I'm in the final stretch of God of War. I'll talk about it on tomorrow's Beastcast, and have a review up before the weekend most likely. Short version: This is a very good video game.

He might just be keeping himself reserved but saying 'very good' sounds more like an 8 or 9 to me. Giant Bomb have quite big weighting, so if that's the case this might be the first big hit to the 95 dream.

Dang straight!

95 where you at?

Xevross · Apr 13, 2018, 05:09 PM

Made it!

Enjoy it before it gets inevitably pulled down again!

Dr. Pezus · Apr 13, 2018, 05:39 PM

I wonder if a 9 from Edge would pull it back down to 94. Average would still be 95 for those two (gb+edge) and it was dang close to 95 total before them

It's above RDR and portal 2 on the list!

Edge has a bigger weighting. Its impossible to say for sure, it'll probably still be right on the line either way.

Anyway, not much point thinking about it. There's likely to be at least a dozen more reviews before we find out Edge's score.

The big ones for me are Game Critics and Quarter to Three, who are consistently very low scorers of Sony exclusives; Game Critics are low on Bloodborne, HZD, Uncharted 4, GoW3 Remastered. Quarter to Three are low on The Last of Us, HZD, inFamous SS. Just to name a few. They're consistently near the bottom.

Huh Giant Bomb have quite a huge weighting as well, this went from #62 to #57 on the all time list. It actually looks fairly safely nestled into 95

I feel like I'm winning more now its 95 even though it means I'm now not winning

Hopefully it can stick to 95. That would be amazing. Either way the reviews are amazing and this game really really seems to deliver. I hope SSM get a chance to do a new IP next.

Mainline GoW games in that case: 94-93-92-95
