What's interesting is that, when it comes to movies, Metacritic is a really useful tool for me. The average score almost always corresponds to my personal opinion - with a few exceptions here and there. Not so with video game metascores - especially during the seventh generation when score inflation was rampant. |
I agree with your sentiment here. Review sites like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic often appropriately grade movies for me, but not always games. I wonder if it's a case of the different journalism or personal differences? Maybe a combination of both.
