There is a risk/reward for a developer,pertaining to an aggregate website like metacritic. If a game does well and avg's. A 90%. The understanding is that gamers are more likely to purchase the game based on that aggregate review score.
Here lies the problem with this way of thinking. I've been a gamer for over 30 years. I've been through the Nintendo Power, Gamepro , EGM days. I used to hang my hat on whatever the reviewer told me about a game. Stupid, I know.

Its the aggregate sites that throw things off. If you trust a certain publication and their review process, then stick with their review and their review alone. Don't pay any mind to metacritic.

2 totally different types of games. Would Naughty Dog writers improve the narrative? Perhaps they could. I Can't imagine it would take CoD over the top though. If I have one gripe about Call of Duty. It is that it's becoming predictable, and stale. To me anyway. I still enjoy the yearly series. Just not as much as In used to. The last time it WOWED me was the original modern warfare. Not so much since then. I do enjoy the zombie mode, and feel like last years black ops III was loaded ...

I have assumed this once I heard about the original PS4. I had tons of "disagrees", because of it. You don't have to agree. It is what it is. Its the future of consoles. PS4v1, v2, v 3 and so on and so on. Just like you upgrade your cellphone every year or two. The good part is, a video game console is less expensive then a cell phone in the long term

I just purchased an X1 to complement my PS4. I have funny feeling its going to turn around. I can't be the only one to do this. Looking forward to GoW4, Quantum Break is good, and Rise of the Tomb Raider is awesome.

That's terrible news. The man was truly talented and will be missed by the gaming community indeed.

Just got my X1 last weekend. Purchased the white box with this game. I had no faith going in that it would be any good. So far I think its good. I don't mind the FMV between acts. Surprised how good the graphicals are. The worst part was how long it took the game to DL, and That's with a fast connection. That's not Quantum Breaks fault. Unless I was in a "Time stutter" and didn't know it..

Knack was the first PS4 game I played and was almost the last. I was so disgusted, I almost sold my PS4 Immediately. yuck! Knack? Of all games to recommend. The more I think about it, this generation of consoles has been underwhelming anyway. There has been a small slew of very good games, bit I can't think of one yet that I will take with me to the next generation of consoles. I will gladly give up free indie games on PS plus for a generation defining IP.

If you didn't see this coming you are naïve. $400 systems? They're new business model was to follow the cellphone industry. Render the last model obsolete every few years. Business analysts have been saying it for years. There will be no PlayStation 5. It will be a PlayStation 4 2nd generation. Then 3rd generation and so on and so on....

I can't wait to spank it while watching some vr adult entertainment.... Imagine working the baloney, then you take the headset off and your wife is standing there with her arms crossed, shaking her head...

If Sony listened to the public, they would go bankrupt like most companies. They are not in the business of giving you what you want. They are in the business of creating new things and making you believe you want it.

Why not. It could be a nice change. They better program that grimy WW1 violence in there. I want to see limbs shredded, heads turn into fruit punch and be able to use the old school artillery... Awwww...flamethrowers! Poison gas! I want to see this game!

No man's sky will fail on it's own. It has nothing to do with destiny. Having seen it at an event, I can honestly say,"What is the point of this?" The developer has kept some things secret though. We will have to wait and see.

This looks like it could be the end for last gen Call of Duties..... It's about time...

They should have waited longer before they released the game on PC. This is a huge dent in an otherwise great developer. Rocksteady's peeps better fix it or they may never recover from this one.

Damn right its gonna live up to the hype. Fallout 4 is to fallout 3, what Skyrim was to Oblivion. Its going to be the game Bethesda wanted Fallout 3 to be. You know thats right son! Fallout 4 aint askin questions kid. It's a chew you up and spit you out. Its the game that will end all games. Fallout 4 is to gaming what Dark side of the moon was to Rock n' Roll. What Jay-Z's life and times of Sean Carter volume 2. Was to Hip Hop. Fallout 4 will be the truth playa!!!!!!and you know ...

There was a time I never thought I would game again. I had 2 kids back to back. 9 years later, and not only am I getting good game time in, but I appreciate it more. Instead of plowing through games on a weekly basis, I now take my time on one or two games. I used to hate games like the "Witcher" and "Borderlands". But now, when the family goes to bed, I find myself playing more games in that genre and have also gotten away from MMORPG'S....
