You also missed the point. Another example is Diablo 3 for PS3 with no reviews below 70. Yet it has an 86 metacritic. 68 does not look good for it. I was personally hoping it would be an 90+ game so that it could push HW and SW. One review does not decide it all but it can greatly affect the metacrtitic.

I didn't miss your point at all. You're jumping to conclusions based on one review.


I am not denying that... As a fan of these games it is just disappointing that it will not help push HW and SW as much as I liked. Will not stop me from getting it though.

Games at the tail end of a gen rarely will push any hardware. A game, in a particularly niche genre, most definitely won't move hardware. Only PS3 game doing that in the Fall is GT6.

As for software, again, you're jumping to conclusions. Only one review and there's no way to know how much they will impact sales (although in this case, I'd be a little more flexible with your view, given it's entirely possible that they, will and this isn't a big sequel in a stapled franchise). However, my overall point remains.


Your point may stand, but my point cannot be simply dismissed. One review can affect the whole metascore.
