make one from the ground up it definitely would work and couldn't be as motionly crazy as some games I've played on the Quest 2, like that Grapple game.

jznrpg732d ago

Loved the first one Vita and second on PS4. Most VR games I’m fine but the nature of Gravity Rush I am not sure I could handle it or not as it may make me feel sick to my stomach. I’d give it a try at least

GoodGuy09732d ago

Gravity rush 1 I really enjoyed but for some odd reason I couldn't as much with the sequel. It was a good game but the controls were very clunky and a game like that just really needs a higher framerate with how precise you need to be. Also everyone is for some reason just absolutely rude towards Kat which got me too annoyed lol.

The visuals and art style were amazing though. If they were to ever make a sequel, you fix these problems, then GR would be great games.

blackblades732d ago (Edited 732d ago )

I enjoyed and play the 1st one on vita, i enjoyed there. Then I played the remaster with dlc when it came out. Gravity rush 2 I bought long time ago on ps4 but never got into it. I didnt even make it to 1st quarter of it. Its just what it is, I'll try to get back on to it sooner or later.

Rebel_Scum732d ago

More an adventure game than a JRPG tbh

jznrpg732d ago

Second game felt more rpgish but I agree they are more adventure than rpg

Eidolon731d ago

Adventure games are more narrative. Life is Strange, etc... This is Action-Adventure, can even say slightly plaformer, some RPG elements, but of course they will call it JRPG(buzz word) to sell.

DefaultComment732d ago

Gravity rush should be on PC by now. At least that will get tose numbers to raise a little.

DarXyde732d ago

The stupidity of exputer calling Gravity Rush 2 a JRPG aside...If y'all haven't bought the game yet, please do. It's such a great, charming game.

I have been absolutely gutted at the idea that there won't be a Gravity Rush 3, and I genuinely hope people give it a fair shake.

Even After 7 Years, Gravity Rush 2 Is A Beautiful Game That Deserves PC Exposure

It's been 7 years since the mystifying Gravity Rush 2; if Sony plans to put obscure exclusives on PC, it's the very definition of underrated.

Skuletor758d ago

A Gravity Rush 2 port would be cool but I'm not sure how many people will be interested in buying a sequel to a game they haven't played before, though it worked for The Uncharted Legacy Collection so who knows? A Bloodborne port should definitely happen first though, the fact the game never even got a PS4 Pro patch is suspicious.
