S.T.A.G.E. said:
Metacritic is not useless to the discussion because it is an aggregate as I said before. If Microsoft believed review scores were useless they wouldn't have barred reviews until the release date of Ryse instead of letting them come in a week earlier. They know review scores affect sales which is why these days people have been accusing companies of paying off reviewers (namely IGN). Sales impact the continuing of an IP, but reviews and aggregates tell the opinions of the people who played the games and Ryse was a slightly average game based on user aggregate and media aggregate. Its better that first party fails than paying a third party to make crap for you. Just shows how much Microsoft pays attention to the track records of the companies they pay.
In your situation between you and me I respected your opinion. I don't care about what you think of between me and a group of people. Thats a pretty sad way to think.

1 - What would you say about Infamous SS vs Dead Rising? Especialy when the agregated score have zeros like these:
"Killing zombies is fun, as always.
+ There are A LOT of different weapons.
- DR3 doesn't feel next-gen, because graphics don't look cool and the game runs at 30fps.
- Frame rate drops (the game went down to 14fps once)
- After a few hours you will get bored, killing zombies randomly without a reason is not fun"
2 - Why any alternative would be better. In any case the companie would have to lay off staff and reorganise its assets. Are you aware of what happened with Rare and Kinect Sport Rivals?
