Why would you care about that?

MC user scores are the ass-crack of the gaming community. Why would anyone look at them as a measure of anything?

I do not. Read my reply to another post further down that page.

The Witcher 3
and Persona 5

id say P5 has the biggest chance.

Editlus that pillars game.

Ah, how could I forget? Overall, these games are diverse in what they set out to do. Shaping up to be a great year I reckon

 

[Mass Effect]

Looks like this will be PS4's highest-rated exclusive for a while. While it has absolutely no bearing on my purchase, it's at least good to see the game getting high marks.

The Witcher 3
and Persona 5

id say P5 has the biggest chance.

Editlus that pillars game.

lol. Maybe on GAF, but everywhere else it will be the Witcher and we know it.

No, I take that back. Not even on GAF. No chance.

Dragon Age, Persona 5

?

 

[IAmRandom31]

What sort if list is this? PS4 games of 2015?

yeh, PS4 actually has 90+ games in the green on metacritic.

 

[tattooed_dwarf]

yea, looks like we're at the console list wars portion of the thread

Nooo, we don't need that shait here!

 

[Sayers]

Does this at least confirm RPG of the year? What is Bloodborne's competition?

It's fucking March

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Persona 5 is going to be another huge one. I really can't wait... My body is just quivering at the thought. That game will have another outstanding 8-10 ratio for scores.

 

[mrklaw]

2015 scores update

Spoiler

no games here guys

5 of the top 10 metacritic scores are console exclusive on Playstation which has no games?

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Favorite Metacritic donut so far:

This game is very bad i dont know how a game could be any worse it is just so bad, the gameplay is bad and everything about the game is bad. the graphics are worse than the Xbox 360! Just bad. - Barrack_Osama

Thanks Osama.

Talking about GOTY stuff is highly embarrassing. There's no one consensus on anything, and people have all sorts of tastes.

Most of you haven't even played the damn game yet. Play it first, then maybe we can talk about GOTY.

 

[RK9039]

Does this at least confirm RPG of the year? What is Bloodborne's competition?

Other than TW3 maybe Pillars of Eternity and the new Shadowrun.

For me at least.

 

[sasliquid]

Persona 5 might be the big break through for the series like FF7 was. Still think it might not be out in the west this year though, hope I'm wrong.

I can't say who will be praised more out of P5, W3 and BB. If none of them are big disappointments it might be really close.

 

[Instro]

Pillars of Eternity.

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

Does this at least confirm RPG of the year? What is Bloodborne's competition?

Persona 5
Xenoblade X
Witcher 3
Pillars of Eternity
Trails in the Sky SC
Bravely Second
Etrian Mystery Dungeon
Etrian Odyssey Untold 2
Tales of Zestiria
Operation Abyss
Oreshika
Darkest Dungeon
Grim Dawn
Cosmic Star Heroine
...and a whole lot more that I'm forgetting.

Pretty awesome year for RPGs.

Not saying that PS has no games, but that list is for PS4 only and doesn't include other platforms.

Games that didn't cost half a billion dollars to make don't count.

You're right.. we should really be talking about game of the generation!

 

[Blanquito]

I think that's why he said console exclusive. I understood it to mean: "looking at all the ps4 games that are available, 5/10 best scoring ones are console exclusive." I think.

 

[shmoglish]

4players review without a score at the Moment, but right now it's "ausgezeichnet/excellent". That means 90+ on their scale.

 

[Dynomutt]

So is this IP a new......Franchise?

He's pretty much a Miyazaki fanboy, I had no doubt this would score worse than Dark Souls 2, which was a 88.

and I really dislike the community of 4players, such a negative community.

 

[Final Verdict]

Wow, great scores!! I'm sure they are well deserved.

Congratz to Sony Japan, and From Software on making such a successful collaborative project come to life!

Yup. Don't know why I am still there. Dislike most of Community, not a fan of the reviews. But looking for a New home after 9 years is hard

Spoiler

stops crying

 

[cakely]

Is this real life?

I was really hoping for some good reviews, but those are GOTY scores, right there.

 

[pixlexic]

So is this IP a new......Franchise?

It's more of a offshoot than a new ip. I mean it's around 95% the exact same as Dark souls.

 

[Pinktaco]

Just killed the first boss. So happy

I was somewhat frustrated on the game earlier, but now I'm enjoying the game much more.

