Who are you to decide if Twilight Princess has no right getting that? Many people love the game, and even a "bad" Zelda is still a really good game.I think critics would rather get lost in the sea of positive reviews than to give it a lower score. If they gave it a nice and fair 90 review no one would bat an eye. Look what happened to Twilight Princess. A game that had no right to score as highly as it did (again, not saying Death Stranding doesn't deserve low scores, I think it's gonna be great) and the one publication that dared give it a more realistic review (still too high imo) got absolutely decimated for it. It was absolutely embarrassing to witness and I think it could happen again with Death Stranding.
I just don't trust the reviews to be truthful with games like this. It's gonna be a divisive game and I'd much rather see divisive scores.
So I listened to the bombcast, and he basically implied that he hates Red Dead 2 but appreciates it after playing death stranding
Facts!!I have nothing but faith in Hideo Kojima.
Every game with his name on it has impressed me to a major degree.
Not everyone enjoys Kojima games. But I always have. So I'm not worried about Death Stranding.
The first two of those quotes are fine, the third is not.
Look, I get that's subjective, but 95% average? That game is not a near-perfect game and I don't think anyone would contest that.Who are you to decide if Twilight Princess has no right getting that? Many people love the game, and even a "bad" Zelda is still a really good game.
Doubt.jpg ^^We hype up the review thread but what if nothing happens 🤔
Surely we're able to act like mature, responsible adults and not goad others into a fight over dumb scores, ...right? 🤔
Where you trying to present 2 sides of an argument here??Review Negativity Cycle:
1. "This particular reviewer sucks anyway. No one quote them anymore. This is a happy topic full of real people who actually play and enjoy video games."
2. "So what if several reviews are dogging it? The game is art. It's not the fans' fault that some mainstream reviewers are paid shills anyway."
3. "Chill the fuck out with all the negativity, people. Metacritic's score literally doesn't mean shit anyway. It's baseless and critics are always, always professional bullshitters. Stop paying attention to this thread and play the game. That's what I'm going to do. What? Why are you bringing up that I'm this thread's OP? So what. Reviews are stupid. Go away."
4. "The games media is a liberal front designed to tear away at all forms of capitalism including my beloved video game. I hate you."
Review Positivity Cycle:
1. "I fucking told you so. So what if this is the only review posted thus far? It pretty much speaks for everyone, I guarantee it."
2. "The critics know what's what. This one, this one, and also this one are tough to please, too, which means that the game is destined for greatness."
3. "Edge likes the game. As a result, I fully expect it to be listed as one of the greatest achievements in human history."
4. "As predicted, I have become a prophet. A scion of truth. I spread the gospel of this glorious game and I am probably owed a percentage of its mammoth sales."
Don't think it's as "clear-cut" as you're making out but whatever, everyone has their own narrative I guess.I'm talking about the two clear-cut cycles that I've seen fill review threads depending on the trending Metacritic score of a given game. Sometimes, I've even seen people switch from one cycle to the other, if reviews start trending upward or downward out of nowhere.

Yeah so many people hate Kojima here so I fully expect a hell of a bad review thread.
Too early for me to settle on one.

I just hope no one attacks any reviewers for giving the game a 6/10 because WHEW, some people take their vidya too seriously.
Id say 6 as the lowest score.
Hey if you hate it, you hate it. I hate or am indifferent to some popular games. For instance I would give Shadow of Mordor a 2, Skyrim a 4, and Mass Effect a 5.

it's the type of game that will have multiple tens, and multiple 2's. a median would probably be more accurate than an average but in the end all that matters is how you personally feel about it.This doesn't seem like the type of game that will have a high metacritic score in my opinion. I think it will be pretty divisive.
Kojima always bring the carnival of stupid.
GB is a site that generally absolutely loves Kojima's games.

It's Death Stranding and majority of the people in this thread are fine with this.There are other games releasing in November he could be playing.

He only did so because he ran into a game-breaking bug that meant he couldn't' continue playing. No idea if he rescored it or anything but that was the sole reason he gave Hellblade a low score.
Was this somehow guaranteed? Ppl are assuming its DS because it's Dan, not saying it's not DS either but we also don't know if it is.It's Death Stranding and majority of the people in this thread are fine with this.
