Step 1: Make thread

Step 2: Buy crappy game to make sure it gets good sales

Step 3: Wonder in 5 years why games are crappy

Step 4: Make thread

 

I'm just joking, Fusion.  Not trying to start a fight with you.  But I do have a problem with the trend in gaming...and I'm glad many reviewers are feeling the same way.

Not really, I think its great that games are being punished for being shipped at a broken state... Watch, Little Timmy is going to get a ps4 for christmas with Lbp3 and when he tries to connect online, the psn servers will be down due to high traffic (cause ps4s are selling like free bjs) so he will just play the game, fall down a pit and experience his first gamebreaking bug, then go upto his room and cry in a corner. Samething goes for DC and MCC. Something like docking points will hopefully tell the developers/publishers that if they want high review scores, they have to ship the game at a complete and fully playable state without any game breaking bugs or tons of issues online

I don't get it. Are they tired of people not taking them seriously? Do they thinking giving lower scores is going to make them legit or something? Is it just their time of the month?


Is this for real? Are we really doing this now?

It's been a running joke for years that review scores have been inflated. But when reviewers have apparently remembered that there are numbers below 8, suddenly it's a problem?

...augh.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

Honestly, I see these current scores as TRUE scores. Last gen scores were very generous in my opinion.

That or the devs spent too much money on the games and not enough on the bribes.

There is one gaping flaw in your logic, I wasn't making threads 5 years ago.
