Official Thread State of Decay 2
- Thread starter The Wolf King
- Start date
I kept my Game Pass another month to try this out. If it doesn’t hold my attention long then I’m canceling till Crackdown 3 hits.
Na, I've already said Sea of Thieves is what it is. I also haven't followed the game for 2 years. I just said there would be more in the retail game than beta, and there was. You're wrong on all points, once again. Big shocker from the resident looney bin.
And weren't switching sides between Sony and MS for the last 5 years with your delusional multi-personality disorder ridden rants?
The original State of Decay was a 78 on the Xbox 360. So far, every preview of this beta build, has stated that the game is better in every way than the original. That should put the game in the 80's a bare minimum.
Who cares about metacritic scores, as long as YOU have fun with it, I don't think much else matters.
I doubt it.
Games have advanced a lot in the last 5 years. It sounds like the game doesn't try to do anything appreciably new from the original and incremental improvements aren't going to tilt the needle. There's been too many negative previews (canary in a coal mine) for this game to score well. Mid to high 70's is my guess.

That's true but I have noticed some coorelation between games that score well and games that I enjoy. I think we'd all like to see State of Decay 2 score a 90+ on Metacritic.
That's a point I've been trying to make for years...
I'd much rather State of Decay 2 average a 94 on Metacritic than a 74 on Metacritic. I think we can all agree on that.
I wish every game in the world got a 100 on metacritic. I think we can all agree on that.
Lol, oh no! The link you posted was a critic aggregate on Fortnite: Save the World, which by all accounts kind of sucks. The only review for the main game (Battle Royale) that I'm aware of is from IGN who gave it a 9.5.
I can see we're getting into the usual territory here with you though so I'll leave you with this. Your first response was that you thought it would score a "minimum in the 80's" which suggests you do care about critic scores. Then you realized that was a losing battle so you allowed the paradigm to shift to "scores" don't matter. Do they matter or not? Or do they only matter when the games your interested in score well?
Either way, this is starting to feel like a segment on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert so I'm out.
It suggests that after I read what you posted, I went to google, and I googled SoD1 metacritic score and found it was 78. Then after reading the previews of the beta stating that the game improved in every category, that it sounds like the game will hit the 80s.
Not sure how that translates into me caring about critic scores. If critic scores mattered that much to me, I wouldn't have bought Oure, which is one of my all time favorite games, and scored a 53.
You need to think a little more before you post.
I don't think that matters, if the game is fun to me, idc if it scores a 0.
I'm not saying that.
I'm saying there's a fairly strong coorelation between a game getting high scores and people liking it, as the reverse is true.
It's clearly not a hard and fast rule though.

I’ve enjoyed many games over the years that didn’t score really well.
I’ve also not cared for games that scored really well.
Lies! Just bald face lies! We all know there is strong direct link between pointless numbers attached to products and our enjoyment of said product based on that number. So no, you didn't enjoy them at all, you just pretended to because you're weird.
I like some of the guys (mainly east coast), but some can be too cynical sometimes. They'll acknowledge that it's not a game they will never like, yet they'll continue to spend 30 minutes crapping on it.
Can't believe people still care about those clowns at GB.
I will never forgive them after they dismissed Mass Effect as an interactive movie and nothing else.
