I got the red flag when they wrote loyal to Sony. It's already a fanboys review when you see that.
Loyalty should have nothing to do with any review.
My favourite open world this gen is likely days gone. Haven't touched GoT yet and I have a strong feeling that will take it's place for me.
Evil within 2 was amazing as well. On the same level as Re2 remake for me.
@sampson
Probably because early development demos always look rough. Not even remotely representative of the final product.
Nobody is saying GoT is a bad game. I'm getting my copy sometime next week and I can't wait.
They just need to have great dialogue to go with the great facial animations and part 3 will be vastly superior to part 2.
@fiveby
It's for the best. Trust me. Replaying the first last of us and it's is far superior in the story front.
Dialogue is actually interesting and meaningful...unlike all the relationship attraction dialogue going on in part 2. That or politically correct dialogue.
It's a huge bummer since I wanted tlou2 to be that awesome game that would make me replay several times.
That's odd. Could you give us the list of all these new games since you're so informed.
I think it's silly to assume that metacritic didn't have the option to do this kind of restriction a long long time ago.
The fact that it comes after a specific game got review bombed shows what is really behind the new restriction.
I personally think that the main media reviewers should also be put under the same restriction. They don't all get review codes so all should be allowed time to play the game before reviews come out at all.
The same goes for official reviewers. Street dates are very often broken so it is possible for many to be able to review the game upon official release.
Official reviewers don't always finish the game and in some cases barely play it. So why do they get a pass...some form of verification is necessary. Without verification this is censorship or at the very least blocking the consumers ability to protest against a game.
To put it in perspective let'...
Which first party?
Feels like E3 2017-2019 all over again.
How about you let your show do the talking.
Stop talking to the media and show us the stuff because as of right now...the lineup is anything but diverse.
No game gets the finer details of any topic right. Nothing is 100% realistic and true to life in videogames. Western culture which is quite a broad statement gets so many things wrong in videogames when it goes to other countries. Not to mention all the historical inaccuracies in recent games for the sake of diversity.
It's less an idea than common sense. You have different consoles therefore different offerings. Competition is necessary and the only difference between the consoles are usually the offerings. If the offerings are all the same then they can't compete against each other.
Other than through a few features like Backwards compatibility. Which should have always been the norm like on pc.
God if war is probably my favourite this whole generation. Sony seems great at making dad games and that's not a bad thing.
Gimme more dad games if they're at that quality
Not sure a list of disappointments means the game was bad.
Re3 seems great to me so far but that doesn't mean that people can't have been disappointed with it's length or the changes from the original.
I'm presently enjoying RE3. Granted I never got around to playing the original so I don't have any expectations other than RE2 remake.
For me the most disappointing has been tlou2. I really wanted a game to keep me engaged more than 1.5 playthroughs. Won't be coming back to it since it's not a story that reached me in any way and especially not the way it was told.
Other than that one I wasnt disappointed with any game I've played this...
This list is purely opinion so it can include any game. Shouldn't be a jab just because you would disagree.
Why would anyone be bothered by his opinion as he stated I will never understand either.
An opinion shared by many by the way. Not a bad game but disappointing after such a long wait. Mind you I platinumed it but I won't ever touch the game again. Unlike the first last of us which I've played on PS3 and PS4 several times. Probably going to give it another go after GoT.
Perhaps you need to wake up twice...maybe it's a dream within a dream.
This isn't even the worst it will get. It's going to get much much worse. The degradation of society started in the 1900s. Degradation is affecting morality and common sense. Ethics are out the window more and more and agendas that destroy society are being pushed more and more. Lies are being spread as facts and facts are being thrown out as hateful and bigoted. It will only get worse. This new culture presents itself as humanitarian but will destroy anyone that disagrees with it. Yo...
The poor introduction of new characters to only get rid of them later in the game.
The poor quality of dialogue between the characters save for a few exceptions.
The complete disregard to established characters and making them do stupid or say stupid things.
The dumbing down of character depth by opting to center around political correctness instead. Make a character interesting by focusing on the actual person not his/her sexual prefer...
