Who said they aren't relevant?

"Don't use metacritic as an absolute source for a games quality" = reviews are irrelevant

The more you know.


As absolute as deciding the economic fate of a developer.

Developers dont get backdoor bonuses for Little Timmy's opinions.

And do games get to the top of AEGRO's all time favorite list because IGN and Gamespot told him they should be there? I'm going to guess they don't, so I'm not sure why you're having such a hard time with this.

 

Dont mind my opinion bro, im just agreeing with the OP when he says that Xbox 360 2007 Line-Up was in fact better than this years Xbox line-up, which makes the "The Best Lineup in Xbox history" PR a blatant lie.

Obviously based on their respective Metascore.

If someone thinks that this years GOTY is Devils Third, that is fine by me!

I can my opinion either.  2007 had a great PGR.  This year had forza for the nth time.  I wonder what would be preferred this year.  A new PGR or a new forza?  PGR wins all day long.  

 

2007 had an epic halo vs this year's mediocre by series standards.  Halo 3 wins.  

 

2007 had the game of the year Bioshock which was an epic.  This year xbox had what,  old games re-released?  Bioshock wins.  

 

2007 had mass effect.  An epic rpg vs this year's fable legends thats not going to even release this year.  Mass effect wins.  

 

I don't actually believe you guys think this year is better than 2007 for the xbox.  That year was just so good.  This year was a bit meh.

No, but you made a post based on metacritic. And since metacritic don't matter unless it benefits =/ and you're being negative about Xbox in this particular instance (not even saying it's the worst line up, or a bad line up; just pointing out that it pales compared to 2007), then they're just gonna come and be argumentative on the statement since the basis, Metacritic, is "just some people's opinions". "Don't judge based on metacritic". "It's just PR". Ok, and? "The Order is one of the biggest exclusives of the year" is "just PR", but it was A. clearly wrong, regardless of scores, when we knew a games like Halo, CoD, and Batman were coming out in 2015 and B.  the same people saying "Don't just judge by metacritic" will use metacritic to make arguments like "quality vs quantity" and say a game isn't "big" if it didn't score well. 



So MS blatantly lied "becuz metascores bro", but someone saying Devil's Third is GOTY, a game at 44% on Metacritic, is fine.

Makes sense.

This is a weak argument and assumes that whatever tops Metacritic is factually superior.

Factually, based on peoples opinions LOL.

Some users on this site and die hards seem to soley rely on Metacritic scores alone to tell a good game and back up their opinions, it's pretty depressing.

Dear God... so much this. 

Pretty sad how users simply look at an arbitrary number and say x is better than y. 

This thread...

In my opinion those games are better too and they'll be remembered by gamers far more fondly too.  Do you disagree?

Have you played TR or H5? Or any of the games MS is touting as the best lineup?

Bioshock an mass effect wernt exclusives.


Console-wise they were at the time. Tomb Raider isn't exclusive either really. They were key Xbox titles though.

I really really loved the Xbox 360 between 2005 and 2008. It started adopting the diverse lineup that PlayStation was better known for. Unfortunately they seemed to then win their key markets and started to take a back seat.


That is why competition is good...



Metascore is accurate. Since it''s not just about one publisher reviewed like IGN or GameSpot, but a combination of multiple sources + the users score. This make it highly creditable, since it's not just ONE reviewer nor ONE user rating but LOT of them combined so no biased there.
Another factor is dat even if the critics love it like Masterchiefcollection, but the launch turn out to be a disaster, or it's just broken then we can still look at the userscore to know why.
Or Fallout 4, the game have great reviews on critics but the Users downgraded for whatever reasons ( i guess they're just upsetting and overreacted, or just trolls. ) We can still look at the Critics for some better perspective.
Or the Order 1886, if the game just plain suck, then both the critics & users will disliked.



As I keep saying 2nd and 3rd year 360 and Wii Trumped everything that Xbox One and Wii U did, and it was a major reason for their success. 2nd year PS4 is not too bad compared to 2nd year PS3.



Well it had Lost Odyssey so it probably was.
