I count them as games that people care about, buddy and considering that GTA V, TLOU, Diablo 3 and Rayman have already sold over 7 million units combined I'd say that that's very much true.

Half of those sales came from one game only lol... 

You really must care a lot considering you looked up the highscore of metacritic and then their sales (on vgchartz I assume).

Those remakes sold so well because there was little else on the market (not all that surprising, happens with most consoles during their first year on the market, including Wii U). Next year when the PS4 will receive plenty of decent first and third party titles the remakes well sell far less. 

Anyway, people will buy shit in a can if it is marketed right... Sales don't mean much to me. Not in terms of quality at least.

We're not talking sales, not me at least, but quality! 

Oh yeah, it takes so much effort to look up sales on vgchartz and highest rated games of 2014 on metacritic, took me almost 2 minutes.

Also what are you even trying to say with that sales =/= quality bullshit? Are you trying to suggest that those games aren't good?

GTA V is a good game, but the franchise gets over inflated reviews of the "critics". On what ground do I make this claim?

http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/grand-theft-auto-iv

GTA IV, 98% on metacritic and considered by many fans of the franchise to be one of the worst entries of modern GTA games! 98%! That's a ridiculous high score, that means over 90% of the "critics" thought this game was perfect! 

I can only assume a large amount of the marketing budget of Rockstar goes directly to the hands of the "critics" lol. 

And people buy what is marketed well, not what is of amazing quality (of course a game of amazing quality can be marketed right as well... Look at The Last of Us). Bayonetta 2 might be a good game, but most people haven't heard of it. 

Also why is Diablo III 90% on PS4 yet only 86% on XBONE? Is the difference between these games really that big lol?

And Towerfall Ascension (87%) is a better game than DKC: TF (83%)? Yeah right. :p 

Again, massively over inflated reviews for certain games... It's an insult to talented developers! 

Metacritic is too flawed for me.
