What does the number represent? Average?

Yeah. 

I see.

Well in that case...who cares? People should have their of taste in games regardless of reviews. 

Some of the games I enjoyed this gen got pretty bad metacritic reviews. Alone in the Dark, Viking, Sonic Unleashed... Yet some of the games that are praised I totally hated like MGS4 and every COD out there after 4. 

I do agree with Nintendo beng number 1. They make awesome games even if they milk their franchises somewhat.

see i cant take this list seriously because there is no 2k/rockstar/ take two (i get confused to who is the actual publisher) see when a company release games like red dead, GTA, bully, max payne and bioshock and somehow namco bandi is a better publisher then them makes me to just see the list as flawed


Just major publisher.  They are mid tier publishers.  I tried finding Warner Brothers but i couldnt.  They have so many companies O.o


what defines a major publishers from mid tier publishers? if it comes to quality rockstar wins, if it comes to sales rockstar also wins. when it comes to brand awarness rockstar also wins. i know you didnt put the list yourself so dont think im arguing lol. im just curious as what makes a publisher mid tier or major


I agree that Rockstar is the best publisher.  They are very respected.  Valve and Bethesda also does a good job.  

The main difference is that big publishers publish a lot more games than mid tier.  Rockstar doesnt publish a lot of games but the ones that they do are huge.  Sony publishes a lot more games with a lot of hit and miss titles.  Does that make sense?

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Pretty much.  It's what ive been talking about recently, is that many games get a lot of attention in forums just because they are exclusive and not because they are good.  While other games get ignored even if they are better because they are multiplatform.  I love sony and MSFT as they have had some big games but both are no where near perfect.  They both publish games every year that i could care less about.  Some are good and some are bad.  When companies like EPIC, Valve, and Rockstar announces a game though, I'm listening right a way.  Wether they are developing it or publishing it.

oh yes i agree, just look at your threads about the top games of the generation you made, its mostly exclusives. or your best shooter thread. also mostly exclusives even though red dead redemption and have higher meta scores than most of those exclusives. and yet they come in here and fight about metascores and point them out as an evidence for quality.

I know.  that's why i hate doing those threads now and have changed the rules this year.  I'm rankng themm three different ways though to avoid the exclusive fest that we usually have.

Well, Microsoft has so little bit of games, and Nintendo and Activision have WAY more...
But still, go Nintendo!
