What is the evil ghost kid stuff? I am not seeing it anywhere in the reviews?
While this is true we both know that video games traditionally have very clustered scores. These scores reflect some people really liking it, a bulk feeling okay about it and some people really hating it. So maybe it is more you may love it, are more likely to be okay with or might hate it. It is hard because video games traditionally have criticism that is seen through a very black and white lens with outlets being afraid to have nuance in their scores.
In the trailer/footage ive seen theres the cliche ghost kid swinging on a swing, etc
I finished Blair Witch and I thought the second half was complete garbage so that's a bit too general to apply to everyone the finishes the game.Anyone who finishes a game (especially on Gamepass) probably somewhat enjoyed it so they will give it a favorable review. Otherwise they would stop playing.
I see what you're doing, Bloober.
What site? Maneater has only two 90s for the PS4 version on Metacritic. https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/maneater/critic-reviewsIt just feels like this gets exaggerated a bit. I just went and looked at Maneater which has 11 90+ scores despite being a 72 rated game. Like has anyone actually gone and measured the standard deviation to make these statements?
How massively the scores of horror games often vary between identical entries of the same game kind of supports what I was saying.

To answer your question what I was saying is purely anecdotal and I would love to be proven wrong.
They were talking about the same game having different metascores because of different amount of scores for individual platforms. Opencritic combines all scores for all platforms. That's why Metacritic has cyberpunk at 87ish and then 50s for PS4/X1 and Opencritic it's just a 75 for everything... Don't know if you quoted the wrong post or...How massively the scores of horror games often vary between identical entries of the same game kind of supports what I was saying.
Is it possible to switch your Xbox Region to New Zealand and get this up unlock early?
Well if you need combat in horror, there is still Returnal and RE Village.Damn that's a shame, unfortunately a no buy because the combat is what I really want.
The OpenCritic score of Cyberpunk is not useful because of this. Combining platform scores probably makes sense most of the time but it really should be done on a case by case basis.They were talking about the same game having different metascores because of different amount of scores for individual platforms.

Technically, we seem to be swimming in 8s (the modal score), which is probably about the best I could have hoped for.
Scrolled through some reviews looking for an average completion time but didn't see anything. Does anybody have a rough estimate?
Yea hyped for Village. Almost thinking of grabbing Evil Within 2 because I really need something similar right now. I liked the 1st one but for some reason skipped the 2nd when it launched.Well if you need combat in horror, there is still Returnal and RE Village.
The deeper I read into the reviews, the more concerned I am. Seems like Bloober once again delivered a challenge-less horror game that's basically a haunted house ride with solid scares but very little stakes. I've seen this complaint for the first Layers of Fear and it's still prevalent years after.

The Medium always looked like those adventure style environment tour puzzle games, hasn't it?
Seems the Silent Hill label being thrown around this game hasn't done it much favor for expectations.
Won't make a difference, doesn't unlock in NZ until around 6am on the 29th

i'd imagine its an error and means 9pm? Otherwise west coast gets it 9 hours later and idk where the other 2 US time zones would fit
Yeah, they acknowledge in the comments it's a mistake. It should be 12 pm, not am. I guess they didn't have time to make a new one
Excellent, that'll be my new game for February.You should totally get Evil Within 2, I enjoyed a lot more than the first one, gameplay is so much more refined in it.
Observer is an 86 on Xbox One but a 77 on PS4. According to many users in this thread, that's the difference between Game of the Year material and a total piece of shit.
The ps4 version has over twice as many reviews so a bigger sample pool.
Second is very different, it has some small open-world sryle maps to roam around in and explore, and some fo the exploration is really cool. You can pick it up really cheap now, I think it definitely might scratch thst itch.Yea hyped for Village. Almost thinking of grabbing Evil Within 2 because I really need something similar right now.

Not sure what that has to do with anything.And for clarity, 6 of the 8 Reviews for the Xbox Version are reviews from Xbox related Websites.
Even if there was inherit bias, it's not like the game was exclusive to Xbox. It doesn't make any sense that they'd score it higher.Maybe somewhat of an inherit bias in the review scores, which could lead to the difference of 7 points in the Meta Score? Especially when 3/4 of the scores are from Xbox centric sites. It goes both ways for both systems.

Yeah going to bed. 12pm is bullshit.Gonna pick this up, I just really hope it's scary
