In the trailer/footage ive seen theres the cliche ghost kid swinging on a swing, etc
It 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?
Ah I assume you mean this one...
Yeah it does not look that great acting wise...
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.
What site? Maneater has only two 90s for the PS4 version on Metacritic. https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/maneater/critic-reviews
To answer your question what I was saying is purely anecdotal and I would love to be proven wrong.
How massively the scores of horror games often vary between identical entries of the same game kind of supports what I was saying.
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...
Won't make a difference, doesn't unlock in NZ until around 6am on the 29th
Well if you need combat in horror, there is still Returnal and RE Village.
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.
Technically, we seem to be swimming in 8s (the modal score), which is probably about the best I could have hoped for.
We swimmin in 7s baby
Is the PC port as big of a mess as people are saying? Hearing that it drops down to 15fps at times on a 3080 and high end CPU/SSD and stuttering regardless of overall FPS (unreal engine issue for sure if true, seen it loads of times before, poor framepacing.)
Blair Witch was pretty awful as a port on PC as well and was and still is, riddled with stuttering for me on my 3080.

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.
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.
You should totally get Evil Within 2, I enjoyed a lot more than the first one, gameplay is so much more refined in it.
Yeah, everything we've seen has been more puzzles and adventure game like. The comparison to Silent Hill and Resident Evil was always more about the presentation and stuff: the fixed camera angles, the tone, etc. They never really tried to portray the game would actually play anything like those, but I get where people ran with it if you didn't actually follow what they were showing.
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
I was expecting high 7s for this game and it still seems like most reviews place it around that. At a glance, it appears that it's a few outlier scores that are woefully low dragging it into a low 7 overall. Still excited to play what in my mind is the first true next gen title for Series X, though, and since its on Game Pass, really no reason not to give it a fair shake!
I'm glad you mentioned this, I was going to say it as well. You see the same score distribution for comedic films. If the jokes don't land, then the movie is like a 2/10 for you. Nothing can really "save" it. A comedy that didn't make you laugh just can't score well with you specifically.
The same goes for a horror product that didn't scare you.
just looks like a remake of What Linus Bruckman Sees When His Eyes Are Closed

A review score. His guess is that it have some review score from 1-100.
And for clarity, 6 of the 8 Reviews for the Xbox Version are reviews from Xbox related Websites.
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.
Or replay Dead Space gams like I am!
Wait, what? I've been planning all day to play this tonight in like 2 hours... I even took off of work tomorrow so that I could stay up late playing. God damnit.
I feel like they just threw together that graphic at the last minute. Wrong EST date, "RELESASE DATE", etc..
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.
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.
I agree, it isn't an exclusive, and there shouldn't be bias. But they are still reviewing the Xbox Version of the game on an Xbox Site, so it's not like that is out of the realm of possibilities. And if you want to look at the Medium, 3 of the top 6 highest scores for the Medium are from 3 of these same sites that scored Observer so well. I mean, the PlayStation sites do the same thing.
Gonna pick this up, I just really hope it's scary
Edit: Ah what a load of shit, gotta wait til 12pm to play it
