Honestly, after playing the beta it will be hard to swallow that in. I mean I managed to do it for starhawk and twisted metal, and accepted everyone's reviews because some had merit to it. I only get dissapointed when some games sell tens of millions due to a high critic rating, while a equally good game (arguably even better) will get destroyed critically, but will still be a great game.
I'm expecting low 80s for PSASBR on metacritic. Definitely expect reviews to be all over the place for this game, highs , meds, lows. I imagine the first person to slam upon this game will be jim sterling.
For some people reviews don't matter, but I do get depressed when one of my favourite games doesn't get past a 80 because I am sentimental like that. If only starhawk was MP only...
