MetaCritic metascores: Reviewers: 75 - Users: 4.7

77-83 probably, likely even lower if its bombed by haters, despite the final outcome. I doubt any prof reviewer will give the game a score that starts with a 9. 8 is a possibility. The main problems are that the game lacks polish, theres animation issues, facial graphics on humans should be better, bugs(but many games have those). Then theres also the issue that aside from adding new things to the game, it still feels kinda generic, especially when some innovative titles have just come about like Zelda, Horizon etc. Its in a bad company releasing so near to these titles.

Also Witcher 3 seems to have really spoiled some gamers, so the bar was set, imo perhaps too high, i mean you cant expect every game to be master quality like that game apparently is(its not like witcher 3 quality, so the whole game sucks - type of thinking), ive not played that game, i dont know what its about, it just doesnt intrest me(in kinda worn out on medieval fantasy for now). But apparently everyone seems to harp on and on about what a god of a game it is, tbh its getting kinda annoying constanlty hearing about it.

So i think the game would have been better received if A) Witcher 3 would have never come or it would have been justa minor improvement over its predecessor it wouldnt release so close to the competition it has now and most importantly C) if they wouldnt have rushed it out(but its EA) D) if the game development had had a better management and workers., this feels like a b team effort in some areas

Of course I would like to see it do well critically but really hope it does well commercially so the franchise can keep going.

He gave the new Zelda game a 7 out of 10 (and according to some it was his review which lowered the Metacritic score from a 98 to a 97), and he said many times he thought it was a good game, not great game but a good game that he quite enjoyed. In his latest video he claimed that some hardcore Zelda fans have DDoS his site, tried to take over his social media accounts, and sadly I would not be surprised if he's gotten death threats from these whiny entitled shitty little crybabies.

So Metacritic can fuck off. It's nothing but a useless fucking average that tells me nothing. I don't need Sterling, Angry Joe, Yahtzee, IGN, Polygon, or anybody else telling to like a video game or any media for that fucking matter, I know what I like and what I don't. The only opinion in end that matters is: MINE. If love ME:A that is my opinion and if I hate it same thing. I don't need some Youtuber or some website telling me what to love and what to hate. Fuck that shit. I love some movies and video games that most people hate and vice versa. I don't need anybody's validation or indictment to tell me the media I love is great and the media that I hate is shit.  

Im expecting it to get bombarded in the first few hours actually. Hope I'm wrong but it won't be pretty if it happens.

If MEA doesn't get those sales then EA will kill Mass Effect like Dead Space.

EA expecting 5 million sales from DS3 after DS2 only sold 1.2 million copies, was mind blowing. Nevermind the cost to recoup the investment in advertisements.

Objective? Or according to you?

To be fair, I feel those scores are warranted. Telling potential customers "it gets better after several hours" isn't a good selling feature. Like I said in my own review, there is plenty to like about Andromeda, but it has hefty competition nowadays. BioWare really cannot get away with the technical issues they have in the past. Personally, I think a 7.5 is pretty fair.

That is what I feel both average might be. I noticed that in Italian reviewers, which one did you notice dropped hints?

I'm thinking 80-84, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's 75-79.

More difficult would be predicting the user's metascore. Probably in the 50s. Maybe 40s.

 Considering that Bioware games are slowly becoming the Call of Duty. You may not be far off the mark.

Hahaha, so true!  The second one made me lol, because you can literally find the comment on any video about the game.  Guaranteed it'll be on metacritic.

Honestly, metacritic should probably disregard any reviewers who have a history of scoring games a "0".  Go find a reviewer who rated a big budget game a "0", then check his history.  Odds are it's full of zeroes except for some obscure game which they'll rate a "10".

EDIT:  I literally just checked a user (evilfrog) who gave Breath of the Wild a "0" score and it's exactly what I said above.  Breath of the Wild, Journey, Gone Home...all zeroes.  But a 10 for something called Odin Sphere Leifthrasir.  I think it's a rehash?
