Didn't know where else to post this without starting a new thread, so I'm linking the podcast here. It's also a review.

If you drive over Eon, there is Kett landing everywhere. You kill them, drive on, next time you come around they land again. Maybe it is like templar and mages war in the Hinterlands? Where there is a battlefield you just cannot pass until a certain level or you will die. Once you solved that conflict there will be no enemies and you can cross without a fight. There is also radiation level 3 preventing me to progress in Eon... The radiation is intentional, do the monoliths quest and it will dissapate over time and then you can return to Eos and run around all over the place which is a lot bigger than what you see at first. I start to understand, the game forces you to go to other planets first and progress the story, then the radiation may lower and you can continue quests here. Nearly died placing that radio beacon... quickly into radiation 3 place the beacon and teleport out  Or the stashes -.- |

To clarify, I do wish that the game put just a wee bit more emphasis on working towards communicating with the Angara and Kett. It was nice to FINALLY be able to hear an actual alien language being spoken in the game, but then suddenly everyone was able to communicate again. I guess it was SAM? I honestly don't remember, but I do remember it happening abruptly. Honestly, I wouldn't have been opposed to a brief sequence where Ryder's first encounter with the Angara had some sort of "synchronization" moment where they'd be able to communicate during the first contact scene on Aya. It'd be quick and painless and right to the point without feeling throwaway. Same but it's not wierd that the angaran are able to translate Milky Way languages given that by the time Ryder has made official contact with them, they've already had unofficial contact with exiles such as in places like Kadara Port. The Governor of Aya mentions having heard of their journey so that's likely from them as well through the resistance intelligence. I believe conversations with Evfra also establishes their contact with exiles and how that added to their distrust of the Nexus people because of what the exiles had done to angaran in the past. I believe one happens after visiting Kadara due to it having been an angaran trading post that the exiles pretty much starting running a crime town out of. In general, the game has a bit of a habit of not elaborating when it could be good to. |

Suikoden just hates the game so much that he gets a perverse thrill from watching the scores fall because the only way he gets validation is from the opinions of people he doesn't even know.

I've never paid much attention to either of them honestly (critic or user scores). A 75 reviewer score and a 4.6 user score is a great example why since I don't find either of them close to the reality. I suppose in this case the reviewer score is closer, I would personally give MEA a 6.5 or a maybe a 7 if they patch in some fixes for the major issues, though I don't see that happening.
It is a good game but not all that close to great. DLC could make it better but I don't really expect the major issues to be fixed till MEA2 if at all.

Let's assumed both claims r true. So more people are more likely to establish fake accounts to give MEA a 0 than a 10. It actually explains everything.  |

Just as many as are giving it an 8-10, with the prefice "I'm giving this a ___ to offset all the haters" Right, but it takes 4 "10's" for every "0" to even get a score of 8, so every 0 hurts the score a lot more than any 10 helps it based on "offsetting the haters." I can totally see why someone wouldn't give MEA a 10. I can even see some people giving it as low as a 5-6. But a zero? That's just absolutely ridiculous. The game has a great combat system (which almost everyone has been praising), stunning visuals, etc. There are things that almost all the critics have agreed are good. This at least elevates it above a 0. A 0 should be a total mess of a game that is basically unplayable. MEA is far from that. |

Tier 1: DA I, ME 2, Witcher 3, Bioshock 2 Tier 2: ME 1, 3, and the other two Bioshocks, DA 2 Tier 3: DA O Tier 4: Skyrim Tier 5: Star Wars the Force Unleashed (the only game I've rated tier 5) |

For me, the metacritic user score never meant something, like NEVER I would give the game Dying light a 4 or 5 out of 10, yeah 50% at best considering I had to force myself for finishing it because techland made so many changes like the skill threee that I hated and the "no fast travel" rules which was already bad in the vanilla game, but became even worse in the dlc the following. Even if dead island was not my favorite game, it still had enjoyable moments but they were nowhere to be seen in dying light, at least for me. Well on metacritic it has a score of an 8 out of 10 (well 7.8 and 7.9 but still) : www.metacritic.com/game/pc/dying-lightSaying that I disagree with that score is an understatement because its one of the rare game that I really got bored with it and would have probably not finished, if it was not for the fact that I just paid 30 canadian dollar for the complete edition and pretty much wanted the game to finish as soon as possible. While for mass effect andromeda, A game that I enjoyed, I did not wanted it to finish and I wanted more, it has the low score on metacritic. Especially by these kind of guys who only puts 0 and 10 in their reviews : www.metacritic.com/user/kotaryuwww.metacritic.com/user/NarekeFor them a game is either perfect or absolute shit,. Oh and of course they reviewed more than one version the same day the MEA was released, so if their rating is true, they bought TWO and even THREE version of the game and had the time to review all of them and puts 0 to all of them, less than 24 hours after the release which is of course totally enough to review a game and the multiple versions of it... I would love if people realize that the metacritic user score is no better than any other sites who has user score, just like for the movie bloodrayne made by UWE BOLL who has right now a metacritic user score of 7.7 out of 10 : www.metacritic.com/movie/bloodrayneYes a movie made by UWE BOLL (by the way calling him the next ed wood is an insult to ed wood, at least that guy made me laugh) is good according to the metacritic users... Metacritic only have a summary for the "professional review score" the user score is just like any other sites, anyone can create an account or even multiple ones in that regards. I don't see why people seems to think that the user score proves anything, it does not. If I think a game is good I am not going to rework my brain if the majority says they think the products is bad. And that also works in reverse, People may tell me again and again that dying light is good, I am not going to change my thoughts on it, I think its bad. Everyone can think otherwise but the metacritic userscore is not an undeniable truth and nobody has to think like the majority or a review score. |
