Metacritic's games of the year

[Ciggavelli]

Ehh I disagree. The quality of a game is oftentimes or outright missing from reviews. Halo MCC looks to be a high quality game and yet it's riddled with problems stemming from the overall package.

Nice logical fallacy. Nobody is talking about Driveclub or Captain Toad.

I know your post history and it seems very relevant to this conversation.

You're going off on a tangent now. How is "You're just mad " somehow refuting my points said earlier?? I feel like you're being purposefully obtuse right now.

TL;DR
Reviews should be used as a tool imo, not the holy gospel as again inconsistent review practices, biased reviews that hold more weight, hype and marketing play an integral role into games these days and that alone shouldn't be used as ones sole purchasing factor in my opinion of course. .

Like I said I have no idea what you're even arguing. You too think meta critic is a good tool. You said this to me months ago. I have no idea why you even engaged me in this conversation at all. I don't think you understand the concept of a meta-analysis and a truly think you're upset that certain games you liked didn't get higher scores. This is what I really think

There aren't any points to refute. You've made no points. All you said was "do you think reviewers are unbaised?"

I think you're just arguing to argue right now

If it wasn't for these other tools I talked about, a lot of people would have essential "tried" a $60 game for shyts and giggles.

it's still the simplest way to judge the quality of a game. from there you're free to look into whatever else (see "other tools") to see if it's something you actually want to purchase. part of that might be considering that the online experience might not be properly represented in the review

A tool among others is great for oneself. That's all I'm saying. You and you're "Oh if it's not 85 no buy" shtick is amusing to me. That's all breh.

I have no idea why you even engaged me in this conversation at all.

It's a public forum. I can engage whomever I want, that's the point of this forum .

I'm not here to convince you of my mind state or otherwise.
Oh and I'm FURIOUS Knack got low scores .

There aren't any points to refute. You've made no points. All you said was "do you think reviewers are unbaised?"

There aren't any points to refute?? If there aren't any points to refute, then how is this discussion taking place?? To say there's no points being made on my end is to arrogantly imply that Metacritic and Arthur Gies and is likes is the end all be all to everything game related and your "85 or " principle is unequivocally the best and anything said otherwise is just internet drivel by fanboys who are furious. Great job.


Seriously... All in all this is opinion based, there's no right or wrong way to go about this. I'm not telling you to stop visiting Metacritic or elsewhere for your information.

I think you're just arguing to argue right now

Yes I'm just bored as hell.

So... judging a cover by it's book?? I think I'll just go back to my days of buying games based off their cover art .

Sounds about right

Well you know my opinion, have for months. I guess I know your opinion. This is a pointless conversation. I don't even know why I keep responding to you. I guess I'm bored too

 

[$$$HotBoyRonald$$$]

Remasters shouldn't count on these lists.

Oh and I'm not bored. I'm about to pop in Driveclub .


I know it's a personal affront these days to say such heresy .

They don't. That's why they named Smash the best game of the year
