I think we can expect less toxicity in review thread if the game turns out to be great. After all the pc version was announced.
Yeah me too.I hope the review thread is allowed to have a metacritic prediction poll, i'm very interested to see what most think it'll end up at.
Same lolI'm only getting up a few hours after the embargo, I'll be shocked if there's no "see staff post" in the title of the review thread at that point.
I want to sell you a bridge... Please tell me you are new to ERA review thread culture. Yes, they have a culture all their own, lol.I think we can expect less toxicity in review thread if the game turns out to be great. After all the pc version was announced.
Indeed, I'm relatively new to Era review thread culture ahaha.I want to sell you a bridge... Please tell me you are new to ERA review thread culture. Yes, they have a culture all their own, lol.

That may be truth but lets say DS ends up getting like a 96-97 (which I doubt), the review thread will become the usual toxicity because one way or another someone will begin to compare to it to BOTW or RDR2 and everyone will start getting their pitchforks ready to defend and attack each other XDI think we can expect less toxicity in review thread if the game turns out to be great.

Best case scenario for a pacifist review thread (lol) will be a solid low 90. Anything lower or higher...

Things I hope are true / want:
Is that so much to ask?!
- The story is good
- The story is crazy
- Gameplay is fine
- "new aspects" work well AND/OR demonstrate potential
- It to not be a complete letdown after years of waiting
At this point the review thread might bring more entertainment than the game itself.
Kojima the mad genius
Moz La Punk You must be having a blast reading all these comments. Can only imagine. ahah
It takes time for people to reflect.I was doing some research into Kubrick's The Shining and stumbled across the Metacritic. It's amusing reading some of the contemporary reviews from major outlets. Particularly when put side by side with current day write-ups. Many of the aspects criticised back then are now hailed as genre defining and stood the test of time.
My point, great pieces of art, be it film, music, literature, games. Can only truly be judged in the fullness of time.

I honestly hope so. 96+ nowadays is only reserved for Rockstar, 3D Mario and 3D Zelda games. Would love to see something different hit that mark.
Kojima has potential to get a 96+.I honestly hope so. 96+ nowadays is only reserved for Rockstar, 3D Mario and 3D Zelda games. Would love to see something different hit that mark.
That would be a huge fail considering Kojima's reputation.I'm sticking with my 81 meta prediction, but honestly, who bloody knows? Lol.
This is totally more accurate. Tear your soul apart with 80 uninterrupted pages of "what does it all mean" dissertations on the general idea of a video game review...
I love inappropriate movie gifs
That would be 10 points lower than the lowest mainline MGS
81 is not a good score. Who do you think you're fooling, lol
I kinda wish I was up at the time embargo drops to see how wild the atmosphere gets, but it will be 4am here. When I wake up I'll catch the aftermath though
I know a few people playing it, but I have no idea what kind of overall consensus this will get
Good, indeed. Just not Kojima's level.
