1. Metacritic average is too flawed to take its final score as a gold standard. It's just one very general guide post.
2. Reviews are just feelings. Don't be shitty because someone feels different than you.
3. Almost exactly half the reviewers gave Gears a 90 or above. If you got as much enjoyment out of the campaign as I did, there's enough reviewers to validate your feelings...but if they didn't, so fucking what?
4. I don't think Coalition will close down for missing the 90 metacritic mark.
Who said that gears 5 has to be above 90 that missing it might even remotely put coalition in danger ? I know u r saying no one but it should not even be on anyone's mind to begin with .
Game scored amazing and it's an amazing game .however it has bugs that prevent progression of the game that affects quite few people .many people had to replay the same part of the game for 2 hours before the game would progress . A game in this state can't score above 90 to begin with . It's an amazing games that once ironed out will be one of the better gears and that's an amazing feat for coalition.
Congrats to them .
