acording to n4g.com it's

9.6

from 97 reviews

http://n4g.com/PS3/games/g-17012/tt/metareviews.aspx


Together their reviews have resulted in an average ratio of 92.4%. That ratio has resulted in this title becoming the 74th best game of all time and the 4th best game on the PlayStation 3.

 

That's from gamerankings. Nobody recognizes n4g, for a reason.

 

A. They are notoriously Sony biased.

B. I'm not sure, but I bet they average every review.

C. At gamerankings, only the respected reviews are averaged into the final score.

 

The game is a 92.4 from the only site that I, or any levelheaded fanboy in their right mind, will accept as a talking point. It's a great score. Lets not start hating on gamerankings because the games we love the most aren't as high up in the rankings as we think they deserve to be.

Metacritic is also damage control in a way. Often fanboys will look at Metacritic and Gamerankings and use whichever score is higher to promote their games final score. I've done this myself.

The fact of the matter is, when it counts, and we're talking about GTAIV, OOT, or SMG, we're talking about gamerakings. This is the site that lets us see the quanitative top scores down to the decible. When people say "best game of all time" they are referring to gamerankings.com.

 

Now, I am completely against aggregate reviews, but I can't just let cherrypicking aggregate review sites pass. If your going to use them, then at least have a standard, and don't try to spin us by leaving information out, or pretending that if all of those reviews were on gamerankings it would have a better score, it might actually have a worse score, because of how gamerankings chooses and averages reviews.

 

If your going to tout MGS4 review scores, then acceptable talking points are:

A. 10/10 gamespot

B. 10/10 IGN

C. Together their reviews have resulted in an average ratio of 92.4%. That ratio has resulted in this title becoming the 74th best game of all time and the 4th best game on the PlayStation 3.

 

That's it.

 

that's bull crap

 

those reviews there at n4g.com are from other sites and it has nothing to do with them being biased or not,,,,metacritics is also 94% ,,,so if I want to take numbers I ahve much more options to choose from other than gamerankings(I personally only care for IGN),,,,but the truth is that I don't care about reviews that much unlike you ,,,remember the GTAIV reviews?who was the one that got upset and spammed the website with angry posts?who lost his control and got banned over GTAIV review marks?oh yea it's all comming back to me now.

 

btw you can't tell me what I should or shouldn't do,,,if I find N4g legit ,I m gonna use it even if you write three pages of nonsense here.
