It over for first partycels.

Embarrassing. This is what when you desperately try to pay to fill the holes in your release schedule.

[MikeLowrrrey]

Looking at the gameplay videos I was thinking the game looked outdated. Low and behold.

BUT, I've played mid 70s games that turned out good IMO. Mad Max was a 69, but for me it was a solid 8. Alien Isolation was a 79, but a 9.5 in my eyes.


I'm still gonna watch this game closely and possibly give it a try.

Bouncy tits and ass are the only reasons I have for owning a Playstation this year. Feelsbadman.

[rocketfish]

for a second there I thought it was the last ronin game

i was gonna be mad

[Muzzlrpress]

Will there be a demo? Hopefully it's one of those decent games that some people love.

[LtGoose]

What did they expect? The main character should had been a born again FTM drag queen. That's their target audience

[BigBallsMcgee]

Hopefully it's one of those decent games that some people love.

It is. Has some strong reviews.

I said it earlier, it reeks of a game that is treated more harshly than others because of when its released. Reviewers pick and choose when they want to dock points on certain things or if they're comparing to a relatively better game released at the time.

Days Gone was a similar situation where they complained that it didnt do anything new but that game is good.

Xcels would KILL for this game. Its a good game just not a GOTY.

[Strawng]

Damn. I was hyped for this one but now I'll either pass or wait til it's on sale someday. I was also underwhelmed by the reviews and early info for DD 2. Least I still have tons of hours left on Infinite Wealth plus all of Rebirth to play thru

[dankydank]

76 is much higher than the average test scores of people who post in this thread.

[Akd123]

Im sure its a decent game. People shouldnt of got their hopes up thinking its the next GoT

[OneLegSquats]

wtf u incels expect? DD2 is very highly rated and a GOTY contender.

gamers cant be pleased

You have to look at who the publisher is and compare it to what side of the console war you are on before determining good/bad game.

But i do think mid 70’s is in the good range, just not great

[mgftp]

Must be the Sony tax

[BearyManilowe]

Game looks good, not great. As long as they're fun, not every game needs to be a GoTY contender.

A bump just to LOL. Using the Sony pony metric 76 is absolute garbage.

This is probably one of those games you get when it's $10 and reasonably surprised it's not horrible.

Yea with the 8s & 9s dropping left & right plus how damn long every game is nowadays, a score in the 7s means save it for when it's in the bargain bin. A 5-6 would mean "absolute garbage" that should never be played.

[JayJ350]

It has too many QTE's

[Strawng]

It has too many QTE's

My sources tell me it's basically a controller-based DDR with samurai lmfao

[Akd123]

just saw a good review on this game and its a pretty solid game. Its just too Nioh and Soulslike for me.. This is a Japanese Openworld story based Souls like game. Worst part about this game is the graphics. I dont care about graphics as much as most people but its pretty unimpressive. Its probably better than most AC games

Fuk I forgot about Days Gone. Beat if from beginning to end. Didn't 100%, but got close. Even started a new playthrough before I dropped it

[freeburn]

Didn't interest me but no reason it can't be enjoyed even if it's mid tier

I enjoyed dead island 2 and it was mid af

Prob will be free on psplus and worth playing in a year

Day 1

[DASBUNKER]

It got a 95 from PS universe, fully based and unbiased score obviously

Yep in all seriousness, mid 70's is a decent game, above average by all metrics -- Though by gamer standards a good game is only 85+


To put it into perspective, this isnt even a first party studio, but more so a partnership between Sony and Team Ninja. Guessing the move into open world was a bit more for them to handle since I recall a lot of people praising the Nioh series. Gonna be a rough year for Sony though, even from the previews and trailers this game looked boring and meh personally.

Only Stellar Blade looks interesting for me and hopefully that one scores above 80.

W8.

You're telling me Sony still has "first party" studios?!
