it's getting a 77/100 from metacritic "critics" but it's getting an 8.4/10 from the actual players. match that with mass effect 2 which is gettinga 96/100 from the "critics" and a 9.0/10 from the users. it seems that maybe listening to "critics" isn't all it's cracked up to be

QFT

But critics play ALL games extensively while those user scores are made up of:

Utter bullshit.

 

Two examples for you.

 

MAG reviews coming in a few hours after servers are up, extensive play my arse.

 

GTA4 - 10/10 from most of the big sites, quite clear to see this game is no where near a 10, they gave it for its name.

Then they played the beta extensively and afterwards a few hours the full game to see what has changed. At least longer than the average Joe. That was my point.

GTA4 is a fantastic game. I agree it's not worthy of a 10/10, but easily a 9/10, so they're not off by too much. Anybody who think it's bad or mediocre based on its quality shouldn't blame the game, but rather themselves.

It's okay to not like a game, but in some cases it's not the games fault. I don't like Killzone 2 or Zelda so much, but I would never say they're bad just because I don't like playing online or I don't like the setting.
