How Can Someone Say "Game A" Is Better Than "Game B" If THEY Never Even Played Both? O.o

[Super_Boom]

I think, without playing both games, one's opinion on which game is 'better' becomes completely invalid. Metacritic is a decent gauge to an extent, but it really doesn't account for personal tastes. It's one thing if Game A scores in the 60s, and Game B in the 90s. But if they're both within 10 points of each other, I honestly think using Metacritic as a gauge becomes worthless.

Personally, I think console warriors are the biggest factor to this. They have no intention of buying the system that Game A is on, and so rationalize it by saying the game released on their platform is the better one. Despite having only played the one game they prefer of the two.

Also, I could be wrong, but I think we were both irked by the exact same post. XD
