This thread is why you don't use "facts" to prove a point when you don't fully understand how to analyze them.
lol what kind of score is 89?
Heh.
I do so love people trying to 'prove' their points using Metacritic.

Also if you just take real full featured games (not just download games) the PS3 actually has an advantage. A lot of your 360 games like Fight Night 3 not listed on the PS3 are in fact out on the PS3. Also a LOT of those 360 games are only not out on the PC YET. Is there any doubt Halo will not be ported? (1 and 2 were and now bungee is independent...) Is there any doubt that there won't be a Fable 2 the lost chapters on PC? Any doubt on a better version of Gears of War 2 on PC just like with Gears of War 1? Every single good 360 game either A) ends up on the PS3 (or once in a long while the Wii ala Dead Rising) or B) ends up on the PC. There are 0 exclusively 360 games that are any good period. If you distill that list down all the 360 really has truly exclusively is Dead or Alive 4 which I would contend is fully canceled out by Tekken 5 Online, and a few racing games which are all vastly inferior to the Gran Turismo series, yes even Prologue alone beats any of them much less a full featured GT release. The PS3 on the other hand has Uncharted, Resistance 1, Resistance 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Little Big Planet, MLB the show (multiple years), Valkyria, Ratchet and Clank, Heavenly Sword, Wipeout HD and Ninja Gaiden Sigma as free and clear PS3 exclusives, no PC, no 360, no Wii. In terms of true exclusives the PS3 dwarfs the 360 hands down. It isn't even close. |
Atta Boy!!! Way to be the biggest troll possible in all threads that even think about making the 360 look good.
Change your profile pic to this...
Much more fitting for your line of work.

And then those same people claim that metacritic is awful and should not be trusted.
Use IGN, seriously. All of their reviews are well-written and properly scored. I can't say the same about EuroGamer, Gamespot and 1UP. And guess what? All three of those publications' scores contribute to the metascore, EuroGamer with its MGS4 8/10, Gamespot with its Tools of Destruction 7.5/10, and of course 1UP with their Resistance 2 B+ (the same people that gave Soulcalibur 4 an A).
Metacritic is not a gauge of quality. It includes various publications that base their reviews on five minutes of gameplay, or a trailer, or another review. The three I named are among the BEST that metacritic uses.
Also, the X360 has more games, and more high-rated games, in general. You know this, OP, so I'm going to assume this is a joke post...
EDIT: Are you honestly going to get less enjoyment out of an 89, compared to a 90? Is an 84 fundamentally worse than an 85? And these keep changing, so a game can, indeed, go from being an 89 to an AMAZINGLY DIFFERENT 90+ AAA title as time goes on, and vice versa.

Halo 3, Fable 2 and Gears of War 2 will hit the PC, 100% sure, and Braid is confirmed on PC too.

Just because a certain game website or magazine didn't give your favorite game a good enough score doesn't mean they can't be trusted. Whats great about metacritic is that it takes almost every review on almost any given game. It takes the ridiculously high and the ridicuously low review scores and what comes out is usually quite fair average scores. And you have to remember no matter how good you think a game is that doesn't mean everyone else is goina think the exact same. Games like MGS4 may be an 8.2 to some people and a 10 to others. I'm goina guess that if the tables were turned and the 360 had less high rated games then the PS3, people like you would probably be using metacritic to defend your arguments.
Great work!
I love seeing myths debunked.
Metacritic said most of us should go outside or decide things for ourselves.
...
Yeah we aren't going to listen to them now are we?

This. PS3 does have a 90+ shooter it's called Uncharted (89 is a joke for this game) and according to Metacritic it was not as good of a game as Gemetry Wars. The rest of what you said I agree with, but I think neither console needs PC at this point. |
Calm down. Uncharted is 88%.
