Why do so many PlayStation fanboys live or die off metacritic scores? Can you guys not play a game unless critics tells you it's good? Enlighten me.
If you want to troll, troll, but at least be funny or use imagination.
This is lame and boring attempt.

Be better..

trolling? not trolling at all. You said the game is bad without even playing it, you were also capping for it before the critics scores. Now the critics tell you it has bad performance and bugs, now you dont want it anymore? lmaoo. Gamers on Steam are liking it. We don't let critics tell us what to do. We play games.

Gamers on steam kinda have shit taste so this is nothing to brag about, do you see some of the garbage that makes it into the top 20 at times

not at all. Gamers on steam are merciless in their reviews generally. they will give a bad reviews for the smallest things.

Sorry this is straight up BS and you know it. Stop downplaying people who are NOT playing on your beloved PS.

Steam people have 100x more choice so yes, not well known titles are bound to pop up in lists.

Back at you, console warrior.

It’s not just fanboys that care about Metacritic scores. Publishers and developers cares about them too.
I mean sure, but it's not the end all be all, that fanboys seem to think. Your game can be successful without good scores. Verified user scores are a better metric for gamers. PlayStation fanboys let critics dictate too much of what they play. Their stance is, if critics don't like it, then I won't like it. It's dumb.

We can untangle all of this.

1. "You said the game is bad"

Can you share, where i said that?

2. "you were also capping for it before the critics scores"

Can you share, where was that capping?

3. "Now the critics tell you it has bad performance and bugs, now you dont want it anymore?"

Can you share, where i wrote that i don't want it any more?

The game looks like it has some bugs and issues but otherwise its something Im interested in. The atmosphere and gameplay looks like my kind of thing, or what Im fancying right now. If they sort everything out the issues people are complaining about then it looks like a decent game for sure. If everything is smooth for a PS5 Pro, Ill be buying it.

People right off games that score lower than 80 very quick. If something looks interesting or what I fancy playing, I trust my own eyes then peoples opinions. Ive learnt a couple times I trust my taste and opinion over what 90% of the video game market is saying, because most the time people will just parrot after each other. If the gunplay doesnt feel too janky or shit, it will do the fix

Stalker has a specific niche that will like the game. it's always been this way, the games are not very approachable by design

You said bad animations, bad gameplay, bad story etc.

Hyping the game up, saying u want to play it on PlayStation

You're strongly implying it.

He's not into the franchise. No point in trying to reason with him lol. When DD2 came out he claimed "no means for fast traversal" even though the game quite literally has fast travel items and in game devices to get around terrain ala Death Stranding. Once that user has it out for a game he stonewalls all sense of logic.


Nothing more annoying than someone acting like they know about something they aren't involved in.... tourists....

Steam reviews are so meaninglessly skewed towards the positive, that "mixed" is starting at the 69% range already.

There are so many meaningless "positive" reviews, often only consisting of a single word, or some teenager-level attempt at humor, that it means nothing.
