| DonFerrari said: The detail is that usually reviewers will give a lower score if the sequel is at the same level or not much better. Also the more and better games released besides the game under evaluation also pressure the score down. Funny observation from Azz because on the Sony metacritic he was defending the lower scores as being valid plus on SoT and some other MS games that 70+ were great scores plus scores already not being important to determine if the game is good or bad on a generic term. |
I am with Pemalite with this one when it comes to metacritic. I don't need a game to be rated super high for me to enjoy it and some of my favourite games over the many years are no where near 90 scores nor do they have to be.
Its just sad that Metacritic (Something I use to use in the past) has fallen from grace with me and Gears 5 is exactly that example. Media bias is a thing and unfortunately a game that has had so much time put into it and money spent invested has created a vastly superior product to its previous game yet almost sits on the same score. Trust me I played them both, I doubt you have, and many others will agree with me here, Gears 4 and 5 are in different leagues of each other.
To put it simple, Gears 5 is not at the same level of Gears 4 or close to. If you played them you will see for yourself.
