I should have emphasized that there's no regulation. Reviews have to be checked, regulated, and approved. They're held to a certain standard of quality, even if you don't approve of that standard. With user reviews, someone who has never played even a second of a game could leave a score and a couple of words and have it there in the database. Why do you think that LittleBigPlanet's score is so abnormally low (as an example)? It certainly has nothing to do with quality or reception by users, since it has an active online community as well as positive reception from gaming sites and strong word of mouth (although you wouldn't know any of this since you only play Nintendo consoles). The only reasonable explanation is that people are rating it down because it's a highly hyped and loved PS3 exclusive. But then again, you have a similar case with Uncharted 2, and that has a strong average for user reviews. So an even more likely conclusion is that the user scores don't mean jack shit, and bringing them up in the first place was pointless. And please, cut the condescending bullshit. Having to put up with your crappy arguments is bad enough. |
While you were attempting to answer my second question, you proved yourself totally incapable to answer the first one. Worst you contradicted yourself by trying to explain LittleBigPlanet horrible userscore (being a ''highly hyped and loved PS3 exclusive'') when you spoke of Uncharted 2.
If you're saying user scores means nothing then you should be consequent with yourself and admit that metascore doesnt mean anything either. And just in case you didnt find out yet I DO think that either user score or metascore doesnt mean anything, sales do.
As for the condescending bullshit I'm sorry but I don't have a clue of what you're talking about.
