I kind of wish Forza Horizon 5 would win as it really deserves it but from the current vote tally it looks like this award will almost certainly go to Halo Infinite.
It would definitely be better with co-op but I don't think Halo is trash as a single player game. I like the campaigns.
Can you give us an example of a game that meets your criteria, if by original you mean brand new IP then only Nintendo has any exclusives in the top 25 of 2021 by metascore.
EDIT: Scratch that it's also a re-release, none of the big 3 have new IPs in the top 25. It's all indies / multiplats bringing the high scoring new IPs.
That sucks, hope you find another fix
Not every reviewer has to agree with the consensus. It doesn't mean they are doing it for clicks, if they have a pattern of being far off just blacklist them but you're allowed to not like something lots of other people like.
I'd rather that than having journalists feel pressured to conform instead of giving us their opinion on a game
I had that when I had the game installed on a HDD, I moved it to an SSD and haven't had that issue since.
Most pay to play games also have issues. Pretty much all software has issues.
I don't think I have encountered any cheaters yet, not to say it isn't happening and I'm on PC.
They have a section highlighted in blue at the bottom of the review that is solely on the microtransactions
If you really value cosmetics that much it's fine for you to bring the score down to whatever you want, I don't care that much though, I just want to play a fun game.
These kinds of things are always incredibly hard to prove with factual evidence, things like the cosby suite being a thing at blizzard is proved by the accounts of employees, the drinking on the job / frat boy culture thing will probably be easy to prove as I imagine they are ordering the alcohol. It's more likely than not you'll have to make a conclusion based on a pattern of accounts from employees, but with this many of their employees calling out the behaviour I doubt it's fic...
I actually did need to move warzone off my SSD to install Forza heh
The battle pass season lasts half a year so I guess it's slow on purpose, I reckon it would make more sense for it to be shorter and easier to rank up.
Well the Halo Infinite Beta surprise launch is one way to kill what hype is left for Battlefield 2042
My game kept crashing until I ran it as administrator, not sure what they are doing that is causing crashes without elevated privileges, hopefully they patch out the crashing and server issues soon as the game is really fun.
You make it sound like they are running a charity, they just want money and PC Gamers will buy their games.
I don't mind skipping this game, what I am really hopeful for is Bloodborne and Demon Souls. I played Bloodborne on PS4 already but it would be nice to breathe new life into it with a PC release and Demon Souls I have never played but it looks great.
But besides adding new modes, a new map and more cars what are you expecting them to do? I feel like you could argue all racers are the same if that's not enough.
I have also tried that, it's a really good game too but I wouldn't describe it as a racing game
I'm sure that will all get ironed out soon, I've been having a lot of fun with it
