For people caring about review scores this much? How exactly? I think their no early review copy policy is hilarious. Look how people get so lost and confused without an early review telling them what to do lol. "This just in: prey is on track for a low 90s metascore, I repeat, a low 90s metascore."
I played the demo so I know what it will be like. I don't know what the final result is and I don't care what the meta score will be but I do know that I liked it enough to buy it and play through it.
I didn't even finish the demo. Not my style of game. I found it frustratingly mundane. It had an interesting premise, but the cinematics required to pull off the atmosphere weren't there, imo.
Haha you guys always resort to us as being dependent on the meta score. I still buy the game because my intuition and experience of gaming allows me to pick what games are worth playing. The metascore for me is only for debating, so if you want to complain about my negativity you don't have to be here.
I'm gonna play Prey on release day but it's gonna be a 79 or close to it.
If a game looks good to me I will buy it, I don't really pay attention to reviews anymore. I've played some games that were low scores (5's) and actual enjoyed them. The only opinion that matters is your own.
Reviews are fine to use as tools to help you make your final decision, but no one should blindly buy anything just because it has a high score. I'll know if I want to play a particular game before it releases, but I always check the reviews before I purchase, just in case there are serious issues that are impossible to see in the trailer.
It's in name only. This game was already being made when the direct sequel with a bounty hunter premise was canceled. Think the tommy guy was also in the canceled game. They just slapped the name on Arkanes game.
There is a demo on consoles, it seems people are hit or miss so I would give it a try if possible. The demo will explain the game better than a review. I think it's great personally but the dystopian games are my favorite sub genre. I can see why others are canceling preorders though and that's why demos are important. That's better than an early review imo.
It feels like dishonored controls wise but dishonored sucks as a shooter. That's not how you are supposed to play anyway. The graphics kinda suck honestly, dishonored looks much better. These kinds of things aren't priority for me though, I can get used to controls and crap graphics if I'm interested.
Game is on track for good scores. Geez I hope more and more gamers see the BS of score veneration. Focus should be if the game is on track for turning out to be good game.
If you liked bioshock this is probably down your valley. What else are you gonna play to scratch that itch? A crappy COD or Battlefield campaign? Not many fps make good open single player fps like this.
But that's if you have a thing for those games. If you don't love them then I wouldn't get it but there's not really any other game that is really going after the same market as prey in recent memory.
We only get like 1 or 2 single player FPS focused campaigns a year on consoles . PREY is the only one i know that is coming out in 2017 . Can somebody name another one coming out this year?
I liked the first Bioshock, but I didn't love it like some people do. Still, I'm not ruling this game out just jet, could be interesting if they get it right. I like the setting, thats all I can say right now.
Anything between 1-10 will be good enough as long as I enjoy it. If it's anything like how Looking Glass did Thief, it's gonna be high in my record. A game that demands thought and is always about "player world interaction" will always a good game in my book. Let's see.
I agree. I didn't expect anything from the demo and I was still disappointed. The game was just decent at best, maybe I'll pick it up dirt cheap when I've nothing else to play.
If want to see how PREY is after the first hour , just watch a PREY 'lets play' with 2 ARKANE developers and a GAMESPOT employee which GAMESPOT uploaded yesterday to YouTube . Very informative!!
If you go to the Bethesda twitch channel past broadcasts you can watch the live streams of arkane and it's pretty in depth with everything. "Lets prey" I believe it's called.
I thought the Demo was terrible. Not my cup of tea. Kudos to Bethesda for releasing the demo though. Even if reviewers give it perfect scores, I'm not wasting $60 on it. On a side note, I used to purchase games based off of good review scores and was hosed, time and time again. Some of my favorite games only received mediocre review scores. I think it depends on what you like or what your into. If you ask me, gamer feedback or user reviews are more important then critic reviews. Last year I read a review for MLB 16 the show. The reviewer admits that they don't even watch baseball, then attempts to review the game the day of release and only after playing a handful of games and rushed through the other modes. So he threw a 9 out of a 10 at it. I have to go back to metacritic and find it. Then I will edit this post for proof. The irony of it was funny to me and proves that you really do need to take some of these "critic reviews" with a grain of salt.
Some of my favourite games have non-great metascores - they were trying something differently and often niche. Example: Alien Isolation - its variable reviews were understandable. If a game like System Shock comes out now it's going to appeal strongly to some and not to others and it doesn't have to score 8s and 9s to be incredible on its own merits.
I really don't like aggregate score comparisons for this reason. Particularly in a world where games can change dramatically post launch. (NMS is almost a totally different game now.. And woe betide anyone who reviewed Minecraft back in the day, haha.)
lol that headline though. That's the mindset and focus of people these days. That's a pretty crappy way to look at games. The metaverse distortion 😏
From what I've seen so far, Prey has little interest to me... no matter what reviews say.
Waiting for sales on this one...
Prey is on track for high 6 to low 7 review scores
Its on track to score between 1 and 10
Game is on track for good scores.
Geez I hope more and more gamers see the BS of score veneration. Focus should be if the game is on track for turning out to be good game.
