SSBU is really the highest game for 2014?

The last of us remastered is 95 on metacritic


Metacritic ranks the games in the year for their original release, and that is considered a re-release.

Metacritic discounts remasters and ports when counting their best games of the year, otherwise GTA V PS4/One also would have beaten SSB.

Oh I don't know that. Fair enough thanks

Down year last year but that's understandable. Is Soulcalibur the highest rated fighting game ever? Not that I disagree, that game was a revelation.


Yes, second is Tekken 3 with a 96 average.



Not like one can put critic scores from 20 years ago on equal footing as critic scroes from today, still neat to know.



I still cant believe why so many people think Tony skater is so good, its really not :/

Differnt tastes, but yeah I agree with you.

If I was makeing the list it would be ALOT differnt.. .and it wouldnt have made the list either.

 

basically I dont give these metacrits much value, their tastes and mine are so far apart, them saying something is "good" is almost not something I can even take to heart. Its differnt when they say something is bad... usually thats something everyone agrees on.



And yet, Nintendo games never win the highest number of GOTY awards in any given year.

Do you think Nintendo should or shouldn't get GOTY awards.



Yeah, 2015 is not even half way over, and we already have The Witcher III which is higher than SSB, and Bloodborne which ties it.



2012 - The Walking Dead: Season One (94)


What the hell...
