Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why you do not trust Metacritic. (something i said a couple of times)

well. metacritic is a site that combines all the ratings of everyother site, be that site an official gaming site OR a random blog a normal person made.

sometimes those random blogs are way too biased and just want to make the games look bad, sometimes those blogs are too much of a fanboy of the game that they give it a perfect score

ive talking here from experience i know people (not going to mention their site name) and they are way too biased toward Call of Duty being the best shooter ever , that they gave KZ2 a 7/10 score and gave Halo 3 a 8.5/10 while all CoD games got perfect scores

have you guys ever heard of these sites? seriously

Everyeye.it

ZTGameDomain

Da Gameboyz

Bottom line is, dont judge games based on Metacritic (or any rating for that matter , but thats another topic)


Around the Network

what a stupid thread, no offence mate, but wtf

This has no basis, some people think the game is worse then COD, well guess what, those people exist, who says they shouldnt count them. What are journalists but paid bloggers.
Killzone2 7.5
Halo 3 8.5.
i like how you put them in, just a question what did they put for MGS4, or does that not work in your favour?

this sounds sarcastic BUT, what are a couple of bloggers going to do to a game that got 200 reviews for example. If a game gets a 0 im doubt it would be counted without a valid reason

Your own opinion.

Nothing else.

Nobody else.



Wtf guys, i didnt mean KZ2 was better or Halo 3, i just said that those guys i know are too much of a CoD fanboys that every other shooter is not as good no matter what.

so what im saying is you shouldnt trust metacritic cause its random, im sure Wii Sports is very high on metacritic cause its popular AND everyone can make a blog saying how much its awesome.

why we should we not "trust" metacritic coz a couple of things passed through, have you read every review? If you have and disagree ah well, because i disagreed with a lot of Killzone 2 reviews from big named critics, but i dealth with it.
