You're not wrong... when every big game review scores are 7/8/9, it makes you wonder what the rest of the scale is for. At least slant is setting expectations a bit lower which can be good when people hype themselves up too much. At the same time it is weird they don't go above 7 often. But I like that they use more of the lower end of the scale.
Where is their review in progress?
I don't see it on youtube or twitter.
Those don't strike me as being particularly unfair though tbh. I could see a good case being made for all of those ratings.
Guardian review makes it sound like a slow burn compared to GTAV, which is a good thing IMO. Guess not everyone will jive with it.
They're pretty consistent, I'd say.
They're old school EDGE levels of harsh
Watched Gamespot's review video. It confirms my worry on the mission structure, but they also said the story is immersive and provoking. The whole management part is most interesting to me though, regarding how Arthur can help the gang by doing chores and helping each other. Always love these small backdrops in a big picture.
Ah, I mean, their animations are like that. I did not expect differences from RDR2. Personally I don't like it. Way too inclined to being "real" or having actual weight.
Hehe yeah, I'm still undecided whether I will get this game. I've become immune to all the "best game of all time" chatter in review threads. Getting burned by Botw and Witcher 3 reviews like the one from Slant will give me the best impression.
Yeah. I'm not worried or anything. I mean this company hasn't yet disappointed me. Even if GTA V did have several things that could have been much better. But that goes for my other favorite company too, Bethesda Game Studios.
None of their games will feel like Max Payne 3 until they change their entire control scheme to feature aiming constantly, which will never happen
It certainly is an interesting strategy that MS is doing. I have a Pro as well but used to own an Xbox One. When they announced that every Xbox exclusive will also be on PC I instead sold it and built a gaming PC.
Game sounds fantastic, as expected. Looks incredible on X and Pro as well. Only thing I'm not liking from reading/watching reviews is the sim/survival/micromanagement mechanics. I'm not too fond of that type of stuff.
I don't know, 98 seems really high. I'm sure others will love it but I doubt I will so much. We'll see after my exams finish and I can begin
Wow, it has been well received! I was going to get the game no matter the score, but I'm glad to know reviewers are loving the game.
I only have my Xbox to play with my girlfriend but since I don't have much time to play both Xbox with her and the other games I've call it quits and sold the Xbox.
No point in having an Xbox since I have a High End PC since they put game pass on the PC and their own exclusives over here.
But will people talk about it this way this time, or will I have to wait a year to hear about how boring Mexico is and how the back half isn't really all that?
just the opposite for me. i love games that aren't afraid to take it a bit slow
Half this forum will be doing nothing but fawning over the gra41x and taking screenshots for the first 10 hours anyway.
I rarely get time to pay games lately, so it'll take me 2 or so weeks to get to the good stuff.
Honestly, this just feels like any of their previous games. I wouldn't be surprised if a month from now there's criticism to the level of GTA IV or V. Most of all, when the game is that slow (which to me, and well done, could be a big plus, but most people are not looking for such experience).
I'm in for the ride, either way. Hoping the story matches the world they've created.

Indeed. I'm starting to become more level headed about insane hype, aside from games that I'm already hyped about. It's hard to resist but a lot of the time, these games that everyone raves about don't do anything for me.
I would err on the side of caution if you're concerned about that. It goes in depth on one of the primary characters.
Not surprising these scores.
The review scores were really predictable.
The game would need to be hot trash to not throw 10s around.
