Yes, in the land of the Internet, Metacritic is king.

Yes. I would love to be wrong abou that.

Yes colors dictate our whole lives anyway, so why shouldnt we apply this concept here as well?

So 75 is the new 50?

I hate Metacritic with a passion, I wish people would stop citing it as some sort of reliable source when it comes to judging games and instead borrow the game from a friend, play a demo if available, rent it, watch some gameplay videos or READ a review from a publication you generally trust instead of just looking up a meaningless average. 

All Metacritic does is round up a bunch of reviews of which most are from very poorly written amateur publications and reduces all the praise/critiques/info into a meaningless weighted average out of 100% not informing anyone of anything about the game at all. People who use Metascores to claim one game better than another should be shot in the head in front of their families, people who check out Metascores to get an idea of how good a game is are mindless sheep who are incapable of reading reviews and thus have to resort to colour coded weighted averages to tell them if something is really shit, shit, ok, good or excellent. 

Sorcery is getting decent/good reviews, I haven't read many because I'm not really interested in the game but saying it 'doesn't look good' because of a 70 on Metacritic is absurd, since when was a 7/10 not good? And if you're someone who is interested in the game READ the reviews to find out what critics liked/disliked and then ask yourselves if the positives outweigh the negatives and whether the particular critics dislikes/nitpicks would actually bother you.

Gotta love the metacritters! This gen should be called the metagen.

Its the internet where people's attention span is 0.25 of a minute.

Yeah, my games need to be in the range of 490-570 nm of the visible spectrum otherwise I don't touch that shit.

Metacritic is a broad consensus of what the reviewers think of a game, it a game 5-6 across the board you can be pretty damn sure it's going to be mediocre and a 9/10 game will be good. Metacritic is a guide nothing more it's as simple as that, the only trick is ajusting the scoring to your taste if your to stupid to do that thats your fault not the sites.
