All hail the new champion.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I said God damn!

 

[Red5]

A worthy successor to Baldur's Gate 2, which was also one of the highest rated games at release and in cRPG history.

I wonder if the retired Bioware doctors are playing it right now.

 

[Freelance Yakuza]

Too soon to celebrate
Let's wait and see the final score after 120 or 140 reviews

 

[graywolf323]

I didn’t realize Super Mario Odyssey had passed Breath of the Wild?

 

[Sleepwalker]

Mario Odyssey does not deserve a 97 lmao

Pretty much this. I get that people are excited, but you kind of need to wait for more reviews.

It will hover at 94-97 regardless, its a great feat

 

[RyRy93]

It’s an amazing achievement but I can’t see it lasting once the console reviews are taken into account.

 

[darrylgorn]

Persona?

 

[Tomi]

My god ..

 

[StueyDuck]

Oof... a certain rabid Fandom are about to get vicious aren't they...

As for BG3, finally I can agree it deserves it, unlike some of the other recent games getting such accolades (hears faint rumbling of angry footsteps and korok seeds rushing closer) gotta go guys cheers

I haven't seen a single piece of bad press about this game, everything about it has been remarkably positive. It's outstanding.

 

[Pop]

Persona and Odyssey on that list...sus

 

[El Pistolero]

Goty instead of Zelda? Highly probable...I did not expect it, honestly. Way to go, Larian!

 

[Wildebeest]

Miyamoto going to be on that twitter complaining how Larian are setting unrealistic standards for the industry.

 

[Topher]

Deserved

 

[Dane]

And its not that groundbreaking from what i've seen, its just that... they developed what developers used to do with great western rpgs from 90s to early 00s, no wonder why the entire shitstorm and crybabbling over it, it shows how that sector of the industry has gone too long on development issues, you don't see this with other genres.

 

[Kilau]

Persona and Odyssey on that list...sus

It's an aggregate, how can it be sus?

 

[Patrick S.]

Deserved.

It's the first time since Mass Effect that I've been this immersed in a game's world. Mass Effect is one of my favourite games of all time, and I think BG3 will probably dethrone it.

 

[Comandr]

Well deserved. It’s a fantastic game from start to finish. Engaging story, tons of choices that can meaningfully affect that story, excellent characters, great voice acting… it’s really an achievement.

 

[Elbereth]

I’m having an absolute blast. Well deserved.

Looking forward to Starfield as well.

The pressure is definitely on Starfield strictly from a scoring perspective.

 

[Robb]

Now we’re talking! I definitely consider OpenCritic more reliable than Meta. This is very cool for Larian!

 

[Patrick S.]

Persona?

Have you played it?

 

[Negotiator101]

Mario Odyssey does not deserve a 97 lmao

But Baldur's Gate 3 does?

 

[Dane]

But Baldur's Gate 3 does?

The only game to deserves 97 is Test Drive 6, anything else is paid shilling

 

[Negotiator101]

I’m having an absolute blast. Well deserved.

Looking forward to Starfield as well.

The pressure is definitely on Starfield strictly from a scoring perspective.

It's an easy 90+ but it's going to have 3 times as many reviews as BG3.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I haven't seen a single piece of bad press about this game, everything about it has been remarkably positive. It's outstanding.

Schreier just tweeted this lol.



He deleted the tweet lmao. Luckily I made a screenshot.

 

[Negotiator101]

Schreier just tweeted this lol.

Yeah i heard its quite buggy as well.

 

[mili2110]

All hail the new champion.

Wow 7 out of 10 games you can play on PS5.

 

[Aenima]

Congrats to Larian for a job well done.

Just a shame thers no physical PS5 version, so no day 1 for me.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Wow 7 out of 10 games you can play on PS5.

Yeah, it seems that the best console combo is PS5 + Switch. This of course might change going forward.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Wow 7 out of 10 games you can play on PS5.

10/10 on PC

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Congrats to Larian for a job well done.

Just a shame thers no physical PS5 version, so no day 1 for me.

Big shame indeed! But I presume that someone like THQ Nordic or another physical distributor like WB Games will reach out to them soon enough to help out with this massive release lol.

 

[Silver Wattle]

Congrats to Larian for a job well done.

Just a shame thers no physical PS5 version, so no day 1 for me.

Wtf, they aren't launching a physical version? That's going to limit sales.

 

[Gaiff]

All 10 games are playable on PC, and in the case of Nintendo games, they play even better.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

10/10 on PC

Technically those Switch games aren't officially released on PC...

 

[Solidus_T]

Congrats to Larian! - and I can see why. 10 hours on this game alone just this weekend. It just keeps blowing me away.

 

[Gaiff]

Technically those Switch games aren't officially released on PC...

Doesn't stop them from being playable at 4K/120fps on PC. Not sure how far along the mods of TOTK are though. In BOTW, they're amazing.

 

[LordCBH]

I liked Mario odyssey a lot, but a 97?! Good lord lol

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Doesn't stop them from being playable at 4K/120fps on PC. Not sure how far along the mods of TOTK are though. In BOTW, they're amazing.

Nintendo assassins are always on the prowl so careful with letting people know that Switch games are best played on PC hardware lol.

 

[daclynk]

 

[balls of snow]

Well worth seeing a non ninty game as no 1. May long he reign.

 

[Damigos]

10/10 on PC

2/10 on xbox

 

[Madonis]

It's a great game, but I am sure it will end up in a lower position eventually. Still, definitely the best purchase I've made all year in terms of investment vs. reward. .

 

[Gaiff]

Also, since P5 and P5R Royal are the same game, the next one is Metroid Prime Remastered.

5/10 games are playable on Switch
5/10 are playable on PS5 (soon to be 6)
6/10 are playable on PC (10 if you count emulation)

Xbox only has 3/10. Damn.

 

[Patrick S.]

So Jason Scheisser already deleted his tweet. Foreseeable.

 

[yurinka]

All hail the new champion.

It still only has 23 reviews. AAA games normally have way above 100.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

So Jason Scheisser already deleted his tweet. Foreseeable.

Wtf, I knew I should've screenshoted his tweet.

Nvm, I still had his tweet opened in a separate browser tab.

 

[Killer8]

I started it this evening and it's well deserved, just pure quality.
