How is it some of you people still can't grasp this? How many times do you have to be told/ proven wrong? The definitive yardstick of a game's quality is its commercial success. There's no better way to gauge a game's quality than how the public vote with their wallets. That's it. If you don't agree then that's your OPINION. But it would appear you are in the minority. Nuff said.

Quality is reflected by commercial success? Not sure. Like comercial Hollywood films... most of them are rubbish for the masses.

 

 

Well I wouldn't say that commercial success is a particularly good metric for quality, at the current time it is no worse of a metric than most reviewers ...

To a certain extent videogame reviewers at the moment are a lot like movie critics who have only ever seen Horror, Science Fiction, Fantasy and Action movies ... When these reviewers are then shown a romantic comedy, family movie, character drama or (pretty much) any other genre they are very critical because it doesn't perform well based on the metrics they developed watching Horror, Science Fiction, Fantasy or action movies.

 

Agreed.  How long do you think it will take before the video game industry gets well rounded critics?

I'm not a huge movie buff, so I'm not sure how long it took before we got sopisticated movie crititcs.
