Meta of 74

 

[Ape]

Killer needs to copy paste the other SO review thread asap

 

[Hidden One]

 

[Nintendojitsu]

A Metacritic in the low 80's.

 

[abrack08]

Gah -- I made a thread too (haha).

Taking the time to include a pick and the early review is probably what pushed yours behind his.

You were too ambitious

 

[Duxxy3]

I'm still on the pessimistic 70 side of things. I hope I'm wrong though, because I love insomniac.

 

[Mory Dunz]

I feel a 79ish. Not sure why.

 

[Scooby]

Good or not I just want something to play until Halo comes out.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

*takes shelter*

It's not gonna be pretty.

 

[marianitten]

You really shouldn't depend on metacritic of all things to help you make that choice, imho

Why not? Is a much better quality meter than hype and promises that came from developers/publishers

Story of my life.

[Icyflamez96]

85

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Meta prediction (just for fun)

Spoiler

78

 

[Dragonborn]

I'll stick to my prediction, 73-75 metacritic

 

[SRTtoZ]

AHHH 1 minute! I predict good healthy scores, nothing mindblowing but not bad either.

 

[Toki767]

80 is my prediction.

 

[RespectThySole]

My prediction was 77-82.

 

[Mozz-eyes]

Do you guys ever get a feeling for how good a game is going to be?

My spider sense tells me this will average at 82 with the main complaints being to do with the humour not working and the gameplay getting stale pretty quickly.

Although I did predict shadow of mordor as a 65 so I was way off there.

 

[Ape]

ok im off to check the review scores before you guys post them. so hyped!

 

[Zeyphersan]

I'm feeling bold, 87

 

[McDougles]

AHHH 1 minute!

2 minutes!

 

[LookAtMeGo]

I hope it does well.

 

[Syphon Filter]

why people care so much about reviews? its one persons opinion.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Meta Prediction: 82 - 83

why people care so much about reviews? its one persons opinion.

Well generally, it's like 40 - 60 people's opinions but yeah it is entirely subjective in nature so take it with a grain of salt.

I, personally, just like to see how reviewers generally perceive games and find that interesting in and of itself

 

[Blimblim]

Our review is up, as usual the full text is only in French, with the conclusion and plus/minus being translated. MS requested our videos only show the first 2 hours of the game until it's officially available, so only 5 HQ videos today, with *lots* more coming tomorrow
http://www.gamersyde.com/news_we_reviewed_sunset_overdrive-15983_en.html
Edit: It's up for real this time

 

[N.Domixis]

82 no more no less.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Hm, question:

Is there any circumstance in which this thread will end well? lol


I feel like if reviews were low, it'd be bias talk.
If reviews were really high it'd be bias talk.

I guess we'll see.

 

[Silky]

No whammies, 85

This...is...GAFA!!!

 

[SuicidalSteve]

Meta 79 or ill eat glow in the dark crow

 

[aygomyownroad]

I'm expecting high 80s. 88 would be my guess... Hyped regardless but Bayonetta 2 is taking up so much time just now

Cause scores are altogether garbage and highly flawed way of determining if a game is good or not?

[Card Boy]

Resistance 2 got 87. It doesn't mean it's a good game.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Hm, question:

It doesn't matter if it reviews well or poorly, it's an exclusive Q4 game from a developer formally associated with another, opposing console manufacture.

It will be a bloodbath before morning.

 

[shacklesmcgee]

Really interested to see how this does, IGN's video of the best respawns totally sold me on it

Spoiler

for when I get an X1

 

[Citizen_Insane]

It adds fuel to their list wars.

The game looks like a blast to play so it shouldn't be a surprise if it reviews really well.

[McDougles]

I reviewed Sunset Overdrive for GameSided. I gave it a 6.5/10.

Sunset Overdrive offers a fair effort that comes up just short of its intentions. Its humor-based story and character development starts off well enough. That is, before relying too much on aiming to be meta or referring to every piece of pop culture from the past decade. The multiplayer, Night Defense and challenge modes would make up parts of a great standalone title, however they cannot overshadow the uninspired story quests, nor the oddly-designed, style-traversal-based combat system. At the core, there is the potential for a great game in Sunset Overdrive. It what makes the execution that much more disappointing.
