70 on Atomfall is worth way more than 90 on some woke, overhyped AAA game with fake reviews

Wait until you play it, it's definitely woke

Yeah? So the continuous trend of WOKE games and movies failing is following the data? Nobody wants WOKE political propaganda in their entertainment. Not in games. Not in movies. At least in the United States, the WOKE movement is being eradicated.

Cringelords. Get filtered.

Ah, the go-to excuse for the feeble minded who are easily pleased by inferior games.
"The critics don't like the (crap) games I like, they're corrupt."

No, because like every other thing out there, they're biased as anyone would probably be. I've played games rated lower than 7 and found them phenomenal, but got rated poorly by some/group of shmuck(s) because of silly, juvenile things. There's this word called "subjective", so you might want to check up on it.

And yeah, most reviews are paid for. If you think otherwise then you are either completely out of touch with reality or willfully ignorant.

List 10 games that average under 70/100 on Metacritic that you think are phenomenal and I'll list 10 games rated 90/100 or higher.
You can cry about subjectivity all you want but my list will undoubtedly have the better games and clearly show sites such as Metacritic are pretty accurate in demonstrating a games quality/worth.

Your tin hat nonsense about most reviews being paid for stinks of someone too immature to accept that you might simply have poor taste in games.
If most reviews were paid for, the Metacritic scores would be all over the place, yet there's a clear pattern of rising quality from the lower rated games and the higher rated games.
How come so many games from the Microsoft review so poorly, if the reviews are paid
for?
Surely if any games publisher can afford to pay reviews its the mega rich Microsoft, right?
Delta Force published by a subsidiary of Tencent, 61/100 on Metacritic
How about Concord from Sony, terrible reviews...

I can think of only a handful of games I've played that are rated below 7/10, some of which I have got some enjoyment from but even so, I can still accept they are probably not worthy of a higher score.
I don't believe my fondness for Cycling Manager games changes the fact they're pretty janky, poorly made games with limited appeal and 6-7/10 review score is a fairly accurate representation of the games quality.
The average score from reviews is around 7.2/10 (which is far too kind), meaning there's 1,000's of games rated above that average, many of which I haven't yet played so I have little inclination to delve into the sub 7/10 category of games.

Also, if you could give a few examples of the "silly, juvenile things" these games are rated below 7/10 games perhaps we'd all get a better idea of the mentality of someone with a high tolerance for low quality games?

"willfully ignorant" . I see what you did there :)

Have you even considered, that someone could like 70% game more than 90%? That he links those games will not changed anything if you don't like it. I like and played The Secret World ton of hours before it's shut down tho it's only 76 on metacritic. And never played half life 2 that has 96 score. I tried, but for me it wasn't interesting and I would say over hyped. For me The Secret World is better than Half life 2.

70 and 90 isn't that far from each other that personal preferences could not swing either way. If you would compare game from 30-40 and 90 that would make a difference, because to go so low it must to have something wrong with it.

In that sense 70 on Atomfall doesn't concern me. It might be good game and it might be bad game. I will try for my self and decide.

"The critics don't like the (crap) games I like, they're corrupt."

The legacy shill media critics are corrupt to the core. The best criticism at this stage is the Steam Aggregate and even that's thoroughly flawed. To make a good decision you have to watch let's plays and see Steam Aggregate as well as read the "helpful reviews".

Your point doesn't hold water when you consider the "shill media critics" that contribute to Metascores appear to have come to the same conclusion as steam reviews.
The top 20 rated games on Steam are all highly rated on Metacritic!

Besides that, Steam reviews are corrupted by childish fanboyism and review bombing because of trivial issues such as characters being black, gay etc. Not the most reliable source for critiquing games.

Watching a let's play doesn't work at all if the 'player' is simply playing the game, as many do.
If there's some detailed opinion on the games qualities whilst playing, it has some value but even then it's only one guys/gals opinion. You would need to watch 50 or more of these videos to get a similar spectrum of opinions as you would from Metacritic.
And to be honest, I'm not willing to watch a single one of these video let alone 50 of them because I would like some mystery left to the game I'm thinking of buying.

Woke is good you seem wokey young man yourself without knowing it or rather are you a woke young woman or bionary.

I'm fine with what the reviews are saying because the setting and reference points alone will make this an enjoyable experience for me. It's stuff I'm really into. Plus there's a lot of customisation with the difficulties it seems.

It's important not to have unrealistic expectations. This is not a game from a huge studio, and what they're trying to achieve is a big task.

It's not an accusation because there is nothing wrong with being woke. It's what most gamers want.

That is a bold statement. Considering you have no idea what "most gamers want". I, for one, don't need any patronizing politcal messages in entertainment.

It's like some of you've never heard of "access journalism" before. Critics will give high review scores to games by publishers which garner a lot of clicks, because then the publisher will grant them early access to their next title, which allows them to pump out an early review, thereby garnering more clicks (advertising revenue). That's literally how they earn their money. It's also why the "average" review score hovers around a 7, rather than the 5 that it should logically be.

Guys is this just a cockney vesion of Fallout, or is there some new interesting stuff in this game.

Honest question after watching the "bits and bobs" trailer

It's bad enough that run-of-the-mill streamers can play more than three days in advance. But whatever, I won't buy it. I've seen enough, so it'll do until the sale.

You do realize you live on a planet with other humans and every creative thing ever made is based on reality. The most successful AAA games all have politics, agendas, or factions. Fallout series is just one.
