It's a step into the right direction I guess. Review scores has caused lots of debates recently among the gaming community. We will see what happen in the future.

A correct decision for the right direction. Though I'm still a bit iffy on the recommendation badges, it seems way more inclusive than a score that can make or break a game.

Which seems to be the one thing that people seem to argue against even though the score never impacts the way they enjoy or play the game, I still play games that are considered shitty by today's standards and Arin over at GG admitted he loved how bad Bullet Witch was, everyone knew what game was recived badly and deserved it but he still enjoyed how bad it was.

Agree with you on your previous point though, starting to see that same pattern of people agreeing with the new system all sharing the one common allegiance.

Thank god... The more crazy biased review sites that leave Metacritic, the better... Now if we can only get rid of Polygon and MetroGameCentral..

I'm fine with that.

And for these that didn't understand what is happening I will give an example... EG score Destiny with a 8/10 and after that they couldn't stop to play the game that evolves more and more people each day and had to list it for the 2nd best game released in 2014 (behind just Mario Kart 8).

So reviews of games played at launch didn't show how strong and good the games are anymore.

I'm fine with the way some sites are updating the score after some time (6 months, 1 year, etc).

Why, because they disliked a game you liked?

Yeah I can't believe MGC is even accepted into Metacritic, they need to go.

Great move. More sites should follow suit imo

Bah, now I have to quote passages from their reviews to show their bias, instead of simply ridiculing their scores.
The 8/10 vs 9/10 squabbling will just be replaced by recommended / essential arguing.

I think the best one is still 1-10 score system as it gives you the clearest answer.