[INFINITY TR1GG3R]

I'd love to say i'm shocked by these reviews but this was expected.

If Sony are wise they will lock the From staff in a bunker and keep them away from Microsoft at all costs. Keeping their work exclusive is a heavy hit to the XB1.

Couldn't Sony release proper sequels?

You're embarrassed? You're highly embarrassed? Weird. We're not.

yup, it's essentially a new franchise

Still waiting for the 1 inevitable 70 score. Theres always one.

Of course on a PS4 top metacritic list there is mostly PS4 games... and some are exclusives omg

You could even say that according to this list PS4 has all the games.

But yeah I agree that PS4 has now a lot of good games... not for every tastes though. Resogun is the only game I'm interested in and I don't have yet, Olli Olli 2 will wait but seems as good as first, Hotline Miami 2 is said to be a little disapointing... and you'll note that the 3 games I want are sequels... so another argument of complaint regarding PS4 library (let's not derail though).

Bloodborne seems good. I may try it since I didn't enjoy Souls games and the most fast paced action in this game may be more for me. I'll watch Jim's review

FROM is making 2 more PS4 games aren't they? They're already in Sony's corner.

 

[Recidivus Crimen]

Wow those are some great reviews. Congrats to the developers. Now Im really tempted to buy it tomorrow.

Highly embarrassing lol. I can safely say that it is the best game to come out so far this year so definitely a contender for GOTY.

 

[TimeEffect]

Really? Big name games? new IPs?

 

[Fedelias]

Shit, Amazon JUST cancelled my collector's edition pre-order (delayed it until like April 20th). I'm really pissed off, I was really looking forward to playing Bloodborne today. Kind of OT (apologies) but is there any way to resolve this with Amazon?

 

[farisr]

You could even say that according to this list PS4 has all the games.

I think what he was trying to get at was some of the stuff people come up with in list wars along the lines of "nearly all of ps4's top 10 metacritic games are available on other consoles, where are the good quality exclusives sony?"

 

[Iorv3th]

It's more of a offshoot than a new ip. I mean it's around 95% the exact same as Dark souls.

That didn't stop Dark Souls even though it was 95% (no data to back this up) the same as Demons Souls

Couldn't Sony release proper sequels?

Sure they could.

 

[SolidSnakex]

FROM is making 2 more PS4 games aren't they? They're already in Sony's corner.

The company that owns them (Kadokawa) are currently making two PS exclusives.

 

[mcz117chief]

Daaaaamn, son. I still don't regret getting FF Type-0 but....

 

[Beelzebufo]

That didn't stop Dark Souls even though it was 95% (no data to back this up) the same as Demons Souls

Sure they could.

I mean do people really consider Dark Souls to be a completely different series from Demons Souls? Outside of tbe people collecting royalties?

 

[CMojicaAce]

I had a dream that the Metacritic for Bloodborne dropped to 83 and everybody here was losing their minds...

 

[Deadpool_X]

Alright! Good for Sony! It looks like the PS4 finally has its must-own exclusive. My PS4 purchase in November how now been justified.

Sorry then... ignore this part of the post

No, I take that back. Not even on GAF. No chance.



?

We know it will be witcher? Looking at past entries of Persona and bloodbornes metacritic score, it definitely doesn't seem unlikely to me that either could be better. Witcher 1 & 2 aren't really thaaaaaat critically acclaimed.

Can't wait to play all three though, gonna be a fucking awesome year (Please come in 2015 to EU P5)

 

[repeater]

Has anyone used the updated to the Bloodborne sound files for their PS4 Gold Wireless Headset? How is it? I'm thinking of buying the headset after work tonight.

I haven't got the game yet (EU peasant) so haven't had the chance to try out the sound setting. In general, my experience with these game-specific settings for the headset is that the differences are subtle. Certainly not a definitive reason to opt for this specific headset. Though the headset is generally nice, I'm not an audio expert by any means but I'm happy with it. People with more experience with these things seem to agree that it's good value for money.

Oh. My mistake.

 

[ekgrey]

Wow, really happy to see this! I traded my PS4 for a Wii U a couple months back and it'll definitely be a bit before I get another, but I'm glad I'll have this waiting for me when I do.

 

[Netherscourge]

So is this IP a new......Franchise?

It was originally a sequel to Demon Souls, but now it looks like it's own, Sony-funded franchise.
