Yea I know right. Maybe microsoft could do something about that.
BOOM Metacritic is what I said it was going to be, 82. If you want to know the Meta scores for any game not out just let me know.

There was ample time between the releases of Resistance and Ratchet and Clank. Placing the blame on SONY? Lol
Destiny?

And.....? Are people that insecure over their consoles that they have to come into review threads and point out positives of other consoles?
I was waiting for the reviews before I committed to buying this, but now Ill be picking it up tomorrow. Congrats Insomniac.

Yeah! No way in hell Microsoft will fund Sunset Overdrive: Even More Arsenal, Sunset Overdrive: Sodas of Destruction, Sunset Overdrive: A Crackdown in Time, or Sunset Overdrive: Overdrive Matters.
/s
Also, Insomniac? If you do get to make sequels, TOTALLY name your games like that

Hopefully it's a success and they can go even crazier with a sequel.

Good job insomniac
Happy for insomniac. Looks like they are back after the Fuse debacle.
Going after Ratchet and Clank? You're the worst.

Hey maybe if Sony had given them some freedom they would have gotten SO instead of a string of bad games.
what? since when are those franchises bad?
R&C is one of the best platformers of the ps2 and ps3 era.
Resistance only had one bad game, resistance 2.
How is someone who says R&C is horrible, praising Sunset overdrive when the gameplay is pretty much copy pasted from it.

You hit me hard there bro.
Explain. Cause it sounds like you're shitposting. Ratchet has been quality since its inception. Resistance only had one bad game.

Why do the euro reviews seem lower than the NA reviews? I wonder if the humor is resonating less for them.

Doesn't the score not become finalized until the game is fully released?

Yeah, going to have it up a couple hours before the midnight launch. Already checked it it was OK to do so with charlequin.
Insomniac has mostly worked for Sony, are you being sarcastic?

Bad games? You're in the minority there. What's the answer to FUSE then?
Sorry I understand there are people who like those games, but the last bunch of games in the series have been unimaginative garbage in my opinion. In any case its getting way too off topic. I'm just glad Insomniac is back!
Indeed. They have the game they have been wanting to make. Here is to hoping that they can continue to build on it.
I really really tried to like Ratchet when I got a PS3, but all the games I played had meh gameplay, low polish and awful 'humour'. The writing was much poorer than I had come to expect from reviews.
Resistance fall of man, Resistance 3, ratchet and clank tools of destruction and ratchet and clank a crack in time are not bad games. Some of them being arguably better than SO

And they also had D4, and Dance Central... Not sure how they all fared in reviews but these are in the very least all very solid good games.
Add that to KI S2, and the upcoming Ori and the Blind Forest coming, and yeah, kinda hard to disagree MS delivered big time this year.
And then there are still many 3rd parties to make my wallet cry XD
Yeah like Ive said before, MS needs to give whoever greenlights exclusives a huge raise (Phil?). The guy or gal obviously has an amazing eye for quality.
Except for Ryse and Crimson Dragon, everything exclusive has been amazing.

It's cool because this is the kind of franchise where anything goes, kind of like Saints Row. The possibilities are endless and I love that.
then I'm afraid you won't like SO.
Sure there are some stinkers in the series (all 4 one and the low budget ones that sold for 20 dollars/euros), but to say ACiT and ToD are bad?
You have to be a mindless fanboy to say that and keep a straight face.

Agreed. And to call Insomniac games unpolished is just crazy talk.

Sony never owned them... The "bad" games were solely Insomniac's decision to make, but you're wrong anyway. They made a couple mediocre Ratchet games and that was it.
I know they didnt own them, but you cannot tell me Sony was not funding Ratchet and Resistance games only. I'm sure if they had given Insomniac funding to try something new, they would have. But Sony wanted its competitor to Mario and Halo I guess. Which just sounds ridiculous to even compare.

I just wish Insomniac hadn't dropped 60fps. Otherwise the only game of theirs I haven't enjoyed was Fuse.

There were two bad games. I wouldnt describe any of them as unimaginative.
Sounds like I will laugh my ass off with this game then.

I liked Ruse, it clearly lacks content, but I think they nailed the combat and it's such a joy to play (on higher difficult levels at least), but, as much as it pains me to say, Crimson Dragon is indeed my big letdown from MS 1st year lineup. I do hope they still work together to make one more game on the franchise, I want me my Crimson Dragon Saga XD

Can anyone tell me how many bosses are in the game? Just spoiler mark the number if you could
To me they just got to the point of "hey what kind of crazy weaponry can we design since thats what everyone says is our calling card". All the while the gameplay was getting extremely boring and stale. There wasnt any kind of gameplay renaissance in the series like Mario Galaxy.

Won't be buying an Xbone, but man way to go Insomniac! I hope this game does wonders for you!

I'm not sure what Sony was willing to fund. Not this game obviously, but if Insomniac really wanted to stop Ratchet and Resistance, they could have easily done that earlier and found another publisher. They had an excellent reputation before 2010, which hopefully seems to be coming back, that would have allowed them plenty of freedom.
I won't be buying a burrito. But wow, way to go, Insomniac!
