I do not base my opinions on scores. I base my opinion on when I actually play the game. However, I still follow scores, because the higher the score, the higher the chance, my opinion will follow the scores. See? It is still important to follow scores, because otherwise, you're jumping blindfolded, and there's way too much shovel ware out there. However, it is important not to judge by the numbers, but to read the reasons for the numbers, and decide if they seem legit or not. You like Uncharted, and that's fine. Universally, it is claimed not to be a masterpiece, according to review sites, assuming that 90%+ is the mark of a masterpiece. Hey, some people like Superman 64 and ET for Atari (I know... Crazy world we live in), so really, no matter how bad, or good a game is, someone out there, loves it, or hates it.


 So how lower the scores how lower the chance your opinion will not follow the scores;....Lolz;.


Let me rephrase that: The lower the score, the lower the chance I will like the game. Something like that.

91% is bad how?

There are more important things to worry about, like when GoW 3 is comming!

91% is not bad. The question was, will it stay like that? But like I said a million times, it's at 9.6 on NG4 with 35 reviews, so it looks like it really has lived up to the hype. Looks like the PS3 truly has found its masterpiece. I guess the whole downward trend isn't so true after all.

My Internet is a pile of shit, so that's why there's all these big spaces in my posts. Ignore them. You know, there needs to be just ONE video game review website, with every single review in it. Having to sift through multiple review sites is a pain in the ass, because some reviews are absent in every single review site. It's just annoying. Now, the only question is, which one is the best one?

Metal Gear Solid 4 is a PS3 exclusive. Is anyone at all surprised that review scores are averaging less than previous titles in the series even though it's looking to be the best of the series with a huge number of improvements?

For example: Ratchet and Clank Future and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune both would average over 90 on Metacritic if they were on the 360.

Why would you "not" be surprised if its score is less than previous installments, if it truly is the best one???

Would Ratchet and Drake be better on 360? Well, most games, it seems, are better on 360, because apparently, they're built on the 360, then ported over. However, these games were built on PS3, so if they're ported on the 360, then maybe there will be no "360 effect."

It seems that nobody can agree on one thing. There's opinions up the ass in this post. Man, oh, man. Just forget everything. MGS4 looks good, so it probably "will" be good. We'll wait and see...

Uncharted is as good as COD 4?  Uncharted is a great game but COD 4 is better, IMO.

 So far best Top 5 PS3 games I have played

1. COD 4 

2. UnCharted

3. MotorStorm

4. GTA 4

5. Resistance

*(MGS 4 could be top of the list or second place but have not played it yet)

So it can't be worse than Motorstorm, GTA IV for sure =p?

I am surprised you have Motorstorm in your top 5.

It's my choice, COD 4 is great if multiplayer is what you like, i still prefer playing alone, so uncharted is better in my book.

Really, there is absolutely no point in arguing what games are better than others, because it's impossible to tell, even if you go by the reviews. Especially, when you say one game is better than another, when the reviews say other wise, because it confirms that others do not agree with you. It's just a jumbled mess. I like to follow the reviews, but no matter what, it is almost NEVER a fact that one game, is better than another, especially since there will always be someone who disagrees.
