That AAA thing is bullshit. AAA is supposed to mean perfection, you know like 100% average. No game has that. A game with 90% shoud be a A game. Otherwise here's what you get for ranking:
AAA: 90+
AA: 80-90
A: 70-80
B: 60-70
C: 50-60
D:40-50
E (or F): below 40
That doesn't make sense. AAA is just a stupid buzz word that doesn't mean anything. |
Disagree, in the sense that it has a historical use and development. It may have changed over time, and people may disagree about it, but I think we generally have a sense that AAA games bring clout to a system...they are considered good games AND they sell a lot.
Now. STARCRAFT MADE UP THE IDEA THAT AAA MEANS 90% ON METACRITIC. HE DID IT BECAUSE AT THE TIME 360, WHICH LAUNCHED A YEAR BEFORE PS3, HAD A MUCH MORE LOPSIDED ADVANTAGE THAN IT DOES NOW IN 90% RATED GAMES. It will matter little because PS3 will end up with more 90% rated games than 360, period. Toss out the online games and recognize that 360 has a number of lucky barely-hanging-in-with-a-90-flat games right now, and its nearly even already, despite the fact that PS3 has had so much less time to put out 90% rated games.

Whilst I did not invent the AAA means > or = 90% on Metacritic concept, I appreciate the fact that you consider me so notorious. 
I just dropped by to point out that 17 90%+ games to 7 90%+ games does not equal "nearly even."

Yeah, you kinda did.
"Whilst" I didn't go to metacritic to check the numbers to be sure, and won't do so now, if you look at the bolded phrase, what I said is not far off. Btw, I thought PS3 had 8 now? I only know by your sig; I don't check this shit. (oh..I see from someone else's post that Uncharted may no longer be 'an AAA game' now....LOL. Puts the lie to the AAA equals 90 on metacritic BS.)
Plus, given that PS3 has had 1 year shorter to get its scores, I certainly like its prospects.
