no your not leo-j
METACRITIC does determine this & has for most posters on internet forums around the net
If it hadn;t why do Metacritic threads get 100 + posts on Vg chartz, as much as people like to ROFL at metacritic, they use it too & its actually a VERY GOOD indication. |
maybe ir ur a newb to gaming...if uve been gaming for at at least 3 years, u should kno wat like and u dont like and shouldn't need a collective opinion from other ppl to decide whether or not u should play a game....why do i need meta to tell me to play MGS4???? if im a fan it shouldn't matter wat meta thinks |
Thats besides the point
I even said in my first post in the thread
for a game like R&C I don't care what it gets but FOR MANY GAMES...especially less hyped DS ones, dragon Age Origins & lower hyped games, metacritic matters to me, it gives me a rough guide of the games quality.
|
but its exactly the point - we should NOT be relying on reviews, Meta, and definitely hype to choose are games or judge whether a game is AAA( which again only means production values) AAA to one is NOT AAA to another...we have our own taste ands the only thing we should be using. |
I totally disagree @ bolded
REVIEWS are very important.......£40 isn't some amount that grows on trees
Without reviews or META I would have bought LAIR, HAZE & so on
Without reviews I wouldn't have been warned of the shortcoming of assassin's creed 1 compared to its immense hype
If I wouldn't have listened to reviews I would have spent £40 on uncharted 1, basically £40 for 8 hours of gameplay, I don't have that kind of money to burn
Reviews & Meta are vital, especially as this is an expensive hobbie
But for some select few games like MGS4, FF13, GT5, GTA4 & so on.....games that you BUY the system for, meta isn't important
for the rest our tastes alone aren't that rgeat to decide by, as theres something called buyers remorse.....Meta + Reviews can help you avoid that.
Now onto the AAA GAMES point:
As for deciding what makes an AAA game, what makes a critically well recieved movie? CRITCS giving it high scores
in the same way an AAA GAME = 90 + on metacritic now.....simple as that really
|
Using your tastes is bunch of crap, since i would never play VC,( Because the demo was not good representation of a full game) or other niche games. Also i would be scared of spending so much money on things that i haven't even tried yet.
|
exactly my point
the demo of VC didn't impress me much either but it is its STELLAR reviews & so on that got me to buy it
people saying go on your tastes & hype.....well its a bit silly to say that you know
Ofcourse go on your tastes if you hate FPS's, don't buy COD4 just because it was rated highly
Use a combinations of your tastes & metacritic
Do not use hype unless its for system selling games likes MGS4, FF13 yadda yadda.
