Graphics aren't that important but if you enjoy headaches, sure low/inconsistent frame rate is acceptable.

On the board with an 86.. I'll def take that

Pokemon is down to an 85. Will the OP get edited?

Opinions on it seem very mixed. I just read a 100/100 review and a 50/100. I wonder where I'm going to lay when I actually sit down to play.

I give it tree-fiddy...

I'll update the scores for Pokemon when I do the next big update. Looks like it'll be for Dying Light 2 which drops in a few days. I try to limit the number of edits because it becomes a bit of a chore trying the OP every time the overall score goes up or down a point or two.

Trust me, I totally understand.

OP updated with scores for Dying Light 2. It's currently at 77 on Metacritic from 45 reviews.

How does Dying Light only have a 77, it's graphics are much better than Pokemon Legend Arceus!

OK Reed

That reminds me of a question I had. Which platform are we using for the points? The highest one? lowest one? average of them all? Dying light is 79 PC, 78 XBSX, 77 PS5

Platform with the most reviews

Ah ok, good to know. In other news it looks like the Suicide Squad game is getting pushed into 2023.

I can see myself going dead last.... *cries*

The Guardian with a 40 for Dying Light 2.

Letting reviews get out before day 1 patches, great idea.

What choice do they have? Patch the games before day one and send actual final copies to reviewers?

What do you think this is, 2004?

I was expecting Dying Light 2 to land in the low 80s. Ah well. Close enough

Ghostwire: Tokyo has been dated. It's coming March 25. I've added it to the list of upcoming releases in the OP.

Damn another one I forgot about! I'm gonna lose so hard this year. Worse than last haha

I thought this came out last year.

Suicide Squad KTJL delayed to 2023. Damn it I knew this would happen! Should have went with my frigging gut like I did with God of War Ragnorok!

Yeah, this wasn't even on my shortlist of games. It looks pretty unremarkable to me, but maybe I'm missing something. Plus The Evil Within 1 and 2, Tango Gameworks other games, both reviewed in the mid 70s. But I'm not typically into first person games so I may be missing something.

Side note: Looks like this will be the last Bethesda game on PlayStation consoles. Totally forgot Tango Gameworks was a part of Bethesda. Long live crapty acquisitions! Hopefully Nintendo can join the party soon. They could go after FromSoft and give us some Souls games with the Breath of the Wild aesthetic. That would be fun

It would have been kinda weird to release Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad in the same year. Especially since both games are doing the whole coop multiplayer thing.

Aren't Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad supposed to be Live Service crap like The Avengers and Anthem? I really don't expect those to review well, at all.

No they're not. At least for Gotham Knights they confirmed no live service. Just story coop. We'll see.

Sifu's first reviews are coming in. It's sitting at a 79 on Metacritic right now. Most reviews are an 8 or 9. F-ing Gfinity killed it with a 40.

Pretty much. Every complaint is about the difficulty.

I'm certainly interested in it, but will probably wait for the physical copy.

Couldn't beat it. -60. What a cunty thing to do

Looks like Polygon is crying about it too.

Sounds like they got a touch of the snowflake virus that's going around.

Because Pokemon Legends is surprisingly really good. The fact that the game is reviewing so highly and looks as ugly as it does is saying something.

I've been spoiled having the opportunity to game on an EVGA 3090 at high framerate 4K resolutions, and even I am really enjoying Arceus. It's the first Pokemon game since Gold and Silver to really have its hooks on me.

For those complaining about BotW 2 not coming out, learn to like Pokémon

OP updated with scores for Sifu. It's currently at 81 on Metacritic from 53 reviews.

There's a difference between a difficult game and an unfair/cheap/cheating game. An unfair game deserves to get a knock down on its score.

I would also say reviewers are also usually pretty decent at video games (it's kind of a job requirement). Maybe not competitive esports champion level, but better than average by a fair margin. If they can't beat a game, that's not a great sign.

And do you really think it would have gotten 100 if they didn't have an issue with the difficulty? It wasn't a -60, that's like when game publishers consider every pirated copy of a game to be a lost sale at full retail.

TLDR version quit whining and wait for my sports games to destroy you

If he could have beaten it, would that have improved the score?

Also that seemed like a lot of assumptions @benstylus

Reviewers are inherently good at games? Doubtful.

I might have made some bad choices for my list. Seems 3 could get delayed, and that's including the backup ones
