It's creepy for people to be happy a game they want to play and enjoy is getting praised by reviewers?
What on Earth is wrong with that?

Literally two people said "congrats Sucker Punch". Why are you in a review thread waiting to pounce on people being happy that the reviews are good..? That's so much more cringey than what you're whinging about.

PlayStation killed it this generation
So many great exclusives in 2020 alone

We're out here playing good games, you out there hating on games.
What a gen.
I am about to blow your mind.
People play games on different consoles. It is possible to play a game on Xbox AND a game on Playstation. I enjoy games like God of War AND Gears of War.
Sharing a dancing meme doesn't make what I said any less true.

Color for sure. Black and White on a second play-through or selectively.

Maybe. I guess that 1x1 battle will be amazing at black and white.

Picture Justin Bieber fans "congratulating" Justin Bieber on his new album when they haven't heard it and only seen mixed reviews on it.
Or James Patterson fans "congratulating" him before the release of his next book when reviewers gave it mixed impressions.
It just. Fucking. Weird.
Oh and before you say "84 isn't mixed!!" realize that the scale for AAA games is essentially 70-100, not 0-100.
This all feels a bit too "One of us. One of us..." and like I said, I've been a PlayStation gamer for 25 years.

Well colour me surprised. Looks like a must play after all. Skillup, YongYeah are mesmerised. And the footage seems much upgraded from the official crap they showed recently.
Edit: Just watched ACG, also scrambling for the moisturiser and Tissue box. Looks like a done deal.

Looks pretty great if a bit on the generic/derivative side as far as design goes (which I have to admit is a tad disappointing for a game they pretty much spent a whole console gen making)
Still, these open worlds are fun every now and then and I think the setting will go a long way in making me enjoy this one more than most other similar games.

Can anyone recommend a good video review? I'm not watching them, just listening to them. I'm an explorer, stealth player so anything related to those would be great.

Honestly, I’m more likely to enjoy a low 80s game than anything rated over 90, which is usually just hyped garbage.

I'm so happy this is doing well! I was afraid for a second there it might dip into the 70s, but game looks crazy strong for that.

This all just proves what I've been defending for a long time: "gamers" journalists just don't care about gameplay.
If this game had bad combat and narrative Holywood sidequests, the average would be different.
I never particularly cared much about the structure of a game.

Same...some of my favorite games of all time have scored between. 70 and 85. Makes me wonder how many people have missed games they would really enjoy because of the thought that an 80 is a bad game.

TBH, I think with all that detail in the world, it is a bit of a travesty. My guess is, on this gen of consoles, it would have hurt performance of the game too much to have included it.
I would have probably spent way more time than I should just cutting down things in the environment.
Meh. Its just people excited for a new game. Is it really that weird?
The review scores are confirmation that if people liked what they saw in gameplay and trailers so far then they are going to have a great time.
This is a videogame forum after all. It would be more weird if everyone was just solemnly talking about how they are going to spend 60 bucks and play the game as dispassionately as possible.

On a grading scale an 84 would be an B, that's damn good

So the japanese voices are dubs of an english voice of a game set in Japan. Cool cool cool.

Nice! This timer countdown to unlock on the PS4 is painful to watch right now. But probably for the better since I need my sleep during the week, lol.

ACG's review is really cool.
LMAO at the 6/10 review because of cultural appropriation and also lmao at the journos who got filtered by the combat.

They're congratulating a team on making something that's had a great critical reception and will, inevitably, sell millions.
It's currently still in the top 25 games on Metacritic in 2020 that aren't ports, and it's only that low because of a bunch of Switch indies with a handful of reviews.
It's not had "mixed" reviews at all, it's overwhelmingly positive. You wanna see what mixed reviews look like, check out Minecraft Dungeons, Journey to the Savage Planet or Darksiders Genesis. You have an incredibly weird bee in your bonnet.
