A lot of the complaints are "all the story is extremely terrible and manages to explain nothing in a dozen plus hours of cutscenes of exposition"
Not sure that will convey a message.

How come some sites' scores are weighed heavier than others? Reputation and popularity?
Yeah I'll pass for now. Would love to pick this game up at a large discount some day, just to experience it. But reading some of the reviews I don't think it's for me so not worth risking full price.
The better reviewers manage to describe the game very well without having to pay much attention to ratings. Enjoyed the Eurogamer review in particular.

I have a feeling it will happen as soon as 2 weeks from now.
People expected a game by an increasingly divisive developer about a postal delivery man to be in the 90s? Really?
You see this argument doesn't really work since on the opposite side you have people who straight up hate the guy. Kojima has just as much detractors as he does fanboys.
Even when it's not Kojima this argument doesn't work. There are lovers and haters of literally anything.
I pretty much have to play this game now. God dammit. This all sounds weirdly appealing in a way I'm not sure if I'll like, but I really want to find out.
That's not at all what is going on here though. Range of reviews from reviewers from multiple countries.
Handcuffs are phones! What if subtext was text?!?
This is the best thing GB has done in quite a while.
It could go that way, but from the reviews I've seen so far the presentation seems to smooth over the gameplay, and once that is no longer bleeding edge the gameplay will have to do more of the heavy lifting
I need to play the game myself before I can properly form my opinion, so my original post was based purely off the reviews I have read so far
Why are people using an average to argue that something is not divisive? lol
We have reviews calling it GOTY, others are saying its one of the worst games they have ever played. its getting 3's and 10's.
Of course its divisive, that doesnt have to be a bad thing. Why are you so upset over this?

metacritic 🤷♀️
why do metacritic consider 6/10 a green score for an album but horrible for games?
37% of people who answered the poll, at the top of the thread, expected scores in the 90s.
How would the pc version solve those cons? just curious.
The Beastcast convo is a good listen. Vinny and Alex completed in 50-60 hours. Getting a good sense of the things they liked while also fully understanding why they think parts of it are baffling and obnoxious.
Still not sure if this is for me but it def sounds like it marches to its own drum, so kudos for trying something different

Saying someone's jaded is hardly an attack, my guy.
But OK, I already said "Sorry".
I've never played a game like that in my entire life. I'm excited to try.

Yeah, anyone who've seen the gameplay clips wouldn't expect the game to be in the 90s, really. It's about realistic expectation.
It's not for everyone, but I know I'll enjoy this one.
shooty shooty bang bang is a mechanically engaing and satisfying way to interact with the game
if there is no shooty shooty bang bang, that's fine, but there needs to be something in place for it thats equally engaging
some reviewers found that the traversal mechanics are not good enough to make up for the lack of it
The weight management + item degradation + being at the mercy of random physics/events (e.g rain) sounds like Breath of the Wild on steroids.
Anyone who wrote that game off because of breaking weapons is going to have a definite roadblock here, it sounds like.

No i'm happy that a failed game is not exclusive to my favorite console.
I mean, there's literally a poll at the top of this very page with scores in the 90s clocking in at over 37%, so...yes?
And about 70% of people expecting a higher aggregate score than it's currently showing at the moment.
Isn't that literally the point of reviews? So one can make an informed decision about whether or not they want to buy a game?
I probably had less charming things to say about presumably better games. Not sure if I'd put that in a public review that's featured on Metacritic though.
