The point Ed made was that no major exclusive MS has had surpassed a group of Sony's top tier franchises highest metacores (even though they most likely did in sales). You used a third party game as a rebuttal when he was talking about exclusives Sony makes scores vs games that MS pays for outside of Halo. When it comes down to it, its always Halo and Gears. I would beg to differ with him though because Halo: Combat Evolved was the highest rated Xbox game ever made sitting at a 97 metascore. That is a proper rebuttal. 


This makes no sense. If you're going to use Ed's point again, which basically means not calling a game masterpiece because there's other games with higher metascore, we're back at point zero. Sure, the game he used was a Microsoft exclusive versus a bunch of Sony exclusives, but the point that I highlighted is the key. So there shouldn't be problem if I bring a multiplatform game into the mix.

 

The Last of Us isn't a masterpiece because it has less metascore than Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. That goes along with Ed's reasoning. If you don't agree with this, then Ed's reasoning crumble down. And so, you have no need for using Ed's point again.

 

And yet, the last lines of Ed's reasoning (using two specific journalists to highlight again the first point I made) obviously tell how he is deliberately manipulating information for his sake and the sake of his argument.

 

So unless you want to use such point of view, I suggest you drop it now. If you do want to use it, however, I also suggest that you don't twist Ed's point into your favor (much like he did) and carry on with everything.

 

If you don't agree that The Last of Us can't be considered a masterpiece because Metal Gear Solid 2 has more metacritic, then leave it there.


I went back to what Ed told you when I wrote a response. I mean I could give you the quote of what he said to you. I pretty much ignored it, and was more focused on responding to you. Comparing the last of us to MGS is no indicator of how bad or good TLOU is. Anything above 90 is amazing.
