so as the tittle says is it impossible to get a high metascore late in this gen? as some people mentioned on this site before was that 2012 didnt see that much highly rated games. and one of the main games that made me think this is Halo 4. now dont get me wrong Halo4 did get a great meta of 87, but it is lower than the usual for Halo games, and i was thinking that alot of fans seemed VERY happy with the game. reviewers praised it heavily as well and alot were surprised by how well 343 handeled the Halo franchise. did halo deserve a better meta? did it get a lower than usual meta for a halo game because were so late in the gen?
Another example is dishonored. a game that was heavily praised for its new, fresh gameplay. for being a great new IP and a very well done game. of course dishonored ended up with a 91 meta, but i was thinking, if this released in 2009 or 2010 it would have gotten a 95 or higher metascore probably. now this isnt about Halo or dishonored, its about reviewers and how they review games now and the scores they give them. will next year tittles be affected by this? or is it just me?
