"There are going to be people who enjoy patties that are made with filler - such as sweetbreads or other organ meat - and even patties that are made with a beef substitute altogether. There is nothing objective about the quality of a beef patty inherent to its ingredients, only to the experience of it, and that's going to differ from person to person."
Okay, let me clarify. The context was about stuff apparently in the burgers that chizum was arguing about. I didn't mean those things you mentioned.
"thats true. but back to what you originally said." So we will decide if Xenoblade is a good game, not the reviewers." THe thing is that this is a game that will have a limited run and only being distributed through one chain, so how much does this have to sell to be considered "GOOD"? Thats the issue I have with that whole idea, there are too much factors before these games even hit retail that will affect there sales."
It's more longevity, like legs and how fans feel about a game well after the release, than hard sales. Unfortunately, if it's a limited run, that would hurt legs. But if the fans still like it even a few years from now, that would still matter more than reviews. |
But how will we know?? If they cannot buy the game because it is no longer being manufactured, how can we possibly tell, if the game was "good"? Internet forum dwellers dont represent the majority.

I wrote "fan", not "internet forum dweller". I mean the people that still talk about games like Crystalis, or Zombies Ate My Neighbors, when someone brings them up, even if the gaming press doesn't talk about those games. I mean the people that turned Minecraft into a better selling game than most of the games that reviewers toss out high scores to.
Plus, back to the comment that got me on this, someone mentioned that this celebration of North America finally having the game would somehow be ended by the reviews over here, as though our opinions were subordinate to the reviewers.
Surely you can agree that is bullshit.

Ok what?? When someone brings them up??? Where would they bring them up if not the internet?? You might be much younger than me, but I have very few people to talk games with, because most of my friends are not game players, unless its COD. Minecraft is not a good example because that game got good reviews.
It is BS, all of it. Why would anyone think the game would get bad reviews, when its getting good ones abroad?? At least the taste in Europe is somewhat close to US. ANd its getting praise even over here, from people who have tried it.
