Sonybots am cry.
But there are no flowers I hear.Played for about an hour last night. First impressions; floaty ass controls, gorgeous visuals, poor audio/VO, nails Mad Max feel, simple but fun combat, excessive motion blur. Overall I'm enjoying the game, though the motion blur while the camera is panning is near nauseating.
Looks like the game fizzled out as predicted.
Ouch.
Actually, the game is doing better than predicted. Gamers have just been loving it. Got a good 77 on metacritic:

and user score of 8.1.
Glad it did so well. Seems like my friends list is filled now with people playing the game.
It's simply amazing.Best game of the year so far IMO.
It's so fun, and addicting.

According to metacritic the user score is a .6 points lower than Metal Gear. lol. Not to mention probably over half the ppl blowing up MGS are raging fanboys, not that it isn't a great game.
1) Publishers send review copies to press prior to release so that critics can play the game before they launch. They send the version of the game that they feel will be scored most favorably for obvious marketing purposes. This version of the game, the PS4 version, scored a 70 on Metacritic. The version your using, the XBO version, was only reviewed by 9 outlets.
2) Both the PS4 and XBO versions of the game have been given an 8.2 (PS4) and 8.1 (XBO) by the public, four days after release. I'm not sure about you, but I wouldn't take much credence in reviews written by Metacritic users a day, or two, or three, after release. Honestly, have you read some of the early reviews the public gives these open world 50+ hour games? lol, I think not.
1) So The Phantom Pain's early public review score is "blown up" by rabbid MGS fans when it's sitting at an 8.7, and the critics have it at a 95? Do high profile releases ever get "blown up" by the public when compared to the critics? No, they do not. In actuality, high profile releases get dinged by crybaby vigilanties who feel grading a game a 0 makes them some kind of justice fighter for the little man.
If there is a disconnect between gamers and critics on high profile releases, it is ALWAYS the gamers who are downgrading the game. Lest we forget...
Mass Effect 3 getting a 5.7 from the public.
Dota 2 getting a 6.4 from the public.
Fez getting a 6.2 from the public.
Call of Duty MW 3 getting a 3.3 from the public.
Diablo 3 getting a 4.0 from the public.
NBA2k14 getting a 4.4 from the public.
There are tons of these kinds of examples and they all have to do with quirky little nerd gamer issues rather than actual game quality.
But yeah, The Phantom Pain, sure is getting blown up by all the 0's it's getting by gamers who feel outraged about microtransactions, DLC, and Kojima-Konami gate.
People. Learn how to Metacritic better.
TL;DR
You chose...poorly.
A truly amazing experience
It's just sensational. A beast of a game, both artistically and dramatically. It's the quintessential epitome of epitome.

If you're wanting BK: Nuts and Bolts type creation, you won't find it here.Watched the movie tonight for the 1st time, nonstop thrillride. Whew! The hybrid vehicle creations were the highlight of the show for me. I will definitely get this game if you are given Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts abilities to fashion up your own ride that responds to proper physics. Anything less and I will wait for a window to open up when I don't have a game to play...and with all the new releases coming that will be post-holidays.
Sounds like you're creating your own narrative and showing everyone your own bias.Kvally, it's quite obvious the Phonies are now going to start downplaying the enjoyment of this game because it shows better on X1. They don't want MadMax to be involved in List Wars as a "insert ambiguous term here" title that would put a chink in their armor. Watch how MW's praise for the game will now subside with it being better on X1.
As an unbiased observer I can't help but chuckle watching how these things play out like a script.
Edit: love the mod auto edit for writing Triple A, lol.
