Never even heard of amnesia. But it looks good. I'll prolly check it out sometime this month.

All of them are wild besides the game before the bunker. The original is fantastic and the bunker is similar but in a WW1 horror setting where you have a revolver with limited bullets, and have to keep putting gas into a pump for electricity. Always in danger during that but once lights cut, you basically have to sprint and try to remember how to get back to light before you're fukked.

Wild game

I’m saying I totally agree with you.

Review scores are driven by bias and agendas. A reviewer may play Hogwarts and generally enjoy the game, but also hate JK so they give the game a 7.5 instead of an 8.

A reviewer may be a huge Spider-man fan, reviewing the game in his spider-man jammie’s and want the game to get great discourse and win GOTY nominations so they score a perfect 10 despite fighting through some bugs and other deficiencies to get there.

A “bad game can be anywhere from a 1 to a 6 depending on how much a reviewer may want to tank the score.

We’ve seen plenty of troll review scores where it’s clear the reviewer just wanted to generate clicks and discourse one way or another.

Trying to compare these scores as objective reality is where the problem lies.

Again, no two games on MC even have the same reviewers or the same amount of reviewers giving scores. So how the hell do you compare two scores and try to draw any kind of objective conclusion?

shyt don’t work like that.:stopitslime:
Except that on mainstream sites there's an editorial staff that approves the review before it goes out. I know you'd like to make it seem how Starfield was received as some rogue fanboys with agendas against it but having put at least 10 hours into the game I see why it got low to mid 80s scores.

I'm going to give it another shot but it's a well enough made game held back by questionable design choices. This game is never going to beat back the fact that the main cast is bland as hell and unmemorable, the constant fast travel robbing players of a sense of organic exploration, and the heavy leaning into procedurally generated content to artificially attempt to extend play instead of leaning into handcrafted content. Bethesda completely misjudged what people enjoyed most about their games and this fell flat on it's face.

Not all sites have that. MC takes in hundreds of scores.

I said nothing about starfiled. You did.

83, nikka

Love how Xsharts will alternate between the Xbox score and the PC score depending on what's higher. nikkas been calling Hi-Fi Rush an 89 game, meanwhile it's 87 on the Tower of Power.

I don’t read pitchfork and watch the grammies to decide what music is good for me.

Don’t know why y’all do that with games :manny:

MC is an aggregation of scores you retard.

Unless you think only white people can write reviews :mjpls:

An aggregate of about 99 people I wouldn’t trust with a water recommendation :stopitslime:

especially, specifically trying to take two scores and say one game is objectively better cause it has a few extra MC points.
