The mods know what pays the bills.
Quite a few reviews just got posted above 9 so things are looking very positive based on that. I have to admit I'm slightly surprised as I was expecting it to be good but not anywhere between a 9.5 and 10. Can't wait to give it a play.
use that logic for the people who use 'GoT' for Ghost of Tsushima instead of Game of Thrones.
You feeling conflicted over it?

A Pendulum war film would be very nice. It could even include an incident where a small group make contact with the Locust but the incident goes unrecorded in the world's history. Would also be nice to see more of the Gorasni as they're barely touched on in the games. Much better than a retelling which just offers very little and pretty much zero in the way of surprises.

"Want to know why films like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Watchmen, The Princess Bride, American Psycho do so well as book to film adaptations?"
Probably because you're comparing two very different forms of media being adapted. What's the point in a movie telling me the same story when I can load up a video of all the cutscenes in the game on YouTube? Literally none. Making a movie that complements the lore by telling a ne...

I'd argue quite high. It's not perfect and the detective part of the game should either be dropped or needs to take inspiration from the Arkham series. Arkhams detective segments weren't anything mind blowing but they weren't long and boring. That's pretty much my main criticism with the game so far as the combat imo is great. It could do with more features in regard to the movement based attacks/counters but I'll hold off on committing to that criticism until I've...
@Sono421
You're assertion is that the game is not being review bombed. So can you explain why accounts exist with only 1 review all of which being in the red make up a sizable chunk of the reviews? It's very odd to think that this game is so bad that it's moved people to sign up to Metacritic just to give it a negative review. How do you determine the difference between those accounts and say if I make 20 accounts right now and give a game a 0 score 20 times? If...
"only one single review complains about it being a Nintendo exclusive, the rest complain about: Boring combat, 30 FPS, and bad graphics."
Yeah it's just super coincidental that the game started getting bombarded with 0/10 scores from fresh accounts with no other reviews. It's not like Metacritics user scores across just about every single game are completely unreliable, and in no way accurately display what the opinion is of actual players of the games.
...
On a more serious note where are the people saying the user reviews are reliable? Only a few months back we had people saying "don't trust the critic score, the user score is what matters".
For as long as there is no need for the user to prove they even own the game, (let alone finish it) user scores on sites like metacritic will never be a reliable measurement of what users actually think.
"Keep your opinions out of your own review!"
Lol who do you think your fooling?
"they don't cause people to smoke."
It's pretty much scientific consensus that tobacco products being glammorized in media played a huge role in its promotion. You can't really disagree with that without citing multiple studies at this point.
Are you saying video games cause people to cut other people in half with a chainsaw?
If not then your analogy doesn't hold ground. It has actually been documented that media played a role in the popularization of smoking so I don't see how your chainsaw analogy is similar.

Nothing is inserted when I quote you word for word.
"I said spiderman was more fun in reply to a comment about being easy to take people out etc"
So you're acting as though the comments you made stand on their own and that if you say one thing in one comment it has no link to what you've said in a previous comment?

Enjoy your victim mentality and Self-flagellation while you play your bug riddled games at launch <3

"I would've loved if Sony had released this garbage - could you imagine the heat they would've got?"
And there it is. Your favourite company is on the receiving end of unjust criticism, but for their competitors it's clear sailing and media bias? Gtfo with your victim mentality and grow up.
@Larrysweet
So if they disagree with you they're crap? Okay got it.
