Would you like to see review scores disappear next gen?

Yes 2 25.00%
 
No 6 75.00%
 
Total:8

 

By review score, I mean number scales like; one out of five or 100% something like those. I can see some purpose of them, but I feel that gamers are too reliable on the media scores in order to determind rather a game is good or not or if it deserve game of the year or not. Reason I would like to see it disappear is so people can stop skipping the written review just to see the score and for other games to get more attentions.

For example, I would like to see more reviews like this

Do you buy games base on your judgement off the gameplay or do you rely on score to determind to buy a game or not?

I know what kind of games I like,so I just usually buy whatever I want. I guess I'm different,because I like to read/watch a review for the nuts and bolts of the game.



It's certainly an intriguing possibility. The rating system (and video game journalism in general) needs a serious overhaul. Maybe removing scores altogether would help fix the problem. Although Metacritic could still manually assign scores based on the content and tone of the review -- as it does with The New York Times.

Sad part is, one guy have the ablilty to convent a huge numbers of people to rather buy a game that tons of people worked on for years, to rather buy it or not.
