17-Mar-2023(#6)Man, the gaming industry loves their RE4...
in spite of the things it got right (being an action shooter), the horror value is just way down on it. While I see it's greatness, it's not in the same realm as the other RE's I know and love.

Ugh. Was afraid of this. And yes WB Games is going to ruin this title that I’m sure Rocksteady put its blood sweat and tears into. Stupid corpos.

Yup! And if for some reason a game only gets say 3 reviews, I'll just average out the scores for those 3 reviews. We've never had to do that, though. Even the most niche games end up with enough reviews to get a Metacritic score.

I was also expecting it to be higher. I had it last year and for some reason I didn't include it this time.

Ah sweet thanks! This is my first year and I’ve never tracked metacritic scores so it’s all new to me!

24-Apr-2023(#32)So rewinding a few days back to the Dead Island 2 review scores last week
I'm kind of surprised by the scores. I haven't played it myself yet, but the game has already passed the 1 million sold mark in its first 3 days (who knows how many more copies it would've sold on the PC side had it not been exclusive to Epic Games Store because I know I'm not alone in that I only purchase PC games from Steam), and in this thread below nobody really has
anything negative to say about it, they're all saying how fun it is and some even claiming it is their current GotY. A 74, while not technically a bad score, doesn't seem to reflect all the good things I'm seeing in this thread.
The 74 Metacritic score tells me to wait and see if it goes on sale during Black Friday, but now I might pick it up a little earlier. Just need to see if PS5 and PS4 versions can play together (this should be a requirement to state if this is supported or not in PlayStation Store listings) and whether or not my co-op friend wants to.

* 24-Apr-2023(#34)Archer wrote:> Also reviewers should never be trusted.
For the most part I never base a purchase on a Metacritic average score. For a long time there was always one or two reviewers per website who I felt I could trust, but in that line of work jobs seem temporary and they're always leaving and going to work for some other site and I got tired of tryng to keep track of where they are. These days the ones I trust the most are only on YouTube and for whatever reason Metacritic won't include their scores. Several of them don't even give scores, which I like, you have to actually watch the review to hear what they like or don't like about the game.

24-Apr-2023(#35)You know what the worst YouTube review channel is? Gameranx. They never tell you not to buy a game and it's just non sensical rambling with no cohesive script to the review ever.

Same. Did reviewers just ignore all the issues? Or did they have access to the day one patch that the others playing it early didn't?

The subreddit for this game is nothing but complaints about crashes, issues and bugs. No one has anything good to say in it. Wonder how all those review scores were what they were now. Because they played without the day one patch.

* 1-May-2023(#59)It's not PVP. It's co-up (more like Borderlands or The Division), which I've always liked. I'm not saying it's going to be good, but I hope it's good. Arkane Austin has talent; I loved Dishonored 2.

This isn't exclusive to gamepass. It seems like 90% of all games are released too soon and need major patching. When was the last time a major AAA title released in a great state?
not that I'm trying to say Redfall is a AAA title.

It seems to be the norm for gamepass. Even ReR4 and Dead Space had minor issues... Not quite as bad as Star Wars though

Whoa! This isn’t a game I’d ever play, but it looked solid enough from the footage I saw a couple of months ago.
I think the embargo is set for 8pm EST today so we’ll know soon enough.
