| Samus Aran said: Lmao, are you really comparing the sales of an exclusive game (often on a smaller userbase than even one of the other consoles) with a multiplat game that has a huge advertisement budget to boot? As for reviewers thinking it's better, explain me this: Why is Pokémon Alpha Saphire and Omega Ruby rated so much lower than the original versions? - It has a bigger graphical overhaul than The Last of Us and GTA V on the PS4/XBONE - It has actually new content added: Pokénav features, soar ability (fly everywhere you want to and discover new islands and legendary Pokémon), new mega evolutions, the Delta episode, some cities are even redesigned completely and much more. - The game isn't fucking one year old at the time of the remaster. Or explain me this: Why on earth does New Super Mario Bros. U have a higher metacritic score than Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze? Looking at the user score, people clearly don't believe that New Super Mario Bros. U is better, so your logic doesn't fly. Ergo, metacritic has its uses, but also many flaws. Just because a game scores higher doesn't mean it's automatically better. There are more factors that come into play. Like how some games are heavily overrated (GTA, The Last of Us, Ocarina of Time, etc). I quit playing GTA games after Vice City. I loved both GTA3 and Vice City, but the games just become too repetitive and they sure as hell aren't going to win any awards for story telling. Or they shouldn't anyway... The missions weren't that great. |
It scored higher because it's seen as a better game, by more people, simply as that, you disagreeing, or other people disagreeing doesnt change that, it just means that some people think SBB4 is better, but more people think GTAV is better, remaster or not.

Publication aggregation produces an average across the major outlets, if that score is higher, then by sheer logic alone, the result is simply that more reviewers scored the game higher. you agreeing with them or not makes no difference.

You quit playing and yet you feel in the position to comment on their story?, I never played Zelda : Link to the past, how much do you think my opinion of it's storyline would be in any way valid?
Honestly, so many peoples pride has been obviously stung by this, it's actually quite pittiful, if you think SBB4 is a better game, more power to you, but in general, the gaming media finds GTAV to be the better game, get over it.
