Forums - Nintendo - So, Super Mario 3D World is still on the top of rated exclusives this gen...

Damn you're right I thought that link people were posting earlier showed fractions and the scores in more detail when it's just a list.... There is no data their..

OOPS. carry on with your day everyone, sm3dw and uncharted 4 tied.

I think I see someone being completely irrational and I turn into the hulk!

Apologies people!

I can't belive people can be so dense... UC 4 and SM3DW have the same score

How is being more accurate being dense, and since when was looking at decimals of anything dumb or reaching. Not that metacritic is known for being very accurate but still.

The people being illogical and dense in this thread are the people pretending decimals and fractions don't exist. God you people must have trouble with PI.

Damn next people will be saying we shouldnt count tenths of a second in motorracing, only WHOLE SECONDS!

But this whole thread is pretty dumb.

I never said it's dumb. Just dense. Think about it... does it really matter?

Or is all this just so you can say: "Uncharted 4 is the highest rated game according to metacritic."

Actually, I only write news. I need to kind of  re-apply to be able to make reviews.

Oh, you should. In fact some of the users should apply. I see some of them doing reviews.

Thanks. I appreciate that But I've promised myself to do some intense studying in game design if I ever decide to become a reviewers.

I agree on that. Many of the users that do... erhm... "independent" reviews (idk) should alway look out to apply for the site!



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

If you want to choose the best of something but two things are tied you look at decimals if they are available, you don't say ITS A TIE!!! Just because you want it to be. If more detail is available you use it simple as, it's illogical not to rank something as accurately as possible.

Person A finished in 10.1 seconds
Person B finished in 10.3 seconds

ITS A TIE!!!

Frankly I don't give a damn about any of this but seeing people be illogical makes me into a twat.

 

Uncharted 4 is the highest rated exclusive game according to metacritic this gen, absolute fact anyone choosing to ignore data to say otherwise is reaching.

But there are no decimals in metacritic. At least not available to us. For all we know they could be completely tied.

Anyway, in reviews, what does .2 points even mean? More fun? Less tedious? Better overall? Graphics, characters, story, world design, level design? It's meaningless in the end.

I'm just ranting on the video games review system, tbf. 

We don't have the decimals available, all we have is Metacritic's own list where UC4 is ranked higher than SM3DW. Which necessarily means that they *can't* be tied, however close they are.

 

I could ask the same about 1 point, or 5 or 10. I agree tbh, review scores suck when they are aggregated. It kinda works if it's the same reviewer you're following, cause then you know an 8 vs a 7 simply means that same reviewer liked the 8 more, but when you throw it all together ala Metacritic, it means nothing.

Actually UC4 is ranked higher

93 > 93

?

 

91 reviews averaging 93 is ranked higher on metacritic than 83 reviews averaging 93.

 

I'm guessing it's more that, than decimal places which has picked the ranking.

 

Either way I think this makes it perfectly clear that Outrun 2 is the better game.
