I still put Road Warrior over Fury Road, and I bought Six Blu-Rays of Fury Road.
Indeed, the range is pretty wide. Two new Spanish online magazines (which will be added later today to Metacritic, I guess) rated the game 78 (Meristation) and 80 (Vandal).
Let's see what happens with all the reviews that are in progress because WB didn't send them the review codes
Just Cause 3 looks fine without any qualifier to me.
Probably one of the best looking games coming out, actually.
bummed that gamespot's review told us what the last mission was.

So it's a 7 like most people assumed.
I imagine that a person who REALLY loves the Mad Max movies would enjoy it and rate it higher, right?

Hey, these reviews aren't as low as I originally anticipated.
Sounds like the game would make an ok rental perhaps?
Watching the video reviews though it's giving me Mordor vibes (with some car fights), and I thought that game was hot garbage. So ehhhh.
Got a buddy I trust who's picking it up, so I'm curious to hear what he says about it.

For... for yourself?
5/6 seems insane for this game, it's like I'm playing something different. I'm really having a blast with the game. About 8-10 hours in now and still a ton left to do. It's great fun, looks amazing too. Admittedly I love post apocalyptic settings but I still think the gameplay itself is awesome fun.
Gamespot review seemed bizarrely nitpicky.
I'm a sucker for post apocalyptic environments, the world in this is a large hook for me. Does look suitably epic and harsh. Shadow of Mordor had one of the dullest open worlds I can recall so I got bored of that (Despite the excellent Nemesis systems) fairly early on.
Either way, I bought this today on PS4. My gut is telling me I will enjoy it. Don't let me down guts!

Same here. I'm a huge fan of open world/ sand box games, and Shadow of Mordor's world was one of the most drab places in existence. You've set your game in the LOTR universe, and THIS is the setting you ultimately chose? MEH!
I'm viewing Mad Max as a nice, post-apocalypse appetizer before Fallout 4 drops.

lol?
I'm pretty I'll enjoy it since I dig car combat games, almost every one of them, including Rage. So if you really like Mad Max, I guess you'll enjoy it!
Just Cause 3 isn't being handled by the Just Cause team. The Just Cause team made this game instead. It's a valid concern when an unproven studio is making the next installment of a proven franchise.

partly true- the team is new but compromised of seasoned talents from other studios that all wanted to make a new Just Cause when the original team wanted to pursue this
My personal friend is an animator on Just Cause 3 and he and a group from Criterion joined and revamped all vehicle handling and explosion animations/physics- for the game
Yeah, the "recommended" tag on Eurogamer is the equivalent of a 8-9 rating on other sites that use the 7-10 scale.

Where's that Gametrailers review?!
In case he wants to watch it more than once.
LOL @ old-gen origins. What, not enough next-gen microtransactions? Because from a visual perspective it is fantastic. Some rock-solid gameplay as well.
Tiny subtitles is an influential point of the review? I've seen it all.

This looks incredibly average to me. Steam sale game for less than a tenner I think.

Here comes the "the game I anticipated didnt get the review scores I wanted so they must be corrupt" brigade.
Could it possibly be that reviewers are just burned out on open world games? Or that they just didnt like it?
I think the takeaway is that reviewers are burned out on open-world games that don't offer a lot of variety to the side-content.
What I'm seeing a lot of reviews comment on is that the upgrades don't seem very worthwhile, which gives you even less incentive to do the repetitive side content. Which leaves you with just some ho-hum main missions and a lot of filler. I see where the disappointment comes from.

What aspects of which reviews strike you as unfair or disingenuous?
The fact that it is simply fun to play and has an incredible atmosphere will give many of us incentive, I think. But it's all in what you are looking for, I guess.

Xbox One shots:
These look great! Game is certainly a looker.
Thanks, and yeah, it really is. Can't wait to see more of it.

Game does look good but for me "good" no longer cuts it in an open world framework. It needs to be amazing, otherwise I know I'll burnout.
Hahahaha, right, this is really weird.
They say: "The origins and limitations which come from the fact that this game started in the previous generation are apparent, most of all in the geometry of the characters and settings."
And then, one of the positives in the same review is that it's "Visually impressive"
Yes, amazing If tiny subtitles should be an influential point in reviews we should lower the score in half of the games from the last and current generations XD

Still coming. Sorry for the delay.
Dying Light recieved mediocre reviews for similar reason (side content nothing but fetch quests), but I loved that game, because of the moment to moment parkour and melee gameplay, so you definitely have a point.
