Only 94 on Metacritic http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/metal-gear-solid-4-guns-of-the-patriots 34 games on MC higher. Sons of Liberty is higher and Subsistence is equal. So much for "industry standard".

[QUOTE="lamprey263"]Since when is 8.0 bad?ChubbyGuy40

Whenever it's a positive for Nintendo platforms.

An 8.0 is and has never been bad.

What you are dealing with are uneducated children with profiles on an internet gaming forum. Young, simple-minded buffoons that don't actually know anything about video games yet who still choose to frequent a gaming forum to show how truly inept they are because they can hide behind a username and an avatar of their favorite video game character.

Those of us who are intelligent and over the age of 20 know that an 8 is a pretty brilliant score and indicative of a game worth your time and hard earned cash. Just like The Last of Us. Just like the Wonderful 101.

When it comes to these babies who are complaining? Just do what I do. Laugh at them and move on. ;)

[QUOTE="Blabadon"] They have Blu-ray players at AT&T Park? At least something there is entertaining when the Giants are playing. ;)Blabadon

No, but after the Giants swept the Tigers, they had blu-ray box sets, championship caps, t-shirts, and sweatshirts all for sale. I got a whole bunch of them. :)

And then came 2013. :D Don't mind a rematch though, wish that we could have had a more competitive series. Not only that, but Wilson now left for a team that can actually win a baseball game, so if that were to ever theoretically happen, it wouldn't be the same.

Which is a dissapointing year, yes, but after 2010 and '12, I have seen my team win two championships. I don't have the right to be that upset. :)

Wilson wasn't even on our active roster most of 2012. He blew out his arm back in April and had to have a second tommy john surgery. He basically pitched only one game that whole year.

Not a bad score at all but not great either

GS gave it an 8.0

The Good

  • Combat system is entertaining and unique   
  • Great variety of enemies and weapons  
  • Practice makes perfect.

The Bad

  • Levels sometimes outstay their welcome   
  • Drawing certain shapes can be fiddly.

Not "Great" ? What does that word say under the big 8.0? :|

This game might be lucky to be AA on Metacritic. Damn somehow nintendo even ruined Kamiya.

foxhound_fox

http://www.metacritic.com/person/hideki-kamiya Viewtiful Joe, Okami and Devil May Cry are his only 90 games.

Except all his other games are 85+ and all his directed ones are AAA.

80-89 = AA You didn't specify 85+ And I guess you didn't see RE2 (GC) and Viewtiful Joe GBA.

I said this one would be lucky to get AA. It's currently averaging 75, not accounting for metacritics weighting and yeah I didn't see RE2, but VJ on DS is not his game. It's Inaba's.

Bayonetta too. That only lists the PS3 version for some reason, when it's obviously the inferior of the two.

edit: looking at that again, every game he directed is at least a 90 except for RE2 and that's an 89. Don't really care for MC, but that's impressive.

BTW have you seen kill la kill? Looks pretty cool from the artbook.

Oh cool, looking at Wonderful 101, then looking at TLOU...same score you saying? talk about overrated game and you know which one i talk about :lol:

Hhhmm.. no not really. A game called Tetris score like a 9.0 from most critics. Just because a game looks better, doesn't mean it's better. The Wonderful 101 may have scored high on it's gameplay and fun. We'll know more once more reviews start hitting Metacritic and Gamerankings.

I thought TLOU was slightly underrated. I gave it an 8.5 personally. I can't judge The Wonderful 101, but I know Gamespot has been pretty harsh on game scores recently. So this game could be better (or worse). Unless I play it for myself, I can't say it sucks.

I'd accept a MC or GR score over a Gamespot one though. Still MC and GR are irrelevant in SW. Not sure why cows kept trying to use it to damage control TLOU. It is, what it is.

Yeah, I'm pretty hyped for it. It looks like Sawano is doing the OST so it should sound as good as it looks too.

Damn, that would be awesome if it's confirmed, next year has alot of interesting shows. I don't really watch too many normally (maybe about 4) but I'm really looking forward to that, space dandy, OVA 7 of Gundam Unicorn and a few others.
