What's the problem? I know it's a build from Gamescom. I just make a fun of that gif. Btw. reviews aren't so great. Scores won'z go up i edit the post. So, blame the devs then. They made the game. And reviews are what they are.

My problem, Asshole, is that you purposely posted the gif without context spawning a shit-ton of hate and hot takes for pages and pages. Even when it's pointed out to you, you refuse to edit the context in.

You knew exactly what you were doing, especially in a thread like this, and that just makes it worse. But the crazy part is that I'm the one about to get warned for calling you out, and you'll get away with your garbage post, but boy do I mean it when I say you're a fucking moron.

just seen a few comments on a review posted on FB and people are more worried about what it scores overall Vs Spiderman than what the review says or anything about the game.

fucking shitty gaming culture . ... what a depressing thing to see ..

The "lul waypoint reviews" as a response to the idea that Tomb Raider's story might be shit at addressing the colonial overtones they set up is wild.

Doubly so considering who wrote that review.

???

I think animation is generally solid throughout except during conversations with random, optional NPCs. Those do look pretty bad (well, similar to Deus Ex MD, honestly).
I almost get Deus Ex MD in promotion on Saraiva. This conversations are really so bad there?

From Kotaku's review:


That's rough. Game's looking good though.

Who thought any of that was a good idea?

There's no point in looking at the MC score atm when it has like 20 reviews less than OC. Give it some time. It seems it will end up around 80 or so.

Because you posted it like it was from the retail build or a review vid. Not saying it was from a old build from Gamescom. And you saw the reaction people had because they think its from the retail version.

Seem great reviews for the people that enjoyed the previous two entries.

In any case, next reboot should be fun to see, hopefully Crystal is busy once again, if Avengers is a hit, and they give the IP to a newcomer to the franchise.

The Hitman 2 review thread in November is going to be an absolute shitshow when you consider the most beloved game in the entire series...

I hate to say this, but this is why so many modern AAA games are super homogenized. It's not good enough to get heaps of 9/10 scores and a sprinkling of less flattering ones. Your game doesn't have the freedom to make divisive creative choices. The divisive Hitman: Absolution scored three points lower (79 to Blood Money's 82), and people went crazy because scoring three points lower than one of the most beloved stealth games of all time marked it as complete trash.

There are 6 points of difference between PS4 and Xbox reviews. Is the PS4 that bad in comparison with xbox ?

Easy Allies giving this an 8.5 is what really shocks and encourages me. They seemed so down on the game and an 8.5 means it's surprisingly good.

Yep, I really think that the obsession with other people's gaming scores is a very bad thing for video games. It looks to be around an 80 Metacritic when averaged across all reviews which isn't terribly surprising and means that it should be a really fun great looking game, especially for those who enjoyed the first one. Spider-Man has an 87 on Metacritic which is deserved based on the fun playthrough that I am currently going through, but there shouldn't be any direct tie between the two for only a 7/100 point difference across many reviews.

Guess this will be pretty cheap soon on all platforms which is good.
Probably sub 20 for a PC Key should be possible in 2 months.

Has absolutely nothing to do with that.
More reviews are available for the PS4 Version and some aren't counted on both sides.

And that 40% Telegraph isn't on the 83% Xbox page. Weird that they shipped different review copies. Looks like it was fifty-fifty PS4 and XBO.

Square is always weird with this shit. People got DQ really late, some people got digital, some physical, some still haven't gotten a review copy.

No it has more reviews attached to it than the xbox MC page

no modern game to my knowledge has that problem of being reviewed bad on one platform and good on another it's just MC being inferior to open critic

"To the designer who thought filling a video game with insta-fail, underwater stealth sections was a good idea, I have a message for you: no."

Funny, neither myself or my 16-year old daughter have never died in the water sections. I mean, I get it all. But knocking a game because you possibly aren't good at it, is that fair to the game?

Big TR fan so it was just a matter whether the game was broken or buggy so all in. My only concern are "extended" underwater sequences – it's on my list of shit I hate to see in games but I'll deal with it. Other than that I like they aren't straying too far from the other games.

to be fair absolution being complete trash marked the game as complete trash. reviews had very little to do with it. more the linear gameplay structure which was new (and worse)

I died via flesh eating fish a couple times when I wasn't really paying attention. But I would never call them insta fail. But that is just my experience.

It's so disappointing to see members on other forums tear into certain reviewers, literally labelling them racist, for daring to point out the problematic pitfalls of this game.

Like, sis just caused the death of hundreds of indigenous people, then wears indigenous dress, then poses herself as the stereotypical white saviour.

Optics.

I'd say $30.

Is there a console bundle that gives a digital code? Because that's a sure way to drive down digital sale prices.
