They all seem to get 8/10, which is GOOD, but not a masterpiece.

I think the last game that was considered a masterpiece by the industry was Final Fantasy X, which was 20 years ago.

if you're looking for 9s or 10s on review sites then i guess not? dunno why you would though. i think fan reviews are generally more accurate for me when you minus shit like review bombing.

Final Fantasy VII Remake does have 88 on Metacritic which is higher than I expected tbh. It'll come up in GOTY conversations which I didn't really expect.

Cmon bro, its not like theres some industry conspiracy where every single video game review site gives it an 8/10, they all simply agree that its only that good.

I would never trust ONE single review site to tell me how good a game is, but its pretty easy to get a general consensus.

88 is fairly low for a remake of a game neckbeards try to argue is the best game of all time.

Considering Trials of Mana had no hype. It literally beat its expectations and hype by a large margin.

FF7:R exceeded my expectations, it's one of my GotY so far. Trials of Mana is supposedly great too, haven't played it yet.

While not necessarily having much hype, Dragon Quest is consistently good. Nier Automata is also considered one of the best Japanese games of the generation.

I would never trust ONE single review site to tell me how good a game is, but its pretty easy to get a general consensus.
but its still a relatively small amount of people who generally seem to prefer the more cinematic type games. i don't trust these people to give an honest or accurate review of a hard platformer or action rpg that focuses on mechanics rather than narrative.

I - and many people - had zero hype because the PS2 was coming out, and I was playing the Dreamcast. I still got the game, but never really played it until years later. It took awhile for it to get its reputation as one of the best ones.

Many years after people said how bad ff9 was, it became hip to say it was actually great.

I suspect Nickelback was actually fantastic. To be fair, you have to have a high iq to enjoy them.

Why is living up to the hype being determined by review scores? I don't remember anybody waiting for the FF7 remake saying "all I want is for it to score a 10 outta 10!".

I always smh at comments like this. Are you people serious? How have so many of you crawled out of the woodworks? Is it one person with many alts? How is it an incomplete game just because the story has multiple parts?
