I have been enjoying a game this past week, and then (literally just minutes ago) I discovered the meta critic score was....a 67%!?! What on Earth was I doing having fun playing it? It is almost as if others enjoyment or lack there of did not affect me in the slightest way.

I do not get this obsession, but then again I had no idea what ANY of the games I grew up playing in 8 and 16 bit era got for scores so they've never really bothered me like they apparently do younger gamers.


Happens more often than you think.  I've had Game of the Year contenders that have bored me to death and disappointed me.  I've had games that ranked horribly (Blades of Time, Lollipop Chainsaw) that I couldn't wait to play to completion.  I like it when people like a game that I like....I like to like....sorry.  Got confused, there.

Anyway, when it's all said and done, it doesn't matter if a few people I'll never meet dislike something that I enjoy.  I'll keep recommending and listening to recommendations but the experience is ultimately what the gamer makes of it.
