At the end of the game Kratos and Atreus reaches a very dark place.

Then suddenly brights lights everywhere iluminates the area, after shaking away his confussion he sees a wall with a paint on it, says:"Metacritic score will decide the fate of your son less than 99, Atreus dies"

The game will check the online score of the game at that moment in MC and you will get a definitive ending depending of the score and nothing can be done to prevent the bad ending unless game reaches a 99 in MC.

So, the good ending can't never be viewed by anyone, no matter how hard you try. A metacommentary about how much significance we put into reviews, that's why reviwers thinks is that amazing and why they are sheding tears.

I like this Skill Up guy. His BotW review checks out (thinks the game has issues, but is still a remarkable achievement). His excitement + the fact that he embraces games with great mechanical depth = Me excited

Until this gets all reviewers to inflate their score to get to that 99 MC, at which point David Jaffe comes out to slaughter Atreus and Kratos and just stares into the camera. "Game critique is dead."

So what is everyone's favorite trailer? For me it's hard to figure if I like the Story trailer or Be a Warrior better.

Wow this thread has 249 pages!!! What are you all talking about for 249 pages!!!!!!!?

Everytime I hope back in here it grows by like 5 pages. Once the reviews go live, I cant imagine the chaos for good or bad that will arise.

Just enjoy this thread while it lasts y'all. Review thread is going to be a shitstorm no matter what. Let's predict the negative/ridiculous reactions for each score

If it gets around a 97 - "Sony bias?!" "Did Sony pay them off?!" "Any AAA first party single player game is like an automatic 97 anyway. Reviews don't matter"

If it gets around a 94 - "of course it did, only Nintendo and Rockstar games get 97s because of bias!"

If it gets below 90 - "game must suck! Flop confirmed"

Hoping God of War gets a 97 so I can say that it was nostalgia for old God of Wars that gave it that score.

:^)

The people who are waiting to do this are sad and pathetic. Some people are literally waiting to start drama so they can get that hot take opinion quoted for +20 pages. Look at the meltdown Jim got for 7/10 Zelda review for example.

I'll just lurk around for the scores only.
I got 60 word pages worth of comments ready for a wall of shame.

Don't trust these reviewers hype, they just want to get more click, nothing to do with the quality of the game.

People anticipating a shitstorm review thread must be forgetting how the same was expected for U4 and it was pretty calm overall.

We are civilized people you know...

Remember when this thread was about all the various previews? Watching this thread evolve has been life changing. I stayed up for the Horizon reviews so I am sure as hell not going to miss the end of this masterpiece of a thread.

Just seen the latest hype tweets. Brandon Jones you beautiful man.

I'm going for 95 Metacritic, tied with The Last of Us.
