Metacritic scores almost always trend downward a couple of points after the first wave of reviews go out.
It's just not important: the reviewer consensus is that Gears 5 is clearly an outstanding game.
Is Death's Stranding excluded from this year's VGA?I know. I don't really put much stock in other awards at this point. If you really trust one publication, that's cool. But TGA is a panel of judges across the industry. I don't go by sheer number of awards. Since any tiny blog gets counted now-a-days. In that sense, I'm sure almost every game wins a GOTY awards from someone.
2 reviews today came in at 80.
Whats weird for me is almost every review/youtuber/streamer thinks its much better than Gears 4 but it may end up at the same score as Gears 4 or even lower if we get a lot of 80s from now on.

You can't respect someone who doesn't have the same video game preferences as you?Personally for me it's a 90. I think the acting/story are better than ever, graphics are great, gameplay is improved, increased options and Jack customizations are great. MP is TBD right now but from what I played from the beta it's smoother than ever. I know and respect that it's not everyone's cup of tea but I can't respect any reviewer that gives this LT 80.

I have much respect for games in all categories. Give me a polished puzzle game and I'd rate it well. Same for a racer. Same for a JRPG. I just can't see someone walking into a review for this with an open mind and hit it with a 60.
I can. It would just mean they didn't enjoy the game very much, and no amount of polish can change that.I have much respect for games in all categories.

Me? I started playing last night and have really enjoyed myself so far. But it seems like a silly thing to base your respect on.
You need to realize that people have different opinions from you and that you should respect that opinion if it is well thought out and detailed. Which many of these reviews are.
Well that's totally fine, but making that jump to a loss of respect is what's tripping me up.Look at it this way fellas: I walked into that low review and I reviewed that reviewer as a 60. They just weren't for me. I didn't enjoy their review. 😉
Eh. 80 is a good score. You could have very little to complain about, but just not love the game enough to go higher.What really grinds my gears (and no, pun not intended) is when the review is outstanding and praising the game non-stop.
Then the score is an 80/100 for some reason with barely a mention of any flaws found. Reminds me of being graded in highschool and seeing one "needs more references" red mark and yet an 82 percentage.
Back on topic, the 87 dream aint dead just yet, just bumpy. I believe.
I don't think there is anything weird about that.
Gears 4 came out in 2016 and was rated in 2016. Standards rise over time and the gaming environment is diffrent, so just being better than a game that came out in 2016 won't warrant you a better score in 2019.
As Shairi said before me, games came out since Gears 4, outstanding ones. Standards have changed. If Gears 4 would be reviewed again today it wouldn't score the same.
Yea but here's the thing, they are not reviewing the game of 2016 merits. Its being reviewed off of 2019 merits. Gears 4 would never get a 84 in 2019.
So to say that just because Gears 5 and Gears 4 have the same score, doesn't mean that both games are equal in terms of quality.
Watch a summary for 4 on YouTube (but not the one they show in Gears 5, that one skips over some pretty important stuff).If I haven't played Gears since the original, can I still follow and enjoy the story?
not someone who gave it a 6/10, I mean you really got to just look at every negative and not any positive. IMO thats a peep wanting attention, knowing they would get it, with a certain crowd, by posting a 6/10 review, his comment on twitter kinda show, he wanted shock factor.You can't respect someone who doesn't have the same video game preferences as you?

If they gave it a 2/10 or something like that, sure. 6/10 is not exactly far from the 7's and 8's that the game has been getting. I wonder if you say the same about reviewers giving it a 10/10 seeing as that's an outlier too.
Not fall off, from 7 or 8?, this whole thread is it not hitting .4 higher for the magical 9.0 number.If they gave it a 2/10 or something like that, sure. 6/10 is not exactly far from the 7's and 8's that the game has been getting.

It is Gears and an MS IP. I see no way that they could have hit the 90's, the cache isn't there. It being 2 points below Spiderman is better than I expected. At the end of the day it is what it is enjoy the game and play it. I'm still surprised that the user score is so high.not someone who gave it a 6/10, I mean you really got to just look at every negative and not any positive.

Id agree generally on this point but that single review and his actions after words speak to him wanting a reaction.
I can. It would just mean they didn't enjoy the game very much, and no amount of polish can change that.

I ain't even mad about it not hitting 90. That was my opinion and I still stand by it.
That said Doom not hitting 90 IS a crime. That was the best FPS this gem hands down you clowns.
Yes I'm still salty about it.
Three player co-op is definitely a thing in campaign. When you start a lobby, there are two slots open, but one player will be playing (Jack) Dave.
Wouldn't really say unfair, just too many hidden agendas and vendettas in the industry.after playing the Game i can say some reviews are unfair really
people have different opinions on every single topic in the world just because some dont share the same as you doesn't make it UNFAIR, most of the reviews seem pretty positiveafter playing the Game i can say some reviews are unfair really
I'm surprised anyone would ever show up for something like that, that is a weird fucking thing to ask other people to do.Back on the board that shall not be mentioned, I use to ask people that made posts likes to join my party.
I don't waste my time anymore, but 9 times out of 10 they wouldn't/couldn't show up. LOL
I think you're actually playing the game though, so it's not a shot saying you aren't.
yes i think you are rightWouldn't really say unfair, just too many hidden agendas and vendettas in the industry.
so is't fair to Give it 6 ???people have different opinions on every single topic in the world just because some dont share the same as you doesn't make it UNFAIR, most of the reviews seem pretty positive
