Metacritic user reviews should come with the clear disclaimer: "User reviews are for entertainment purposes only."

So now Meta scores and User scores are unreliable.

We should buy games judging by the cover art guys!


Given that that's all we had as children and multiple of my favourite games are from my childhood, as well as many other users on this site... Probably not a bad call. Joke or not.


Nostalgia.

Of course that's a factor. Still can't help but notice the connection.

Why does anyone even care about user reviews? Its generally full of idiots


It just shocks me how anyone can be so unsure about their console purchase that they have to create 3 different accounts to re-downvote the exclusive on the rival console


Lol that is literally what it is isn't it? The best is when you see a long game like Bloodborne recieve a tonne of 0/10 user reviews just hours after the game has been released. Then of course the review itself is a laugh, as you watch this little Xbox fanboy labour away at coming up with negatives for a game they haven't played in order to satisfy the character count.

I will go to my grave never knowing how Xbox fanboys actually exist.

I don't know why anyone would even read the user reviews...
This is not surprising at all. There are even members of this forum that write bad user reviews for games they've never played.

TurkishCritic comes to mind. Props to NiKKoM for reminding me about that!

Fighting his guerilla war in a long lost battle..with a heart of a true console warrior. Our hero.

But seriously, this why I don't read metacritic before playing a game myself.

Same on Amazon with PS4 exclusives. I've looked at X1 exclusives and they seem less affected by this practice. Guess some people are really invested in the 'PS4 has no gamez' narrative.

PS4 owners have no time for that, they are too busy playing games



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
