Internal mock reviews for Hellblade 2 are in the low 90s - Nate the Hate. Rumour

[Sircaw]

The best part of that gag is that reading it as written makes you say it like someone from there!

it reminded me of this skit, and that annoying voice people do

 

[Gamernyc78]

He's from New York; they don't do humour there.

Only muggings, carjacking and romantic strolls in Central Park.

Hater alert some of the biggest comedians are from New York

The first one scored in the 80s and I don't think this one is doing too much differently aside from improved graphics. The 'Xbox tax' bridgade will be out in force if it doesn't hit 90s and it it does they'll drone about how it's better than everything PlayStation makes.

 

[Zzero]

That low 90s is going to be the sales numbers.

PS. Hellblade is a bad game.

PPS. Nate is a hack and a fraud.

1) Review embargo will lift the moment of release (Redfail)

2) Reviewers will be hand-picked (Stanfail)

3) Review process will be bypassed with an unannounced drop to their sub service (Hifi rash)

Which one will it be?

 

[Infinity]

Hell blade was a snooze fest. Don't know why people liked that game. And it was mad short. Not interested in 2 at all.

 

[Alabtrosmyster]

Let's wait for the non-xbox aligned sites to do their reviews... then the game's reputation months after launch, only then will we know.

I'm not buying this.

 

[On Demand]

These motherfuckers never learn.

They always have to overhype everything Xbox then when it comes crashing down they cry about unfairnesses towards MS.

Clowns.

 

[Shmunter]

Wonder if it’s the same fanboy testers responsible for Redfall?

Let’s hope so! The meltdowns would be EPIC.

 

[Thirty7ven]

I have little doubt it will be a good game, because Hellblade was a good game and they have made good games before. They have never made a great game though, so unless they have really upped their game it’s hard to predict a 90+ MC/OC for this sequel.

Maybe.

I don't think that level of fail is even in the cards here, but if the combat is as clunky as it was in the first game that will not be as good as it may look.

If they manage to have a game that plays like a God of War of Thomb Raider the rest of the game showed enough potential for this team to deliver... but will they? or will they bad like Halo, Forza, Redf and Starfield teams have done in the last two years?

Remember how Starfield somehow had an 80+ MC? And Forza 2023 not only ended up in the high 80s but even got a VGA award?

Xbox Tax, mate. Media owes alliegance to MS.

It’s Ninja Theory, the game is destined to be a shitshow!

If Sony paid their taxes, like MS does, they would't need to spend so much time and money making games just shipping would ensure a high 80s score! if it's any good at all awards will fly in.

Starfield is definitely overrated by the media, it’s at least 10 MC points too high. Forza I haven’t played, and never liked Forza.

The Starfield meta is due to Bethesda Bugworks games being scored more on “potential for community mods” than what was actually delivered to the paying customer, going all the way back to Daggerfall at least.

 

[Yurinka]

I'd bet the internal mock reviews of Starfield were pretty high.

You know damn well Bethesda internally thought they had an 11/10 on their hands, even if the Microsoft internal reviewers may have disagreed.

Bethesda has always believed their shit doesn’t stink.
