Sony's number crunchers will likely be delighted to hear that the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 beat their counterparts the Xbox 360 and Xbox One in the average Metascore, with PS3 releases notching up an average Metascore of 70.1 and PS4 bringing in 73.4. Xbox One titles, on the other hand, sit with an average of 67.7, and the year’s Xbox 360 titles come in with an average of 66.9.
Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC on the 14th of April 2015. That means the game will be nine years old in four days, and it’s still among the most-played titles on Steam. With a 24-hour peak of 145K players, it’s as popular as Baldur’s Gate 3, Apex: Legends, and Destiny 2.
The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others. To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5 are both classics, but movement and general interaction sometimes feels like you're possessed by a fridge.
Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…
Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.
Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game
The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.
I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls
Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games
I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
i think average metascore is irrevelant. 2013. brought TLOU - highest rated exclusive on all platforms and now there are 3 ps3 exclusives higher rated than any x360 exclusive:
uncharted 2 metacritic 96
TLOU metacritic 95
little big planet metacritic 95
Should come as no surprise considering 2013 was the last year before their sucessors even still the out put of games in spite of that great, especially compared to 2012 which was lousy imo.
Gamers must be expecting more. We have been spoiled lately. Every year just gets better and better quality games. Unfortunately the hype usually ruins a good game by overstating what the game will bring. Overhyped and underdelivered seems to tank a lot of reviews.
Vita has none
Wii U has none
3ds has one(1 exclusive for 2013)
pc has 5 mostly indies(2 exclusives for 2013)
Xbox360 has 3 LOL(1 exclusive for 2013)
PS3 has 5(2 exclusives for 2013)
The more I hear about it, the more I hate metacritic. Too many people put too much weight behind the metacritic score. Gaming execs pay close attention to the score. PS+ won't offer games unless they have a certain metacritic score. Too much power is being put into the hands of a few individuals. Less than 20 people get to put their inputs into this all important score and that score really makes an impact on what people purchase.
