People still listen to metacritic? It's just looking at what dumb ass critics say, and seeing how most rave over CoD, it's a waste of time to look at. If you like a game, just buy it...

the game is great for multiplayer so far, and it definitely feels like a next gen shooter! Definitely the best FPS I've played this year!

They brought pack the secondary fire attachments from the original and greatly cleaned up the controls from the previous versions. The graphics are just amazing!

No. I never claimed he said the internet was around for 25 years.....you just misunderstood my wording and my point. Even after I explain myself you give me this comment again. To reiterate again, the comment was a counter that gaming for 25 years means nothing when A. the internet wasn't around for that long, B. Neither was metacritic, and C. spoken word/slang evolves over time and he thinks it doesn't.

I never attacked the score, I openly say that 70's games are worth attention and the score shouldn't detract from the experience. What I noticed was some people being petty, and not owning up to that a bar was set critically, and the result was lower. Their primary defense? Telling me that the english language doesn't add words/slang over the course of time. Really. That just happened on this thread.

People are defensive because they feel they are obligated to defend something that belongs to a corporation they for some reason, pledged their allegiance too.

I ALSO said that I expect some X1 games to fall below hype expectations. Currently:

Forza - 90's, Ryse - 70's, Dead Rising 3 - 80's, Killer Instinct - 80's. Thats the bar that we set, and if the mets fall below, you bet your ass ill take it a hell of alot better then some people here are. Sometimes we hype too high and get disapointed. Take it like a man and move on.

I wonder why the ps4 games in metacritic have so few reviews? almost all of them have no more than 20 reviews except for call of duty. Maybe it has something to do with the release being later this month in Europe?

I find it interesting that you spend more time on the PS topics than you do on the XBO ones...

And that you can't accept that people don't use your opinion about a made up definition as theirs. 

I stand up for the little guy.

Do me a favour, call me out if you find me losing it over a flopped Xbox 1 title. Now to be crystal clear, when I say flop, I mean from a critical perspective, not a sales perspective. Just want to be super clear on that.

Must I bring up how both dictionaries accomodate both our interpretations? Seriously?

lol. Think were almost done wrapping up here. Live and learn.

The way you go around what people tell you, pointing the finger at them, and coming up with made up stuff that fit your agenda... Ludicrous.
People have been clear about what they see as a flop. You think a game flops if it scores lower than expected in metacritics. But any way you want to spin it, a 74% average isn't a "complete failure". A disappointment, sure, not a failure. Your attempts at countering that, on the other end, do fail.

I am clearly not the only person on vgchartz who uses the word to define a critical context. But even so......you keep falling into the trap that you are deflecting from you at your core, trying to save face for a video game.

Never said it was a failure. Pay attention. I like 70's games. It is however, below what most expectations were....in the 80's.  Doesn't detract from its quality. I've countered you on every possible level, just learn from this and predict better/take the disapointments better. Correcting my usage of words only hurts your case.

Stubbornly misusing it hurts yours. Since that's not what the word means, even by the definition you're using.
