Forums - Sony Discussion - Could Killzone 2 drop below 90% on meta?

thekitchensink on 23 February 2009

The world will end. It won't be the same game. My enjoyment will be affected. Lolcats will rule the internet.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

i think that it has a chance of it but i wouldnt be to worried about it r u not going to get it if it falls under ninety?
and i think that halo got a 60

I'd still get it eventually, the demo turned me off cause of the control layout, but I'm waiting till the final game to see if there's other layouts then those 6 presets.

Is it so hard to implement customizable control layout ? It worked in Resistance, so why not here ? Geez...

I still stand beside my prediction.

I doubt it. I expect at least a 9.0 from Gamespot, unless they try some funny business.

It's not hard at all I've never seen a developer complain about it being hard either just takes time.  I'm really hoping the 6 presets aren't final I really like custom controls, and more toggling cause holding the buttons makes the cover system frustrating and uncomfotable to me.

I think Metacritic tends to push games in one way or another. For the longest time L4D and Portal were at an 89 and then one day randomly added a review and bumped it up to 90.

The reviews that don't have a number score and just have a letter or writing are the most dangerous. Metacritic writes down wrong numbers a lot.

For example. http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/xbox360/halo-wars

GR gave it a "B" which is a 80-89 percent. MC has it as a 75. That's cutting Halo Wars at least 5 points off. I'm sure this isn't the only game that has been jipped but still.

That is because Metacritic has a horrible letter to number conversion. They absolutely suck at it and their aggregated scores shouldn't be taken seriously.

A+ = 100

A = 100

A- 91

B+ = 83

B = 75

B- = 67

And so forth. It is a joke.

Then comes to Variety reviews which have no score at all and somehow we are supposed to believe that Variety only gives Metacritic their number score which I highly doubt as well.

I've been wondering for the longest time why people use Metacritic instead of Gamerankings anyways. Why? WHY?!!!

Yeah Gamerankings use more reviews, though they're both owned by Cnet, which also own gamespot.  I like IGN's ranking as well, but it's hard to navigate that site @_@

If I remember correctly over on the Meta forums it is said that the review scores on Meta are done by just one person. If true, that would make me think as well.

I personally just stick to either Gamerankings or N4G since N4G includes all review scores and not just ones the site picks and chooses, in their case everyones opinion counts.
