What is the actual score when accounting for all of the reviews and not just the ones Meta accepts?
His criticism was less about the gameplay and more about he and several other Waypoint writers felt some aspects of the story and treatment of certain characters were misogynistic, and that while most reviews praised the story, none seemed to address or mention or even notice this.
It wasn't like, "oh, how can critics think this is good". It was more, "maybe we need to judge and examine narrative more critically"
Oh of course. Just like how Monster Hunter reminded him of Trumps sons killing animals. Guys a tool.
So that just shows that others don't think it was misogynistic, no need to get upset that others don't.
Oh that makes much more sense than the initial wording.
Yea, I'll probably share those criticisms as well then depending on how stuff is handled and if it turns out to be true.
They weren't upset? It wasn't like, "oh, how can critics think this is good". It was more, "maybe we need to re-consider how we judge and examine narrative"
Just an interesting discussion
I haven't played a God of War since the original and thought that game was just alright so this wasn't even on my radar. But after those reviews... I'm pre-loaded and good to go for tonight.
But I'm so good at missing out on the best deal (and clicky)
Why thank you, I'll just pop my axe over here, next to this sleeping gentleman and sit at this table for a few hours looking menacing. The alcohol list if you wouldn't mind.
Oh gotchya. Well if it's true then I agree with reviewers reconsidering but these day people on the Internet can be so extreme they call things misogynistic that really aren't so I'd have to see for myself if I agree that it is.
Possibly the biggest first party first party launch for sony.
big positive, that's why I was disappointed when I read the cliff notes of the other review stating the opposite albeit he was talking overall :(
The site gave the game 10/10 but it is not on Meta and many other sites. I don't know what criteria MetaCritic seeks to consider specific sites.
I wonder if those elements were present to demonstrate how off base Kratos still is as an individual despite trying to raise his son. However, Austin has played the game so if it had done so it didn't do it well. At least, I'll keep that in mind until I can play it myself.
I hate that everything has to have a social commentary right now... I'm not against it but everytime I see itI feel like I'm watching a commercial interrupting a football match and performed by the players.
It happened with every Oscar nominated movie from last year.
There should be a better way of integrate this into the storytelling.
Sorry for saying this but seeing that there's a critic for this stuff in God of War reminded me of this.

Austin is a pretty insightful writer but I feel he reads into things a bit too much and makes some points that I feel are reaching. The Trump thing in relation to Monster Hunter World was one of those. Like he had a good point but I don't think he made it in the best way and it just kind of derailed his own discussion a bit.
Someone should round up ALL of the scores and see the average. I know there are probably close to 50 not included on MC.
I got lucky on youtube. I even watched a few reviews and some other videos and most of my recommendations are unrelated or at best, non spoilery. Then again i watch a ton of stuff on youtube and also use it for music at times so I can see why I had such luck.
Its damn impressive with how many reviews its based on. Its at like 90 something now? That's wild.
On Metacritic? Around that last I checked but its got far more that aren't counted there.
If anything it seems like its pushed people to go elsewhere or just DL it on PSN.
There aren't really that many questions I can ask at the moment but I'd like to know, given I've seen multiple posts expressing it, what it is about the post game that makes it so compelling. Without spoiling anything, does 'something' change after the game ends? A simple Yes/No will suffice.
Clear your history and then dislike and remove any that pop up after. If you've still got them in your recommended, just like a Gordon Ramsey video.
How do we know it's Amazon and not Sony sending less than needed?
I respect Austin a lot, but sometimes his criticisms feels sooo forced. I have more to comment on in reference to one of their criticisms after which I stopped listening due to it feeling spoilery, at least I thought it was spoilery, so I'll wait til I've finished the game for more context.
I like a lot of the people at Waypoint, but unfortunately can't listen to them all the time as sometimes their criticisms feel so cyclic.
I did that earlier, I found 121 reviews but I might have missed some. 48 of those are perfect scores (39.7%, which is higher than the 34.8% on meta), and the average was 95.26446.
I just checked Last of us and that's off 98 critics. Ocarina of time is only 22. But BotW is 109 critics. That's frickin crazy
Almost feels like the number of critics should factor into the all time score somehow.

Haha, that's better than me. I'm at the mercy of whenever UPS reaches my house :(

I have to then question if it is even there. Not saying they're wrong, I obviously haven't played, but the fact that no reviews have mentioned it, kind of makes it hard to believe that it's there.
