Terminator: Dark Fate was OK!

[Haysey_Draws]

Haven't played it, but the reviews scores are quite poor:

Metacritic: 59/100 (PC) | 47/100 (PS4) | 55/100 (XBOX)
Destructoid: 4/10 (PS4)
IGN: 4/10
OPM (UK): 5/10 (PS4)
VG247: 2/5 stars (PS4)
Push Square: 5/10 (PS4)

To be fair they are more average then poor. And i should have mentioned it isn't a terrible A title, it's a licensed tie in game, so alot of those sites will have gone in expecting a AAA experience (which a lot of those sites will still shit on even if they are good *cough IGN cough*). The reviews i'm seeing now are basically saying it's a good game if your into Terminator, just don't go in expecting Breathe of the Wild. It also isn't a full priced game...OK now i'm sounding like i'm trying to sell this lol

Haha. That's all fair. I know 4's and 5's are technically average, but I rarely see reviews of any game below 6, so to me, 7 is average range, and anything below 6 is really bad. But you also said Fallout 4 in your original post, which makes me wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Yeah i guess it's how most people see average games honestly, with just how many games do come out it's easier for people to just ignore anything under a certain grade, but i find that slightly unfair to a lot of perfectly fine games that many people would probably like...but there's not much i can do about that. I only mentioned FO4 as the review i saw asking people to give it a try said that's kinda what it was, a lite version of FO4 with multiple endings, romance options, shooting and looting but just not open world. I'll probably give it a try, but i need to clear my other games first...

Dark Fate: I liked it, especially basically all scenes with Arnold ("For many years I thought it was an advantage."), actually I rewinded some of them because they were so good ("extremely funny"). :-)

Starz had a bunch of runtimes for T1 and T2 back to back and it was hella rejuvenating. There is something about T2 for me that makes it so fucking good and I could never put my finger on it.

Still need to see Dark Fate. Definitely in the minority with this one, but the first viewing of Genisys... I didn't find it THAT bad. Definitely cheese, but I enjoyed the relationship with Sarah and the big guy.

Finally got around to watching Dark Fate.

I enjoyed the movie. It seems like after T2 they didn't know where to take the franchise and the past four movies have tried to act as a proper follow-up. I think DF may have been better received had 3-5 not been released and/or it had been released sometime in the late 90's/early '00s, fresh off the success of T2 when the Terminator movies were still in demand. As is this movie seemed to be a dollar short and a day late. The ending of DF obviously left open room for sequels, which based on the box office failure of the film seems unlikely at this point. Still, I enjoyed it. Good cast, good but predictable story, great visuals, even with some questionable CGI.
