I for one ALWAYS have. I don't base my sense of quality on Metacritic. However, there are people in this very thread, who in other threads, praised Metacritic. Somehow, this thread changed that thought process REAL quick. It's quite ironic. |
Who's downplaying Metacritic? If anything is getting downplayed, it's the article, for not understanding how and why Metacritic reviews end up the way they do. It seems to me you and a handful of others in this thread that likely only read the thread title, are as clueless about this subject as the article writer is. For the umpteenth time, nothing is wrong with Metacritic. It's the article not understanding that 360 and PS3 specific publications are the reasons for the discrepancies. PS3 mags/sites are obviously more forgiving than 360 ones are. If I extrapolated only the publications that reviewed for both versions, I guarantee at least 95% of all multiplats would have identical review averages, down to the most minute percentage.
