I don't understand. What's wrong with being excited over a meta-score? It's exciting to see where it will land, and how close it will come to its predecessor. It would be just as pathetic for a "360 fan" to get all hot and bothered over something like this. It's not the console people care about, it's Naughty Dog. Didn't you make a bet on this months ago anyway? |
I agree it's exciting.
However, being repeatedly deflated/elated by a drop/rise of 1% on Metacritic (which by all accounts isn't an exact science to begin with) is...you know.
Thing is, if this is such a major thing then, for example, GT5's meta should induce depression in some.
Excitement and continual updates are very apt for this thread - yes. But scrolling page after page of ''OMG 10!!!'' leaves a rather bitter taste in the mouth. A backlash is expected after a negative comment like that, but it just seems like a good discussion is being drowned away with fanatacism.
With regards to the bet - I made it because it was fun, and I was pretty much convinced that I couldn't lose. In all probability Homer will make an alt account instead of carrying around the burden for 30 years anyway.
