Ex: Comparing tv shows with 1-2min clips (clips being Indies). Not everybody wants to categorize all of it together

Ok fine if i do add indie games is there any thats new this year on next gen only? (with an 87+ aside from towerfall)

That's a pretty terrible analogy, and this is the problem I have with it.  

One has a big budget and is developed by a major studio; the other has a small budget and is developed by some small French studios.

Gaming is moving forward to a point where bigger titles will continue to exist but they'll be fewer and farther between compared to the smaller stuff.  In previous generations the line was blurred since everything got a retail release (mostly at full price too) and smaller titles which would've been downloadable games nowardays were not.

And the only reason I'm making such a point about it is because you make so many threads in general, but particularly ones over the last few days, where you're using Metacritic as a measure but then throwing games which aren't "main" out of the window.  Such as "top rated 3DS/WiiU/Vita exclusives (but not indies)" and now this.  I just wish that I could change your mindset about this for future threads.

(I also have issues with how you define "indies".  Downloadable =/= "indie".  In many cases it does, but that's a generalization; not a rule.  But that's an argument for another thread/day)

I don't know!  I don't spend much time on Metacritic.  You're the one doing the research :P

I'll leave it alone after this because I've said my peace, anyway.

Yeah, I am mocking you here a bit much. It's just that communication is a whole lot easier if everyone involved has the same definition for words. It shouldn't be necessary that we have to carry around a tbone dictionary.

Anyway, you actually do have a point by excluding digital-only games or putting them on a separate list, because they are rated differently. A legitimate 90+ retail game destroys a 90+ digital-only game in terms of content, depth and options. In other words, digital-only games are indeed lesser games.

I agree that they're generally reviewed differently, but there are games that have a lot of depth and content. Games that can be played for hundreds of hours.

So I agree that they're reviewed differently disagree with comparing them with 2 minute clips or saying that they don't have much content.

I think Halo 5 or the next Uncharted will top it.

Yeah, tbone, you will have to improve when it comes to the meaning of words. Otherwise you are a woman. Look here:

That's a dictionary that does exist. Woman - German; German - Woman. It's a bestseller and indeed very helpful.
