I would have to disagree. Too often has Metacritic counted scores from poor excuses of reviewers. Quarter To Three is a prime example of this. The other problem is that there is the subjectivity on giving a numerical score alone. One person's criteria for an 8/10 may be different from another person's criteria for the same score. |
that would be a universal problem. surely you can't think that Eurogamer won't have to be somewhat subjective when rating their games from 'recommended' to the 'indifferent' rating that they apparently now have. the reality is that you can't escape extremely differing opinions. an aggragate rating of thousands of votes from 1-10, from haters and lovers alike, generally balances out fairly reasonably.
what is annoying to me is that some of you are suggesting that Eurogamer's individual review with this simple system will be anymore accurate than anywhere else. if anything, it'll be based on a primary indviduals opinion on a game and will be LESS reliable (as is any individual game magazine/site's review versus the aggregate). when considering what the mass market average gamer likes that is
