I'm pretty confident that there will be a game that comes along this yea that will be over 90 on metacritic so that 89 will be beaten eventually.

Didn't read the whole thread so no clue how the discussion ended but most Indie games or cheaper games in general would get a much lower score if they would have the price of a “normal“ priced game from as example Ubisoft. Indie or not isn't a problem but different prices to reach a certain Metascore are so that you would have to say maybe “only full price titles“ or stuff like that and not “no indies“.
A 90% game isn't really better as a 85% game in the eye of an editor if the 90% game costs $5 and the other costs $60. The $5 game would get smashed if it would cost $60 but it is a great game for a small price.

What's that even mean for you? some people still doing that? Counting only games with such or such criterion? Any games released on next gen system is a next gen game, period. Because Titanfall released on 2 other systems too, so it's technically a cross-gen game.
In fact the 2 best 2014 games (by metacritic) released on the 3 next gen system this year are Rayman legends (XB1/PS4) and Fez on PS4. People don't care if their games are indie, digital or multiplat. Please stop with this arbitrary fanboy discrimination. Those are still incredible great games available on the machines, and gamers know it. Fez not even available on Wii U and XB1 and it's IMO, really the best game released this year so far.
And BTW the system having the most +80 metacritic games this year (and easily) is PS4.
Number of +80 games released this year:
- Wii U -> 4
- XB1 -> 6
- PS4 -> 13
PS4 has no games, remember?

A list please? Gamerankings shows just 6 80+ PS4 games for PS4...

I think for this kind of threads should be a break on retail or digital only releases. That will be able to get rid of small games, which can be good for 5 bucks but not equal to its 60 bucks competitors.

It's a thread about metacritic scores (implied with the specific metacritic scores written in the OP) released in 2014:
http://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/release-date/available/ps4/metascore
- Fez : 90
- Rayman Legends: 90
- Towerfall : 87
- FF14 : 86
- Transistor : 85
- Tomb Raider DE : 85
- MLB 14: The Show : 83
- Child of light : 82
- Sportsfriends : 82
- SteamWorld Dig : 82
- Star wars Pinbal : 80
- Trials fusion : 80
- Infamous Second Son : 80
Again, why choose any criteria? Games are games. One of the most played and sold PS3 game is currently Minecraft which is a cross-gen/multiplat game and until a few days only available digitaly on PS3. And it's a known system seller (like AAA exclusive game MK8), notably seen with the X360 version.
In the mind of gamers, there are not differences between exclusive, cross-gen, next-gen, multiplat, digital only etc. If a game is great, it will sell systems, like Minecraft (cross-gen multiplat) on X360 and probably MK8 (exclusive next gen) on Wii U.

I was sure, you'll be able to spin it the way you want.
But for ordinary people your list consists of ports of old and indy games with an only exception of new yearly baseball game and Infamous which was strangely able to hang on the 80 mark.

Rayman Legends is not a 2014 game, its a 2013 game despite ps4/x1 late port. Other games you mention arent 2014 games either.
How am i being a fanboy? I think it might be you cuz MK8 is on top? Anywayz i dont recll saying anything like "PS4 has no games", dont mix my words up pls Thank You!!!
*As for Indies, I wanted them seperate cuz i feel (not the only one) they are based on a number of different things then the standard game, that is all.

I'd divide em on retail/digital releases. Since the points given are crearly different for 60$ and 10$ games.

Thank you! Most games he listed arent even 2014 games, dont kno why he is so offended for!? I think its more of MK8 currently being 1st more than anything. Oh well Its not like it'll remain first! There's Destiny, X, AC games, etc!

Its not like i was saying Indie's aren't real games lol! Just feel comparison for both should be different. Thats all! Glad your about the same level as me (in terms of seeing things)
