Final Fantasy 16 won’t get past 80’s in Metacritic Reviews ( Shills wont allow it)

[Kokoloko]

I see alot of people saying FF16 could be game of the year. For me, Im super excited, my most anticipated game of the year. I love Zelda and Spiderman but FF16 looks like my perfect FF.

But Im gonna say this now, reviewers are gonna give it alot of hate and it won’t get past 80’s in the reviews let alone GOTY.

Just ook at every game since TLOU2 thats been a PS exclusive. They all got hate, negativity and downplayed By certain reviewers. Returnal, Horizon 2, GT7, TLOU Remake etc etc

The only ones that survived the storms was:
God of War Ragnarok (They just couldn't deny the greatness)
Demon Souls (A classic)
and Deathloop… We all know why they rated Deathloop so high, because it was now an Xbox studio game.

The FF fanbase is already split because of the battle system and some say it doesnt look like FF. Even it looks more like FF then 7,8,10,13,15 etc.

This will get reviews all over the place. It looks amazing, it looks like they have finally done everything right. Combat, Classic FF setting, Yoshida directing, graphics look awesome. But Im just saying it now, don’t expect it to be loved by all and reviewers.


I will be pleasantly surprised if it scores 90+ or even 88+

called it now, it will be better than Slideshow game and will get over 90+ easily and fanbase will love it.
media on other hand will choose Slideshow for GOTY.

I hope your right but the shills need to even things out after Redfall. I really cant wait to play it next month.

Ive been away for 3 months. Still have RE4 to play, gonna leave TOTK off for awhile. Will Probably play be playing RE4 and SF6 until FF16 comes.

By Slideshow game do you mean Bethesda’s next talking Sim Starfield?

These dorks who want turn based really need to move on, this isn't the 1980s anymore we are in 2023

The same slideshow as 2017 one.
glorious 2002 game at 20fps

There's loads of excellent fast paced action games. Where are the TBC games nowadays?

Yakuza(oh my), Dragon Quest, Persona..

I said Hogwarts wouldn't break 80 for the same reason and was wrong. I think FF could get to 90 but it will be a slog, getting to 90 is for anything that isn't Fromsoft or Zelda.

If you think that Zelda looks like a 2002 game you have no idea what 2002 games looked like. Fog after 50 feet, character models made up of shapes stacked together, rocks that look like giant gum drops.

About the only thing really dated in that ss is the repeating texture in the water, which also shows up occasionally on mountains in the game.

I appreciate that Zelda is a bit sharper this time around at least. Barely … but eh it’s something.

It’s the switch… it’s substandard for the home setting.

Do I think the game is beautiful? Yes. I think art direction and general craft goes a long way. This team is clearly incredibly talented with engineering what they could get out of switch’s garbage hardware.

A game is a sum of its parts. I don’t like returning to playing games at 30fps one bit. Even worse if the image clarity is also terrible. Some times performance issues can be pretty damnin’ for a game. This is definitely not the case here…

The collective reee’ing I’m seeing on Twitter from crazed Xbox fans is wondering why Zelda has such a high Metacritic at 30fps when Redfall gets hammered for it?

Redfall didn’t get hammered only because of 30fps. If the game was actually good players would’ve gotten over it when the game got in their hands. However what happened with Redfall is that when players did eventually get their hands on it… they end up having them covered in shit.

 

[Swift_Star]

Nah, it'll get easily high 80s.

 

[Yobo]

It will if it's good enough

Mature story will be right up Western reviewers alley

Yoshi P has the credibility built up which always adds a few points

Franchise revitalisations always add a few points

Yakuza(oh my), Dragon Quest, Persona..

Yakuza got SO MUCH BETTER because of the TBC. It allowed for party members, which made the experience better since loners are boring. The class system is extremely fun, even if basic! Also, Ichiban is miles better than Kiryu.
Anyone that likes TBC SHOULD play Like a Dragon, it's easily on of the best games in the series gameplay, story and side questswise.

 

[ethomaz]

Zelda will be this year GOTY and deserves it.

Said that I expect FFXVI to score around 88-89 that is great.

 

[Yobo]

FFXIV exceeded 90 twice in the past few years. I think they can do that again in single player

 

[Bryank75]

There are definitely 2 specific reasons SOME reviewers won't let it hit mid to high 90's and will lowball it...

One is because they want Zelda Tiktok to win GOTY

Two is because of the political narrative, which I will not get into here... but we all know the articles that already popped up online.

Then there are some secondary reasons, such as;

Media being against PS getting 3rd party exclusives.

Media wanting to pull PlayStation down from it's industry position, instead of allowing fair competition based on output / quality / actual demand.

Yakuza(oh my), Dragon Quest, Persona..

Aren't dragon quest and persona 2d Japanese anime?

 

[Nhomnhom]

Cry more. The game being good is all that matters.

 

[VillaiN]

It might get 90 i think. What they showed looked amazing (i ddidnt care about ff so far). Sure there ll be troll reviews, nintendodrones and xbots but it ll hold solid score. Tiktok has reviews where its already proclaimed goty in may and best game ever. Bunch of middle aged geeks and virgins with memories when they played mario and zelda as a kids will not allow it. Just saw on twiter launch of tiktok and my God, grown man losing mind about video game, swinging with sword, singing songs....

93+ s out of question for ff16 imo.

Metal gear solid 2 is from 2001 and disagrees with all of this.
