| DonFerrari said: See the summaries, they don`t match the score. A 6 or 7 for a 10 game is a troll review. No one would take seriously a 2 review for almost any game. Yearly like games don`t really go for GOTY, you are trying to make GOTY as if it were meta only. It goes for unique experiences. And using if as potential no game could be sure to win or lose a GOTY until the end of the year. There could be a Candy Crush game release this year in IOS that could score 100 in metacritic and be GOTY using "any company could improve and put a GOTY contender" |
I haven't read the 7/10 reviews however I will say that 6 or a 7 are not troll reviews. Some people just don't like the game or think its a masterpiece, no one has to like the same things as everyone else. with your logic, every masterpiece should have a 100 metascore, is that what you want to see? After all, those 7/10 scores come from people who have actually played the game, how would you know what the games score is entitled when you haven't actually played it? You might hate it.
Your example of that Candy Crush IOS game that might score 100 meta will most likely be sub categorized into best mobile game and win that category. Iv seen a lot of GOTY awards and iv seen a lot of games get sidelined in favour of what's more fan pleasing. Its just me though, some people treat GOTYs like life and death while others like me don't care for them. My taste in gaming is very different to the majority.
I also highly doubt IGN Japan would be a troll reviewer, considering the brand. Also Polygons review doesn't sound good either and that's another major outlet.
