Scores don't make the game AAA. Isn't it the budget of the game that classifies it as AAA?

no no no no no no! Uncharted is not triple A because triple A is defined by an arbitrary number created by some person and if a game goes beneath that number it is immediately no longer AAA!

Last of us, judging by those who have had hands on with it in the media, is almost assured a 90+ meta.  GoW I'm not so sure because they may be tired of the formula or not like MP (I won't mind one bit and think the story has a chance to do some cool stuff since he's just becoming angry).  Puppeteer and Beyond have an outside chance I mean Heavy Rain got 87 with a dreadfully slow start and some clunky controls.  Iron out some edges and add in Ellen Page and you could easily have a much higher rated game (I adored Heavy Rain).  Puppeteer most likely not but sometimes critics fall in love with 2d platformers and the look is very unique.

One thing that baffles me however is how ACiT is only an 87 on metacritic.  I lose all faith in reviewers when I see these types of scores for the best 3d platformer/adventure game this gen and my personal favorite game of the gen.  I mean honestly just everything about it was perfect from puzzles to story to humor to weapons to gadgets to new gameplay mechanics (moons, space combat, weapon customizing, time travel).  It had me crying at the end of joy and sorrow.  It's not the first that I've just been baffled at reviews after playing it either.  Infamous and Infamous 2 deserve 9s.  The unique story and gameplay along with the awesome way they take you from barely knowing what your powers are to gradually elevating them even between games and finally using trophies practically (to know what you did in the previous game and factor it in).  It's because of games like these that I started to completely dismiss review scores this gen and why I'm just as excited for Sly 4 as I am for LoU despite middling reviews. /rant

nothing matters as far as metas go to me because I enjoyed The Ratchet and Clank games this gen (before All4One) more than any of those "AAA" ones.  I also enjoyed Infamous 1 and 2 far more than many of them.  Resistance 3 was also my favorite shooter since maybe HL2.  I just don't get reviewers this gen.

Hahaha ranking them by metacritic score. That's Kaz-tastic!!!

Anyway, both consoles have great exclusives.

Well durrrrrr

Prepare for war though. PS3 is a beast

Is this news to anyone? lol

Ahhh I remember the days of VGC when we used to argue via metacritic lol....Good ol times....I think Im going to go create a bait thread excuse me.

I thought this was established?

It wasn't so much that people were arguing using metacritic. It was that one side used metacritic as evidence for superiority and refused to accept the logical arguments debunking their thought process.
