That's it, I am never reading an official review for the rest of my gaming life. Finished. Never again...
Here is why:
I am currently playing the game Calling (50 on Metacritic). I know it is NOT a masterpiece, but I would give it a 7 out of 10. In fact, I think any game I finish to the end deserves at least that much.
Secondly, I am also playing Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers (66 on Metacritic). So far, I would easily give this one an 8.5 out of 10. Good graphics, story, characters and gameplay.
Finally, I started Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings (55 on Metacritics). So far, great action, super respect of the Indiana Jones franchise and acceptable graphics. I would give it a 7.5 out of 10.
I now know that a game is as good as you think it is. I will soon start Fragile Dreams and it too has a poor metacritic score (64), but I found a cult following on the web who sware only by this game. I am no casual gamer or hardcore gamer, I just enjoy games that have a special connection with me. As long as I am having fun, the metacritics of this world have the right to think what they want.
That's it.
