This is the worst suggestion I've heard in a long while.

Destiny was marketed as an epic, a new level of ambition in gaming, and something like an MMO hybrid for the consoles. That kind of thing can come back to bite you in the ass when you leave the gate half-cocked.Based on how much destiny got dinged for lack of content I don't expect great reviews from what I've been reading.
If they are that touchy about details of the game, they shouldn't even be in this thread. I don't know what else they would expect from a review thread.

Marketing and expectation setting for The Order has been different though. The focus has been on story, visuals, mood and cinematic qualities. So when the reviewers find a game focused on visuals and cinematic styling, can that really be held against it?
Reviews imho tend to be more about how well a game lives up to its own marketed promises. In this case just what promises has RAD made w/ The Order?
I could come up with worse.This is the worst suggestion I've heard in a long while.
Now we know the final boss will reuse animations
...like every boss ever created in existence.
Curious, what leads you to that belief?

I say this as a Ps4/PC gamer who is probably still years away from buying an Xbox One.
Microsoft be kicking Sony's ass yo. Three of the top five in that list are Xbone exclusive, and only the last entry is a Ps4 (and ps3) exclusive. OUCH
EDIT: Read the list wrong, not scores in descending order haha. But my point still stands, lots of Xbox representation, almost none for Sony.
Agreed. It's not for a lack of trying (Titanfall, Infamous) - but the most compelling stuff this gen so far has been multiplatform.MLB 14, FFXIV, Guilty Gear Xrd, many more etc.
But from the first party studios yes Microsoft has a better metacritic average. Neither company seems to have a "killer" current gen exclusive yet though.
1. Graphically it (Bloodborne) looks kind of rough. Some of the screens look really good, but the video last week was pretty bland. I know that shouldn't matter, but people are getting frustrated with From, it sort of came to a head over DaSII lighting. It was cute when DeS and DaS has some issues way back in the early PS3 days, but no longer. One too many boring hallways, low-res textures, or unfurnished concrete-box rooms and the game will get dinged.
2. It doesn't look all that different from the Souls games, you are still basically walking up to waiting groups of enemies, combat looks pretty similar, progression looks sort of similar, etc. Therefore there will be some franchise fatigue, and disappointed expectations (I thought it would be really different but it's only sort of different, etc.) This isn't totally fair, btw.
3. I also expect that some of the changes will be great, but some won't. This is the flip-side of point #2. Some people will go into BB wanted DaS, and those people will be disappointed. Again, not really fair, but possible.
4. Lastly, reviewers are in a bad position: if anything is broken at launch, especially online, they pretty much have to make a big issue out of it. Too many games lately have squeaked by with broken multiplayer.
Review thread is turning into Uncharted vs Tomb Raider

Until Dawn confirmed for Summer 2015? Nice.
please dont tell me this is a 800 post topic for just one review.

Maybe i misinterpreted.. I don't know. You were talking about saving me the 60 bucks.Ummm... isn't the first part of my post "You could wait for more reviews"? My point was that just because people have disappointing things to say about the game before it was out, that doesn't mean it's a spoiler. It should be put out there for everyone to see, so they can make a decision on whether to get it and not be disappointed after they've payed for it.
I'm not sure where I was telling anyone that they shouldn't buy the game.
The list is incomplete, according to metacritic Xbox One has about 40 games equal or above 80 while PS4 has about 60 games that meet those conditions(unless I made some mistake).

I imagine both are being heavily padded by indie games also released on PC. I'd be curious of the numbers without those.
Mid 80's.
Nope.

Because it opens a massive Pandora's Box of bullshit. Especially for a game as loaded as The Order. You'd be giving equal value to impartial media outlets, and people who are actually buying the game on day one.If they can show proof that they have and completed the game and cleared by mods, what would be the problem?
Ah, okay.. Haha. Time to go to bed for me. Sorry dude.You said, "I'm not sure I want to buy this game anymore." and I said, "It's good that you realized that before buying the game and not after."
We're almost there already, and it's 2 days before the Review embargo ends ...
I think we all know the answer to that...
But to sum things up.
Its a PlayStation exclusive which will bring the Xbox fans.
Its also the best looking video game of all time, from a £349 box which will bring the PC fans confusingly thinking how its possible when their set up is twice that amount.
Much like the Uncharted 2 and 3 threads.

Yes, I believe it can be held against it if they find the experience lacking. The expectation may be set but in the end the expectation shouldn't sway the scores if they don't like the offering.Destiny was marketed as an epic, a new level of ambition in gaming, and something like an MMO hybrid for the consoles. That kind of thing can come back to bite you in the ass when you leave the gate half-cocked.
Marketing and expectation setting for The Order has been different though. The focus has been on story, visuals, mood and cinematic qualities. So when the reviewers find a game with most of the focus set on visuals, world building and cinematic styling, can that really be held against it?
Review scores imho should be more about how well a game lives up to its own marketed promises. In this case just what promises has RAD made w/ The Order?
Too high or too low?

I'd support a separate User Reviews thread, though
I think it's a little too low, 88-90 is what I'm thinking but yeah, we'll see
I wasn't the one who started nor the one who posted a list that didn't illustrate the whole picture for AAA titles or otherwise.the discussion started with AAA exclusive game reviews being lackluster so far this gen. Either way it seems to be heading towards console war discussion that this thread is not about.
If they can show proof that they have and completed the game and cleared by mods, what would be the problem? Not like it would used in the metacritic or whatever.
Unless there's something that makes the people who are reviewing the game for outlets a, b, c, d...superior to someone here. It's all subjective information. Only difference is one gets paid for it.
This isn't last gen.
