Skyrim more popular then Dark Souls sure. Clearly better? Personal Taste. I'm still excited a rpg won game of the year tho.


Well one has a metacritic of 96 and the other a 89. Id say it appears clearly better to me.


If you think games are better becuase Metacritic says it  thats you. I form my own imperssions  from what I see and play and I haven't even said Dark Souls is better.  Metacritic doesn't dictate anything.  Darksouls deserved to be on GoTY list (In my opinion) but just because people like Skyrim doesn't mean Dark Souls is unworthy.

I never said you said that either, but indiviual gamers opinions mean squat. A metacritic score is based on dozens of professional critics reviews, that does mean alot and going by the scores one game looks to be better than the other one easily. Not that Dark Souls score is poor in its own right though.


Thats nice and all, but I still believe the best critic is yourself, I've played tons of games in which game reviewer sites such as GS gave low scores but to me they were higher.

 

Some examples are Star Ocean 3 (PS2) and Persona 2 Innocent sin (PSP).

To yourself your own opinion is always gonna be most important, Oblivion and Street Fighter IV got great reviews but i think theyre awful. Its things like the metacritic score that affects the sales of games, theres a few games i was gonna get before i checked the metacritic scor, the new Spider-man game for one.
