| MrT-Tar said: I don't want to destroy everyone's jovial mood, but what do you think the game's metascore will go down to once the game gets reviewed by the mainstream US gaming press? |
F#$% metacritic. It's turned into something irrelevant to sales. And no, that study made a while back only proves reviews affect sales IF people read them. It did not prove THAT most gamers read reviews.
GTA IV getting outsold by Mario Kart Wii should make it clear that review averages don't correlate to sales. If the game sells well, THAT will matter more than reviews.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
