This has fallen to almost a solid 5.0 on user score on Metacritic and a new publication reviewed it which dropped it to an 82.
It’s definitely getting review bombed, it deserves a higher score than that. I get not everyone will like it but even just in terms of presentation and technical accomplishments it should be hovering around a 7.This has fallen to almost a solid 5.0 on user score on Metacritic and a new publication reviewed it which dropped it to an 82.
It doesn't deserve a 0. I think the IGN 6.8 is right on the money. If the game stuck the landing for me, I would of given it an 8.It’s definitely getting review bombed, it deserves a higher score than that.

Is it the PC fanboys mad that they’re having to wait for it, or the Sony fanboys mad it’s eventually coming to PC?
After seeing how fast the hype died for this, I've decided not to waste my time playing it. I'm just gonna watch all the cutscenes on youtube unless I reach a point where it gets too much for me. The soundtrack and some of the concepts seem nice, but I'm not into delivery simulation.
It was so far up it's own ass with such a lazy by the numbers Japanesy Kojima ending.Cutscenes-only on youtube were a bit too much for me as I found myself fast-forwarding often
I'm sure there's a really moving story, coupled with the gameplay, if you bring your own baggage and really get into it, but for 150 hours, I just don't wanna.
Yeah what's up with that? The only good song, or the only discernible song is the one they used for the 2nd trailer, the rest of the OST is samey ambient music, with little in features, melodies, rhythm, they might as well have use "ambient music for coding" from Youtube or something.Don't fall for the soundtrack hype
I think we always had our expectations placed wrong on Kojima, for some reason we always expected subtlety, but MGS1 is pretty much The Rock, he's Michael Bay with slightly better taste and an auteur complex, but apart from that, He's Japanese Michael Bay.It was so far up it's own a** with such a lazy by the numbers Japanesy Kojima ending.
I won't deny he can direct well and make it look polished... but writing?Yeah what's up with that?

I mean, the dude is the cream of the crop when it comes to technical production values, but he just can't tell a compelling story.
