These western reviewers gave Overwatch a 10/10, a 4 GB game for 70€ rigged with microtransactions. What is the better product? This or FFXV for 65€, 50+ GB content with much much better graphics imo? Its also the only JRPG that is AAA.

 

And Gamespot and IGN are counted higher which is unfair, Famitsu wont be allowed to give their score because they are Japanese how is Metacritic really fair?

Maybe some reviewers put different emphasis on things? Maybe some people feel that content is not king and that a core gameplay loop can be incredibly fun?

I'd give Rocket League a 10 even though it's just about cars jumping around in medium great graphics with barely any content. Yet I've spent over 1000h with it and I have no intention to stop. Meanwhile FFXV bores me to death and hasn't even 100h of content while costing more. Perspective?

If you're so about AAA and graphics how would you like it if all reviewers rated console games 2/10 because the graphics and performance aren't nearly as good as the PC ports?

Perspective.

You nailed it. If a game has a core gameplay which is solid and addictive (RL and Overwatch are, for me, really good examples), the game deserves credit. Graphics and budget don't automatically makes a game good if it's boring.

I put +100 hours into Overwatch, RL or Mario Kart, and I was totally bored to death with Fallout 4 or DA: Inquisition. Gimme some mid/low budget game with a solid and fun core gameplay over a shallow, boring AAA open world game any time.

I'll try FFXV though, because I'm a FF sucker. And I'll see if it fits that definition of boring open world game or it's more than that. I hope for the second.
