I haven't bothered to read your post, as it's probably just like the image above. I just focused on your comments, and regardless of whether I agree or not with reviews, it's your trolling that I'm focusing on. Again, let's not look at anything else, and just adhere to the following statements: Look at the list of sites Metacritic uses... They're all pro-Sony. Seriously, just look at the list. Face it, the closest thing you're going to ever get to an objective source is the game sales. Shame on you Davygee, shame on you, you should have known better than to try something like this. - AND - How about you list all of Metacritics sources and lets see how unbiased they are then? And praise from sony owned websites doesn't matter much either I'm afraid. - AND - It's the "pot calling the kettle black" analogy, he's adamant in using it as if it proves anything outside of the accusation itself. That's it. I'm not interested in anything else you have said. And I have yet to see you back up your very own statements with facts; if anything, your comments are nothing but

. Then allow me to repost it for you...
Game Reviews are worthless, and are tailored to specific audiences, not objective over arching measures of all games and genres. Most developers listed on Metacritic are Sony owned or biased, not that this makes the industry of game reviewing anymore valid if that wasn't the case. Game Reviewers are tailored towards high powered games and intense graphics, not the novelty of a fun game or the appeal of games worth to all audiences. The fact that the DS games are selling better than the PSP disproves Metacritics Aggregate system and the Wii has only had a handful of games introduced to it and is still selling hands over feet above the competition. Somehow I fail to see the value of Game reviewers when their reviews are only used by people trying to justify games after the fact.
You take the games success and sales for what the game is, don't act like there is some singularity by which to measure all genre of games. Is that useful? Not really, but its the best you're going to get. Despite your want to believe in an all knowing measure of whether a game was good or not, there is nothing more reliable than the game's sales. A game does well by its sales whether popular consensus is its a good game or not. Its the closest thing to an objective measure of a game's worth you'll get. I know that blows your minds but honestly relying on game reviewers isn't anymore objective.
I never claimed Game sales were the ultimate answer, just that they were the closest thing you'll ever get to an objective measure of a game. Relying on Reviewers after you or others have played the game is just a childish crutch and an excuse after the fact..
