I know right? How can you believe that some people would actually have fun playing those games? Gross!

Looking at user scores all over the internet I doubt many people older than 16 are having fun. Granted, the majority might still be happy. Lol... :p 

You think user scores on the internet are representative of the general buyer? Especially for huge games like those we are discussing?

You might want to look up selection bias.

Or just bias. Vocal minority might also be helpful.

Robin Williams more than the World Cup, Malaysian Airlines and Ebola. Shocking!

I don't know a single one of the top athletes.

Also, Arsenal>ManU and Barcelona is shocking

Yeah, I was at a loss there, no Messi or Ronaldo?

Forum go-er types like us are the minority. Obviously the majority enjoy these games since they buy them every year.

They are ignorant. They only know of the big games. They've never heard of games like Metroid or Okami in their life.

I skipped so many good Gamecube games just because I never knew they existed. That's ignorance! Luckily Metroid didn't escape my attention. :p

Yeah, I'm sure the kids are having fun with their annual games. I've yet to see an irl friend talk about how good AC: Unity was. Yet they still bought it and will buy next year's crap as well. The definition of insanity I say... I hear my friends complain all the time about Cod and Assasins Creed yet they still buy it. I don't understand why, but that's the way it is. When I mention Metroid around them they act like I'm from a different planet. When I mention it's made by Nintendo they already dismiss it as a kiddy game without knowing what's it about. Sales say little about quality.

No, I think the user scores are too inflated even.

My biggest search has been, "how to remove bing as default search engine"
Nothing works!


I'm not sure if you're joking, but download Google Chrome.

Might also want to read about confirmation bias while you're at it.

I never said sales = quality, but you pretty much said that nobody liked those top games (Destiny, WD etc.)...

They are neither inflated nor deflated. They are just not an accurate representation of the population.
