A difference of 4% in a score NEVER stopped me or anyone I know from buying a game.
If Metacritic shows 86% or 90% plays absolutely NO role in real life.
Games like GT are rare. If Halo Reach would get 4% less points or COD Black Ops would it sell less ?
I would never let myself influence that much by the media. And honestly who wouldnt have bought Halo Reach if it would be slighlty worse. The main Critic on GT5 is that graphics arent as awesome as everyone thought and that its a Simulation Racer. I ask:
WOULDN`T YOU BUY A GAME BECAUSE IT GOT 3% LESS POINTS THEN THE PREDECESSOR ?
A small difference like that says is not relevant. Its similar to sales under 1000 difference its a statistical tie. Those 3% difference in the rating could just be the Zeitgeist nowadays.
