| Veknoid_Outcast said: There's clearly a big problem with video game critics -- I was very loud in my criticism of the press corps in a previous thread -- but if one has to reference the critical consensus, sites like Metacritic and GameRankings are invaluable resources. Clearly, referencing the popular consensus is a mine field (MW3 gets a 32/100), so really it's the best we've got. I would love it if VGChartz had a metascore function that allowed all registered users to score games, but would that ever happen? |
Frequently they base their scores in false statements or technical stuff (when they are not biased) so there's little point in them.
The VGChartz metascore wouldn't help either. Fanboy bias, etc.
The only things you have are your eyes, ears and internet. Download demos, watch gameplay videos, read some user reviews and try to discover the rules of the game by yourself. If you do this you'll end up being a better gamer.
