So The Fight: Lights Out has 47 Metascore. IGN is still wrong?

Jesus, you people are still bickering about this?  You're acting like this is the first bad moderately hyped game ever released.

It's a bad game, get over it.  That message is to both sides.

I haven't personally played it, but judging by my friends that have, the Gametrailers review is pretty spot on (I haven't read the IGN review).  It's perfectly fine for you people that like the game to like the game.  There's nothing wrong with seeing the appeal of the bad game, but in the end it's still a bad game.  Just because you like it doesn't make it good, it just makes it good to you.

Just because you didn't like it doesn't make it bad, it just makes it bad for you.

Absolutely true!

BUT we still have to have a way to determine good and bad games.  While I know people have issues with things like Metacritic, that is one good way.  It's a wide variety of opinions and it generally forms some sort of consensus.  There will be outliers, there always are, but you can start to see a trend.

In the cause of The Fight, it's obvious it isn't a good game.  It's also obvious that it isn't the worst game ever made and the upper reviews do hint some people may like that.  Those people that are intrigued by those reviews should then read the reviews and decide for themselves because Metacritic is just a number after all.

-edit-

Also, the expression is I couldn't care care less.  Saying you could care less doesn't really mean much.

Whoops on my part, I guess. The only way I would could consider it bad is that its utterly broken, which I doubt it is.
