Contract studio that doesn't own ip is going to max out at 9/10. So in my book, they scored a home run.
They just make use of most of the 0-10 scale unlike most other publications out there who rate everything from dross to masterpieces on a 6-10 scale.Man gamekult are harsh with their reviews.
7 is not a bad score
I dunno. Almost every game I play is better than a 75. Games have been very high quality lately.
Man I guess the rumor was wrong, damn that would have been worth 60 bucks by itself
Yeah I would not call them harsh, in their words a 6/10 for example is still a good but flawed game. A 7/10 to their eyes is a pretty good game but lacks something to be excellent. From 8/10 you can consider it's a masterpiece or a future classic. A 10 would be the god of video games, which is why they never gave any game a 10.

Happy for Insomniac. Hard work pays off.
The encouraging takeaway of Spider-Man's weaknesses is that Insomniac got the hardest stuff right, imo, and the rest is easily fixable in a sequel.
Haha, first post in the review prediction thread I said 88 on the dot.
Will most likely change, but still.
88 is damn damn good.

I love Spiderman but man do open world games bore me now and knowing it follows that same formula is a huge turnoff.
That just means you need to be more critical.
and I'm not referring to spiderman by the way. I haven't played it so I can't say one way or the other. It was a general statement of the entire gaming scene and how overly kind everyone is with scoring.
I'm down for the ACG, SkillUp and EZA reviews. They're definitely my go to's for game impressions. I don't put too much weight in aggregate. That said, this is looking likely to hit a nice late 80's range for Insomniac. Congrats to the devs :). Certainly looks like a crazy amount of hard work has gone into this, and for the most part has paid off splendidly.
I completely appreciate your negatives, but you have to appreciate that the kind of bustling life you speak of that you want in an open world game is simply an unprecedented ask that pretty much no studio in the world bar maybe one or two, actually have tbe manpower and budget for with this type of game.
The only games that really have that level of focus on those things, are games where those things are a core focus, eg open world urban crime or life sim games (GTA, Yakuza, Persona etc), but since Spider-Man's focus isn't at a ground level nor replicating what is essentially a life or crime sim, it doesn't really make sense to have so many resources focused on that sort of thing. It would only detract from the actual super hero elements and gameplay.

Wow, I practically nailed the Metacritic! I said it would be 87 or 88, and it looks like it will end up at either of those numbers.
Amazing scores, still.

Awesome scores, although easy allies is all that I needed.
Now to knock down Best buy's doors on the 7th

Nah, Euros score it as it should be scored. In US these days an 8 in ok grade, a 7 is a bad game, which is totally stupid.
Can't wait to play it.
