What would you suggest we base it on? |
Well, I'm not sure. I just have a problem with Metacritic.
A games like Fable II and Demon Souls sold very well, got a lot of 90+ reviews and are loved by many.They got ripped.
-Metacritic assigns numerical ratings attached to reviews that don't have one. This is based on thier opinion.
-A game will sit at 90 for a long time and then they will add one more review taking it down to 89 and leaving it there. This happens a lot
-The sites they use are inconsistent. Obviously a PlayStation site is going to review the PS3 version and a 360 site a 360 version. Those sites tend to be biased towards their own copy of the game. The game might be the same on each system but one might give it a 95, the other a 97. It is a bit misleading.
What I'm saying is I consider some games below 90 on Metacritic to be AAA titles.
Some examples are:
Fable II - 89
Demon Souls - 89
Left 4 Dead 2 - 89
GTA: Ballad of Gay Tony - 89
Ratchet & Clank: ToD - 89
etc.
You're not doing anything wrong, I'm just personally not a fan of MC. I feel it can be just a bit misleading and unfortnately gives some games a bad rep. Cool thread though. It is intersting to see the list.
