I also remember your 500 threads about Gran Turismo 6. Very informative stuff. 

Pretty sure I did significantly less than 500. But hey, did you know Forza 4 is da best racing sim of all time?

 

But seriously, lets try to stick to the friggin topic...

It is time to get over yourself. Your gimmick is tired and old.

On a serious note, everybody that didn't play Tomb Raider on the PS3/360 needs to buy it for the PS4/Xbox One. It has the d21lewis guarantee*!

Killerapp Flower. Based on 10 allmighty reviews.

I'm gonna put this out there. I know a lot of you guys are happy with the functionality and power of the PS4 and Xbox One but I honestly think most of you would be quite happy with a Wii U. I'm serious. I know it had a year's head start to build up a respectable library but, in my opinion, it's pretty awesome right now. Supplement your gaming.

Yeah, it's not an entirely fair list. First thing I thought was "where is Rayman Legends for X1?"


I also wanna add another bias to those comparisons. The comparison of metacritic scores are meaningful in "rough" terms, as the number of reviews for a game on certain platform as well as the reviewers are different. The only fair and accurate comparison would be "including a subset of the same reviewers on both platforms", and then batch compare or individually. Then compare what IGN or Gamestop or Eurogamer etc scored each version.

For example, you see an agregated score of 87 on PS4 and 89 on XB1 for Fifa 14, but this suggests that Fifa 14 is better on XB1, which is illogical given that those are vertically identical games. But when you look at the subset of the review by exactly the same reviewers, you see that both score identically.
