Did anybody post about the inflated scores this game got and complain about them by any chance? Given the game is sub 90 on meta I guess all those 100's are just fanboy reviewers too trying to bring the score up for site views too.

The hypocrsy of some fans is really sad. Its one review, EVERY big exclusive gets spoilers, deal with it. Its another reason why metacritic is flawed.

BTW epic fail by those people in here quoting Metacritic figures as some method to prove how good a game is. Perhaps when you do that, you don't do it in a thread created to cast doubt on the validity of those figures.

Average of lets say 85 compare to 100, is 15 points difference. Average of 85 to 40 is 45 point difference. Very strange argument you were trying to bring there.

Not strange its called common sense.  If you're willing to insult someones opinion for rating this game below the average thn do the same for those going above too.  It's quite clear if we take Meta as gospel this game is in no way worth any 10/10 reviews.  The difference is that I can appreciate some people may subjectively enjoy the game more than others hence the variance in review scores.

Why is it I wonder, its mainly only PS3 fans who ever cry about review scores.  Anyone care to answer why this happens as its getting really old now.  Deadly Premonition got blasted and people didn't whinge, same with Halo Wars, Ninja Blade, etc, etc.

Its not common sense, I mean how can you compare the reaction instigate by a review that is 12 points to the average compare to 45 points. Sure it itsnt going to make the same reaction for the gamer one way or another. Higher or lower, whatever the tool use (in this case meta) if a reviewer give a score 45 points different to the average than sure it is going to make people talk. Does this mean this review or reviewer is shit? surely not, its an opinion. But its only very normal that people comments on those type of review. You know that half of your post is not even related to what I was saying right? Where did you read the insult towards the reviewer or that meta is some kind of god?
