Zekkyou, I just discovered this thread now, but I have to say. Well done. This is one of the best threads I have seen. So much detail and work.

May you rule VGC soon ;)

HyWa is down to 74 from the recently updated Edge magazine review from the latest issue. GameRankings has it at 75.51, somehow, so I'm not sure why the two are so different unless one of the higher ranks were weighed differently from Metacritic.

I don't think any other reviews will come in for the title.

Metacritic is weighted while GR is a pure average. Meta also has about 20 more reviews listed, so combined those likely account for the difference.

Anyway, thanks for pointing it out ^^. I'll update it (along with adding DC, assuming it reaches 75+) at some point in the next few days. I think i also need to make some changes to the 'PS4/X1 only' side graph.

I don't think you'll have to add Driveclub. >.>

I did have a question: do titles like Super Luigi U count on this?

It's currently at 74 based on 39 reviews, so it still has a chance. Or it might pull a HW and bounce between 74 and 75 like an annoying flee ¬_¬

And yes, they do. With exception to indie collections (for now), as long as it's had a retail release and can be bought as a stand alone product it's valid for the list ^^ They aren't particularly common, and tend to be reviewed harsher than you'd expect for their price point, so it tends to work out fine.

If they ever become common and frequently receive very high scores i'll consider removing them, but for now i think they're fine. Makes my life easier :p

Stahp it HW, stahp.

Ah well, thanks for pointing it out. At least now i won't need to bother editing it :p

Nice, still waiting for the 8th gen top list.

I'll probably put a top 8th gen list up in the next update ^^ I might also do one for the 7th gen console exclusives, since the current one is only for the 'true' exclusive list.
