mario galaxy 1 and 2 -> 97 on metacritic based on 77 and 88 reviews.

TLOU -> 95 on metacritic based on 94 reviews.

mario galaxy 1 -> 97.64 on gamerankings based on 78 reviews

mario galaxy 2 -> 97.35 on gamerankings based on 56 reviews

TLOUS -> 95.05 on gamerankings based on 65 reviews

Can we please stop with this game of the generation nonsense, if you prefer the game that's great. If it's your favorite game of the generation that's great. If you disagree with some of the reviews that's your problem. But Mario galaxy 1 and 2 are ranked higher on both gamerankings and metacritic, so as of right now mario galaxy 1 is the game of the generation, end of story.


If you are going by score Grand theft auto is the game of the gen, but again you and everyone else know that games releaseed earlier in the gen have a higher chance of getting rated higher, a 95 for The Last of Us even with the troll reviews that mario galaxy didn't have to deal with like quarter to 3 with 6/10 means it would be a 97-98 easily 3 years ago. So the praise of game of the gen is easily justified when it was released at the end of the gen with such good reviews.

Grand theft auto 4 has a 97.04% on gamerankings based on 60 reviews.

So since Mario galaxy is number 2 on metacritic and number 1 on gamerankings

while grandtheft auto is 3rd on gamerankings and 1 on metacritic, based on average mario galaxy 1 is the game of the generation.

So your argument is invalid.  

Like I originally said, if you don't like the review, that's your problem.  Quarter to 3 didn't like the gameplay, so they gave it a bad review, but even without that bad review, mario galaxy 1 and 2 are still ranked higher.  

Also games generally get higher reviews towards the end of it's lifecycle simply because they stop innovating.  Just fixing obvious issue's won't getyou goty awards.  So no, TLOU's reviews aren't justified, if they want to be game of the generation then they have to innovate just as much as mario galaxy did, which they did not.


MY argument is not invalid at all. Grand theft auto is higher so my argument still stands, plus games do not get scored higher at the end of a gen, idk how you even think that is true. TLOU reviews are completely justified and plz saying mario galaxy did some amazing innovate stuff is laughable, I beat it and it was the same old mario gameplay and story. Oh and defending Quarter to 3 when they completely score opposite to every other reviewer is pathetic, I guess halo 4 is a 2/10 while star wars pinball is a 10/10. Your argument is very weak.
