I really like Red Dead 2 but don't let metacritic determine the end all be all of whether a game is better than another. I still feel that God of War is a better all around game. Just my opinion.

By no means can I make a definitive opinion yet, but I’m about 5h into RDR2, and I already have more complaints/frustrations than I did after 60hrs with GoW (only complaint I could give about GoW was the slow climbing).

So far, I do like RDR2, but I’m not really enjoying it that much. I feel like it tries to be too realistic. And probably my biggest frustration is how they consistently throw a piece of instructional text at you while they simultaneously have dialogue occurring! And the text fades automatically after a short time. What were they thinking here? No way can I process dialogue and comprehend text simultaneously. 

A lot of people have changed their Minds about RDR2 After spending much more time

For me,From The beginning i'm in Love with this game

For me,So far this is The best Open world game ever

But since Metacritic has more reviews, and RDR2 is above BotW and Mario Odyssey according to Metacritic, it makes RDR2 universally the better game. The score-difference between these games in Gamerankings is also only a couple decimals (0,3-0, 4) so it's not enough to compensate.

 

Everyone of course has his own opinion, but facts are facts.

Gamerankings doesn't include jimmy bob reviews, it only looks at the relevant ones. Therefore, I agree with that list. I am playing RDR2 myself right at this moment. Facts aside, I still think BotW is the GOTG, that's my opinion. 

What makes other reviews less relevant? Is IGN more relevant than for example AngryCentaurGaming just because more people know it? The fact is that RDR2 has almost 40 reviews more in Metacritic compared to Gamerankings, which makes the Metacritic score more relevant.

And in my opinion RDR2 is the best game ever made. The attention to detail for example is almost unbelievable.

It's the exact reason why sites like Open Critic exist. Because they (MC) include sites like Slant.

I mean, that's what one of the literal definitions of relevant means so ... "appropriate to the current time, period, or circumstances; of contemporary interest."

So something that is more of contemporary interest is more relevant. 

That being said, Red Dead Redemption 2 won fair and square lol ...

Slant's score for Red Dead is literally just .5 higher than their Breath of the Wild score. Slant isn't the reason BOTW scored worse than Red Dead, critics liking Red Dead more on average is.

arguing over 2 games with metascores of 97 is one of the more stupid things I've seen being argued.

Sure, but I don't know why relevancy should be that important in this case. Their reviews are just as "right" as those sites that are more well-known.

It's not about just Slant or what the individual scores are. It's about aggregates of relevant venues. I don't want jimmy bob the asshole's review being thought of as legit. That is why I think curating should be stricter. In case of GR, they do that. That is why RDR2 is lower there. And for what is worth, I agree with the ranking.

I didn't bring up MC, I only used Gamerankings as an example that fits with my own opinion.

Hm ... I wonder why you agree with the site that puts BOTW over RDR2 ... let me think on that for a couple hours, I'll get back to ya.
