The missions are dull and repetitive. There's the framework for a good game there, but I'm not convinced it actually is a good game.

Unfortunately, I have a PS4. So, I'll have to wait for an actual price drop.
I'd say 2-3 weeks at most.
I don't know why anyone would expect this to be anything other than mediocre at best.
BioWare hasn't made a competitive game since KotOR. Somehow their clunky, dated games were given a pass for the entirety of the seventh generation and then some but it seems their games are finally no longer being graded on a curve.

Thisis something I thought on for a little. I think Fallout 76 burned out a lot of the general goodwill gamers had for the industry, and reveiewers might be not as lientient as they were in the past on companies.
If this game ends up in the high 60s it will be almost as big as the Crackdown thread. Potentially longer if we get spicy tweets from EA or Bioware to fuel fire.
It's not mediocre, imo.
It's a very good game with some terrible design choices and a lack of content, all of which can be fixed over time.
Not saying that's good in itself, but it isn't mediocre.
If anything the full experience is lowering my relatively positive impressions of the demo, technical issues aside, because all the padding for these boring story missions before I can get to the missions that give me good loot is killing me.
people keep on expecting around that grade
on a scale from 1 to 10, 7 can still be a good game
That is because very few people review bad and broken games that deserve 2/10.
The game is what it is, but I REALLY don't like see people saying this will be the end of Bioware.
I want Bioware around a long, long time. While they aren't exactly in their glory days, they still have more than enough talent to make incredible new games and their unique brand of RPG storycrafting isn't something I want to see go away anytime soon.
Anthem is what it is, but when it comes to Bioware...
God damn what a start!
Well, these publishers should always know they can't brute force a critical darling with marketing dollars and flash. They're gonna go hard to make this a success on the marketplace though.

it will reach even more because there will be reviews tickling in over the span of the next 14 days.
Itt's not at all, and most reviewers so far agree with that. The minute to minute is very engaging, which is a huge deal when considering if the game has a foundation to build on/fix the other issues.
poor suckers.
I saw their posts in the OT the other day and felt instantly bad for them. I was telling people not to do it just for some armor, especially given the state of the game. People do what they want, however. I hope they find their value in it. I made a similar mistake with Marvel Infinite and...never again.
I'm not sure how if the majority of games score better than that. That would be an absurdly low definition of "good." I'd say "good" needs to at least be top quartile.

I don't think Bioware will worry about this, this will still sell well, there is a market for a looter shooter game
I was originally thinking of getting this on launch and enjoyed what I played during the beta. I was apprehensive the closer to launch we got and the issues I was seeing hadn't been dealt with properly or other things were coming to light. Think I hold out a bit and see how the first couple months go.
It's like people are still somehow hoping they can still do a come back despite almost 90% of the original team already left the studio.
PLenty of good games out there with a 70 score mate, you really don't think that's true?
Holy crap..
This is not looking good so far but from all the load screen complaining etc I'm not that surprised.
I expected around an 8.
I have not played this yet in any form and it looks like it might be a while before I do.
Full price and microtransactions is not ok in my book either.
