just read some reviews^^

You completely rely on someone else's opinion? You should be happy with MGS V and Fallout4 .


Alright bub. In this day and age, there are A LOT of mothertrucking games out there. It's almost impossible to keep up with all of them and they all cost a pretty, pretty penny. People don't have money to just willy nilly buy every game they might want, so they use reviews. That's the entire fucking point of reviewers. It's so people don't have to buy the game to determine if they want the game. Will they maybe miss out on a game they might have liked by listening to reviewers? Maybe. Maybe not. But that doesn't mean that you can call people sheep because they read reviews. There are shit games out there. DT was one of them. Get over it. If you liked it, great! Good for you! I'm sure there's someone who would enjoy the smell of my shit! Doesn't mean it's a good smell. And if we reviewed my poop like Metacritic, we would see that most people agree the smell sucks ass. That's the beauty of reviews. That's the beauty of Metacritic. Get off your high horse.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

How is implied when the person saying this is not a Nintendo fan to beggin with? It contradicts your message:

Lol do nintendo fans feel like they deserve a great review just because it is a nintendo game. Ridiculous.



How the f am I supposed to know whether OP is a nintendo fan or a jamaican or a federer fan?!

But a statement such as the title and the ridiculous justification of it IMPLIED it was a nintendo fan who feels they deserve a great review just because it is a nintendo published game, even though MC is aggregated scores, so if metacritic is somehow biased, it might be to do with the fact 20+ reviewers didn't like it, as is their right to do so.

For your question, you can:

1. Ask

2. Check his/her profile

3. look at the comments in the thread

So you can't be a Nintendo fan, a Federer fan and a Jamaican at the same time, or is this a very poor and exagerated attempt at implying that it is near impossible to figure whether he/she is a Nintendo fan despite the availability of #1-3, with #3 literally given to you?

Regardless you say in your latest response it was a implied that a Nintendo fan (singular) wrote this complaint. Yet, in your first comment, you comment about Nintendo fans (plural) in a generalization rather than that specifically implied Nintendo fan. Its also clear you are generalizing instead of specifying because your first comment clearly expressesses your suprise at the op's title and what's written, and projecting that individual's thoughts to Nintendo fans in general. There is nothing you wrote, implied or otherwise, that implies otherwise. Which really doesn't make sense to write becasue many thus far, which clearly includes a established Nintendo fans, have disagreed with the op's viewpoint.



I'm way more concerned about the lack of effort in the title, to be honest.

There's bias, that part is obvious.


Would you like to point out the obvious bias in the reviews for these three titles in the OP?



This thread is awful. Most of the people who reviewed the games thought they were mediocre. That's it. Done. End.

This belief that our own personal opinions supersede the general consensus is ridiculous.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

How is it bias when all Metacritic does is gathers all reviews and creates an average? Shit games are shit unfortunately. 

I know the Wii U gets next to no 3rd party support but to call out a website that literally gathers data and creates an average "Biased" is hilarious at best

Keep fighting the good fight though bro

It's not a real average. It's a weighted average where some sites and publications are given a heavier value on the overall score.


That and the fact it's only Western reviewers, and not the rest of the world.

It is hella fun, if you can handle it. I beat the game twice and replay many level's in Score Attack mode. "FPS + TPS + melee combat" formula works perfect in this case for me.

 

By the way, characters models in Devil's Third and Project Zero just gorgeous for current gen. 


I don't care about graphics. But I believe you that you enjoy the game. I also enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever very much, which got horrible reviews. Games are always subjective and it seems like a lot of people agree with me that Devil's Third is a bad game. There might be a niche audience who enjoys it a lot, but that's no reason for the review scores to be any higher, neither should the scores for Duke Nukem Forever be any higher. The reviewers are stating what they personally think about a game, there is no objectivity in here nor is it a reason to call bias on them. 

So can you tell me how exactly it is bad? You say nothing but "gameplay isn't fun". It isn't fun compare to what? Cod? Titanfall? Ninja Gaiden? Setting, locations, music, bossfights - was it all not memorable?

I can't say this game is for niche audience. Almost everyone in JP and EU miiverse love it.

Rather than the gameplay isn't fun, it'd be correct to say it's objectively bad. People can still enjoy bad games, it happens and there's nothing wrong with it.

But Metacritic doesn't rate any of those games. Metacritic only collects various reviews and averages the scores into a single score. I suppose all of the sites that gave these games a low score because of the dislike for Nintendo.



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

Not sure what the indie comment has to do with anything. Just because they're not AAA doesn't mean they can't score high if they're decent. These titles would have scored much higher if they were...you know.....good?
