So poker night 2 got reviewed in Metacritic

Metacritic doesn't review games.

They raised the score to 69 after your post, nice one.

60? Aw Fuzznuggets

And that is Xbox360 version...

But really what do you expect. Them paying someone for 5$ game?

Why would you care about the number Metacritic decided to give to a game? That's like judging a movie based on Imdb score. You must keep Sturgeon's Law in mind.

I agree with you, and I also have to quote the one user review on the linked page

"Admittedly, not having multiplayer kills replayability past a certain point, but do you know what has multiplayer? Every single other poker game out there. If that's the jones you need, there are a thousand ways to go get it. Not every game has Poker Night 2's personality, and as Jules Winfield would tell you, personality goes a long way."

people really dont appreciate single player experiences anymore

"wonders back to ign score on metro"

Pfffff Metacritic, does more harm to the gaming industry then good.

Yep, a $5 game should be shitted on because lack of multiplayer.

there's nothing particularly wrong with the game, and for $5 there is a good amount of fun to be had(at least when it doesn't feel like the game is cheating for the ai). I love the ejections for the different special rooms. also if you want a real poker simulator go play poker, this game is about the fun of the characters getting together.

How do you bluff a computer? How do you read a computer and predict it's next move? How do you play poker if it's not against another living person?

The answers to these questions are what gave it a 60.

People have really high demands for a $5 game.

The crazy amount of voice work, plus all the different themes and bonus in-game items is lots of bang-for-the-buck in my eyes.

Well, I also think it lacks multiplayer - because it does, but it's not most important thing.
But what annoys (and brings score down) thee most is that I think someone didn't really worked on making LOTS of dialogues, since I think I heard that Claptrap is stalking-chips creep, Brock needs Bowie knives, Ash has problems with Wendy, Sam wondering what Max would do and GlaDoS wondering how I'll fare without her stacking cards in my favor like a googol of times.
Did Poker 1 had more dialogues, or they were more skippable (or that option to turn them off actually helped with that) that I don't remember them being so much repeated there?

I got a different number. Not that I'm complaining.

im not having as much fun as i did with the first poker to be honest. the characters are piss-weak in this one, i have no idea why they went with them, especially fake-ash (what the hell is the point, seriously). the original line up was so much more fun, had better characterisations and dialog - in poker 2, brock is the only character thats any good (glados is great as well).. if they ever do a poker 3, i hope they really try and get some decent characters in it... hamill's joker for one, please :D :D :D

Poker Night 2 has 69 and Poker Night at the Inventory 71? Yea right. PN2 is much much better, it has more to play and Omaha and Texas Hold'em.

lol 69

Just because they are bad at poker.
