| NintendoPie said: The solution is simple, don't make bad games. If you don't want your game to be a flop, then actually try with it. If your game flops and is still a critical success then maybe you are catering to the wrong demographic. A prime example as of recent is Yoshi's New Island. A semi-flop that had bad reviews. If Nintendo really wanted it to do well, they would've actually made it themselves or at least checked to make sure the studio wasn't molding a piece of crap. I only read the first three sentences and then skimmed the rest, just for reference sake. |
The solution is never, ever that simple. DMC is a prime example of that. Great game accoording to game reviewers and quite a few people who actually played it and bad sales to the point that we won't see a sequel (as in DMC 2).
As for the OP. Unfortunately Metacritic affects more people than some of us care to admit. Quite a few people here actually said that they skip anything below 80. I, too, lose a bit of interest for games below 60. Yes, there have been exceptions, but since there are too many 80+ games that I want to play; why deal with annoying things that mediocre games have? I still play "bad" games, but meta most certainly affect me. I actually wish it didn't even exist.
