And now people will start to yell and curse because the metascore is "low"... What has this generation done to us as gamers? A domestic site gave it 4/6 (Pressfire.no) and the commentary field below is littered with enraged fans shouting how useless the reviewer is and citing the many high scores it has gotten from the largest mainstream sites (who mostly aren't aware that there are scores below 9.5 for blockbuster titles) rather than read the review and respond to his criticism in a productive manner.
And this has happened so many times this generation with many games across all platforms. Why do people care so damn much about metacritic scores?! A lot of my favorite games have "poor" metascores, all the way down to 85 and even lower, I should really start complaining loudly about it since I feel that they deserve more. I could understand the ruckass if we were talking about a surprising 75/100 metascore, but this is the upper 10th percentile we're talking about here, waaaaay into elite territory. If 90 is "harsh" nowadays, I don't think I can ever take metascores seriously at all any more.
Keep playing your favorite games and enjoy them and stop obsessing over what others think of said games.
