They should do away with review scores if only so that fanboys have less to bicker about. :L

They'd still bicker at the end of the day so it doesn't change a thing :(



Squeezol's Fanclub Member? is that how it works?

Why can't I hold all these no gaemz?

Always looking to improve my awful drawings ;_;

Games with scores below 70 are rarely great.

But on occasion I find myself enjoying a game with a meta score lower than 70. However, games with lower scores tend to be bad or boring.

 

Perhaps people need to look at meta scores as a recommendation and not the actual quality of a game. Hence, no need get upset when ______ gets a lower score than ______.

I kind of liked Hyperdimension Neptunia for my first playthrough (second playthrough made me hate the game) although I tried to think of something  else around the range of 50 that I liked, and couldn't name any :/. 

The biggest problem with metacritic is it's influence in gaming and how people view it. the scores themselves don't do anything.

That's just an assumption!

Well the average person just looks at high scores as something worth checking out.

However, some people take scores personally. As if a scores determines whether or not they should enjoy a game. That's just stupid.

It's the truth! You know it'll happen no matter what anyone does!

I like the way Kotaku does it. Either a yes or a no...No number scores.


This, they don't care of being featured on metacritic, they're against it.

Explain the irony.

Is my sig telling people they should enjoy? I'd argue no, but it points out the quality of 8th gen has been disappointing. I think most agree.

As of now, 7th gen gets most of my time.
