CerebralTiger stooping to this level, over a game he would've pre-ordered if a PS5 version still existed, with his click baity trash content is hilarious but also not surprising at this point

And then Necrokiller proceeded to change his tune (and avatar lol) after reviews didn't turn out so hot, and then became the game's biggest hater in this thread

Hey Necrokiller, please fill in the blanks: hyp_Cr_T_

 

[Necrokiller]

My tune was critical over certain aspects before as well. Receipts are in this thread

If Bethesda had revealed how exploration was handled, Id be critical of that too. The gunplay remains great and that's something even reviewers have praised

Not enough to change your avatar, Necrocrite

Ofcourse...space exploration, as I said before, is a massive misfire. I will play it eventually for the gunplay and when modders do something interesting with it. Not like its going away from Game pass

10 million! The game may not be spectacular, but it seems to be a financial success.

EDGE - 6/10

But if it's not a bad game, it's an achingly unambitious one, failing in what should be one of the foundational aspects of any space exploration game

For Bethesda, this isn't so much a giant leap as barely a small step.

That's a yikes saeeen.

EDGE - 6/10

Interesting. Curious to know what other stuff Edge published in its latest issue. Maybe a greatest games from the last 30 years list? I wonder if TOTK would be the only 2023 release to make it into said list

 

[Necrokiller]

People are still playing certain masterpieces from 2023 that are not even available on all platforms yet and are massive to begin with

Besides, the list includes a public poll so that disqualifies it from CerebralTiger's criteria. Too bad

 

[CerebralTiger]

The Game Awards also factor public opinion, so nah

 

[Necrokiller]

Game Awards limits the contribution to 10%. Edge has no restrictions

 

[CerebralTiger]

Edge didn't mention the percentage reader votes contributed to the overall tally, which also had to factor 100 ppl from the industry as well as the editorial staff

 

[Necrokiller]

Edge didn't mention the percentage reader votes contributed to the overall tally

Because there is no artificial restriction like in TGA

Wonder what other game got scored in the same issue? CerebralTiger would've shared the result if he was happy with it I guess. Oh well

 

[CerebralTiger]

Not mentioning the percentage != no percentage

Necrokiller considering an 8 for Phantom Liberty as a win

The fact that CerebralTiger didn't make it a point to mention it in the Cyberpunk thread says it all

Oh and ofcourse:

An 8 from Edge is a great score. No wonder Necrokiller didn't post it here

 

[CerebralTiger]

Base game is the main experience, and that, unfortunately, remains a 7 (even with that laughable attempt at a true ending)

Meanwhile, Starfield has dropped to 83. This is the game Necrokiller had avatarified prior to its critical reception. He'd be singing to a different tune had the score been higher

These scores are indeed a true reflection of games. A respectable member of this forum was selling his Xbox Series X at a bargain with GamePass here in Karachi.

I was about to buy the console when I watched the walkthrough of Starfield, Redfall and others available at Gamepass.
And man these games are bland and boring as hell. The only worthy game was Forza that I already have installed on my laptop.

I kinda feel sorry for Xbox and Gamepass fans for not having to experience such classic gems as Final Fantasy Remake, Spiderman, TLOU, Uncharted and so many more gems.

Scoring higher wouldn't have changed the aspects that I don't like. Just like the current score doesn't change the aspect that even critics have praised like gunplay (which CerebralTiger utterly fails to judge in shooters - as always)

What would've change though is that CerebralTiger would have disappeared from the thread if it had scored higher. Like he did from the Baldur's Gate 3 thread after assuming the Metascore is bound to drop after its initial set of reviews LMFAOO, shame shame shame

Base game is the main experience

Another classic case of goal post shifting when CerebralTiger runs out of arguments. We're talking about the score for the expansion, the score that the Dreadful Queen has explicitly certified as "great"

Besides, you can't play the base game today when Update 2.0 exists, so that score isn't even relevant anymore. Try again "8 is great" Queen

The PS5'Series X versions were reviewed with several "fixes" in place. You can't fix what is fundamentally a mid game
