Someone is confident.

I expect 10s and 9s

"Kojima did it again"

"GOTY Contender"

"It actually makes sense once you play it"

 

[mejin]

Someone is confident.

or doesn't care. lol

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

I'm predicting a 100 Metacritic score.

 

[Thief1987]

Yeah, good sign, sony is confident in the game.

 

[Fake]

Hold your butts.

 

[AnotherOne]

Anyone else think this game will review well because it's a kojima game? No one dares to criticize him.

 

[brap]

I think it'll at least tie OoT on metacritic.

Metal Gear has never been a series that reviewed overly well due to the development team like Gears, Halo or GTA (back when Epic and Bungie were creating their respective title). If anything, the opposite may occur.

Edit: unless Dan Ryckert reviews Death Stranding. That kid is a mark for Kojima.

 

[Shifty1897]

Great news, it gives time for doofs who are on the fence because they need a better understanding of the game before they can justify a 60 dollar purchase.

(It's me, I'm the doof)

You are not the doof, he is ---> Shifty

 

[Bakkus]

I'm expecting the user score to be at least 10 points lower than the "journalist" score.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

I can see this game getting a bad review only because it could be a walking simulator with a bare bones world but great story.

Let's go. Let's f'ing go!

Yeah, it's giving me Gone Home walking sim vibes for sure. From the combat to the motorbike riding to the stealth mechanics. Even the climbing sections with the giant backpack ladder remind me a lot of Gone Home; that game was pretty famous for its giant backpack ladders.

But Kojima games are.

 

[Phase]

Hey that's my bday! Wish the game was coming out then but reviews will do.

 

[brap]

Does GB even review games anymore? Dan is still based either way.

 

[Phase]

How I imagine Kojima this whole time

 

[dogmod]

I have a feeling (like many others) that the game will actually suck but Kojima suckups will review it highly.

 

[bumleforce]

Since everyone only cares about meta critic I'm gonna say 79

 

[Justin9mm]

I really believe its going to either bomb or it's going to kill. I can't see there being any real in between for some reason, that's my gut feeling.

 

[KOMANI]

But Kojima games are.

Which Kojima games did you think were unfairly scored high?

 

[Filthy Casual]

70's.

 

[Virex]

I'm expecting review scores anything between 0 - 100 on Metacritic.

 

[mcjmetroid]

I'm going to wait for user impressions.

Kojima, Mario, Zelda, Rockstar games are all on my journalist ignore list. They often get scores way too high for what they deserve.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I have a feeling (like many others) that the game will actually suck but Kojima suckups will review it highly.

If you have a predetermined bias like this, nothing will convince you regardless.

 

[Thief1987]

I have a feeling (like many others stupid haters) that the game will actually suck but Kojima suckups will review it highly.

Ok

 

[Saber]

Pretty daring today, are we?

But gets me wondering...what the chances of this game gets attacked by today "game standarts"?

 

[halopower67]

While im a fan of his games, i dont see this reviewing super high. I think at best itll be in the low 80s. Too odd of a game to appeal to everyone. That said, im a sucker for Kojima and will get that game day 1.

 

[DonF]

I expect 10s and 9s

"Kojima did it again"

"GOTY Contender"

"It actually makes sense once you play it"

Please do a bingo card.

 

[GymWolf]

I'm ready

 

[rickyEGM]

Ready to see all those well deserved 10's. Fantastic work again Kojima-san.

 

[Sander Cohen]

Daring. Either he has reviewers in his pocket or knows he created truly great game. He’s starting month-long campaign tour all over the world.

 

[Heinrich]

this will bomb so hard. ,can't wait

 

[ROMhack]

Well yeah because that happens with every game these days. MGS4 had very few discerning voices dispute picking up a reputation like marmite among gamers.

 

[Javthusiast]

It will sell over a cool 2 mills on his name alone, nice try troll.

 

[J3ster]

Meh, another overpriced interactive movie...

They way people like you throw this term around made it lose all meaning.

 

[molasar]

So was MGSV to you?

 

[McCheese]

With around a 20% margin of error i predict it gets 120% on metacritic.

 

[Fbh]

Kojima should release a review.

[Javthusiast]

I'm gonna be realistic and say in the 80s.

Although mgsv was overhyped as hell by critics, despite having only gameplay going for it and mission design, story, characters, etc. all failing.

Just look at this gamespot review quote.

When it comes to storytelling, there has never been a Metal Gear game that's so consistent in tone, daring in subject matter, and so captivating in presentation. The Phantom Pain may be a contender for one of the best action games ever made, but is undoubtedly the best Metal Gear game there is.

L to the fookin MAO

But I thought it was a walking simulator?

Be consistent with the doofy ass gamer nerd memes, please.

*clears throat*

It's actually a walkie talkie but even despite that the game is apparently too "pretentious" for people to understand.

 

[KàIRóS]

To everyone doubting Death Stranding, here's the problem with your point of view, the director of the game has been making 90+ games his entire career, with ambitious storytelling and new ideas for gameplay and now according to you he has suddenly forgotten how to make a good game? it doesn't sound legit.
