Metacritic isnt going to convince me to like your crappy game.

Seriously when did all this circle jerk begin over Metacritic?  Every topic literally when it comes to deciding a game lately is usually ""lol its 99% on metacritic it must be the best game ever right?"" or ""At least I can get a non baised oppion from Metacritic!""  or ""You can't even say anything bad about this game...METACRITIC COMMANDS.""

 

Your forgetting something important.  I don't care.  Seriously, if you think I'm going to suddenly go ""Well if metacritic said so, YOU MUST BE RIGHT.""  I rather drink bleach then ever have that choice of option.  Case of example.

 

GODHAND, 73-  Already failed in the first example.  GODHAND is a five out of five fists in your face.

Assassins Creed, 81-  Garbage glitchy game, yet scores higher than GODHAND...see the pattern here?

MGS4 94-  LOL silly metacritic, MGS4 is a movie, not a game.  Typical poor website maintenance.

GAT4 98-  Oh joy a game with LESS gameplay then the last three games in the series scores higher.

 

You see Metacritic is absolutly pointless due to the fact most of the reviews it uses on its site are from the same shitty incompetitant reviewers we alrady know.  Now if only metacritic told most this forum to stop quoting it....Now THAT be wonderful.

 

 

 

It's a shame. You were doing SO well until here.

I'm not even going to bother defending it. I've done it too many times, and it's just a waste of energy. People cannot be convinced.

Ignoring that bit, I agree with you. Too many people base their 'facts' on metacritic. It is nothing but a collection of reviews, some good (IGN) some decent (Gamespot) and some downright awful (Variety). The thing is, Variety's awful reviews and crazy scoring will count towards the metascore, almost as much as IGN's well-written, thoughtfully scored, four page long reviews.

If you're going to use a website to claim that your console has the best games, PLEASE, use IGN. Regardless of them being anti-Nintendo terrorists because they gave Wii Music a 5/10 (after giving Super Mario Galaxy a 9.7 and Game of The Year), they are currently the most reliable reviewers on the internet. Sure, they've had some slipups *cough GTA IV cough* but they've had less than most.
