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

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.

Really? I trust user scores more than professional critics. Sure they are biased as hell but at least they don't have ads promoting the very games they're supposed to review and many of the troll userscores can be easily filtered out. Biased professional reviews are usually more organized making it harder to discern bias.

User reviews are in the end opinions like the ones you see on the press reviews. Unfortunately, user reviews are plagued of trolls and fanboys, so it is harder to use it as a guide. In fact, Metacritic user reviews are the worse you could find.

What I do lately is to watch gameplay. If the game interest me, I'll go and read some reviews, focusing on the "pros" and "cons" they tend to summarize.

I guess a few of them can be very helpful, but I wont look through the sea of shit to find them.

You are a writer on VGCHartz. You can write reviews.

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.

I am starting to think you either don't know how this works or that you are being deliberately obtuse.  For the sake of the former I will try to explain.

You say: SM3DW is still the highest rated exclusive of the gen.  Yes I am paraphrasing because you said "top of rated exclusives" which amounts to the same thing.

Everyone else calls you on that with the fact that on Metacritics ranking list the 93 for UC4 is considered higher than the 93 for SM3DW.  You can tell this by the rankings they have on the previously linked page.

Yet, you defend by saying people have to incorporate fractions.  Which the site itself incorporates based on the rankings they give.  Otherwise, they would just list all the 93s alphabetically and mention that it is listed as such.

When you aggregate numbers you have to take fractions into consideration.  When you display things you want them to look clean.  Fractions and decimals aren't clean.  Therefore, for aesthetics, they leave them out.  Still with me?

Therefore your statement that SM3DW is "still on top" is actually wrong, and now you are defending by trying to move your goalposts.  See?

Is it really that bad for you that 3D World shares the same metacritic score as Uncharted 4?

Is it really that important to you that 3D World shares the same metacritic score as Uncharted 4? You are putting a lot of effort in it to proof that.

I didn't make any effort. Just put a couple of pics.

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. 



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.

Shows that the PS4 is hardly more powerful than the Wii U. Sony shouldn't have cut corners when designing their hardware.

I don't think it has to do anything with power. Super Mario Galaxy for example.
