Support NeoGAF

[Jonneh3003]

That would put it as in the top 50 meta scores of all time

You cannot really think this

I really do, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are that good.

I know we're on opposing sides, but lol I love this gif.

 

[Ocarina_117]

I really could not care how this game reviews.

SoTC and Ico are the two best arguments for video games as an art form. I have faith in Ueda.

 

[mrklaw]

Does this ship with pro support out of the box or does it need a patch? Any news on how it'll support pro?

Don't care about MC, this is one of very few games where I almost don't give a shit what anyone thinks, I just hope it hits some of the same notes that ICO and SotC did for me back in the day.

Well said.

 

[BraXzy]

I cannot wait for this game, I've locked in 80 on OpenCritic but I hope it does better.

Can we stop with the staggered worldwide releases though? I thought we'd moved past that

this game can get 20/100 metascore and I'm sure it will be the GOTY 2016 for me.

 

[DirtyCase]

been waiting for this since SotC

Spoiler

83

 

[- J - D -]

That is the closest we get to a consensus whether you agree or not. By the best standard available it was a good year of exclusives.

Ah yes, the warm embrace of the consensus is a safe and comforting feeling.

I just checked and realised UK gets the game last worldwide on Friday.
Fuck my life.

For a story heavy game, this sucks!

 

[RulkezX]

Games like Flower , Journey , Ico and SoTC have all reviewed well. If TLG deserved it , it'll get good scores.

From the early impression thread I expect high 70's / low 80's.

Score won't matter to fans anyway, seem some have decided is their GOAT without even playing it.

 

[Ethelwulf]

The Last Guardian has 15 letters. 15. We've been waiting 7 years so 70 + 15 = 85. So 85 metacritic score confirmed.

Yup, tell me about it. I noticed recently too that Horizon is coming out 3 days later here as well.

 

[Vaga]

If this turns out to be middling, 2016 will literally be the worst year for Sony exclusives.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Ah yes, the warm embrace of the consensus is a safe and comforting feeling.

It's better than any individual's opinion except my own!

 

[Arion]

I think there will be an awful lot of goodwill toward this game from reviewers.

I think the opposite. Because of the 9 year wait reviewers will slam it for not meeting exceptions.

 

[MrHoot]

After playing it, I'm expecting scores in the 80+. Game is stellar but performance issues and other nitpicks will knock it from 90+

 

[20cent]

68

be ready

Well that didn't happen with FFFXV so I see no reason why TLG will be held to a higher standard.

 

[- J - D -]

Firewatch was pretty good.

 

[-MD-]

85

 

[OléGunner]

I'm like how on earth did I miss the delayed launch?!

UK plebs stay losing with Sony release dates
I'm getting a Pro next week so I guess I'll just wait to play it there.

Tryna find a positive lol

Unless framerate drops to the tens, I can't see the game losing points for that, specially when it's something that can be fixed with a patch.

 

[JayBabay]

First few pages selling this game short. Should be around 86, reviewers will be kind to this game.

 

[somecrazymember]

Firewatch was pretty good.

What are you talking about?

 

[Brix]

81.

 

[Harmen]

82. I expect the consensus to be that it is a fantastic experience with technical issues and some jank.

 

[MrHoot]

Eh, i'd personally put it at a 9/10 for me but mileage may vary for tolerance. It's not that bad but that's what i'd expect if I'd aggregate a lot of reviews.

Honestly tho i've heard that what miffs some reviewers is "other stuff" (from the other thread) and I wonder what it would be, but i'm feeling some bullshit coming about, and genuinely afraid some scores might vary because the game doesn't "fall in line" with "modern design"

 

[Prisoner KSC2-303]

75 - I'm expecting a fair few deliberately low contrarian scores to even things out with those who'll give it an easy ride.

Like most, I'm getting it regardless. It's been too long.

 

[black070]

78 on Metacritic is my guess, anything higher would be awesome.

 

[FloweryMarston]

90

 

[Alienfan]

I just bought a pro for this game, will it make a difference to the framerate vs what you get on a normal PS4?

 

[Trevelyon]

best I could hope for would be 89, worst would be 70 or lower.

I'm going with 81.

 

[Rafus]

78

 

[Acquiescence]

I'm fucking bricking it in regards to the reviews dropping today. I know I shouldn't be so emotionally invested in scores dished out by a bunch of journos, but I can't help it. It's the culmination of all those years of emotional roller-coaster rides wrought by this game.

 

[Carl]

this game can get 20/100 metascore and I'm sure it will be the GOTY 2016 for me.

Yup, totally agree. Curious to see how it reviews, but it won't effect my buying decision in any way

 

[Kenzodielocke]

77 what it will be
87 what I want it to have.

 

[His Majesty]

70

 

[WITHE1982]

To say reviews with be divisive will be an understatement.

I expect the scores to settle around 82 with a few 9s & 10s mixed in with a couple of 4s or 5s.

This is the one game for me where scores wont make any difference at all.

Same here. I will buy the game no matter the score, but still...

Expecting 85-ish, but hoping for 93 lol.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

90 even is my hopeful guess. If it can come close to Ico then technical issues be damned it will be a 10 in my book.

The thing is if you dock a brilliant game too much because of tech issues that don't hamper it too much you're going to look like an idiot in the coming years. Unless of course the issues mean a broken game or something crazy.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

It will have Pro support, but I don't know if it is Day One or what it will consist of.

 

[eizarus]

I'm expecting low 80s with it being a great game hampered by technical issues. Standard TeamICO job basically.

If this turns out to be middling, 2016 will literally be the worst year for Sony exclusives.

 

[ty_hot]

I had the game preordered, then I cancelled it because of a trip, then the trip got cancelled.

Gonna grab it used early next year.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

FWIW

This will stick with me forever.
