I think CoD4 was cited as more of a reference to gameplay changes, you have the aim assist that makes it not so easy and cheap to zig zag on console FPS, but unlike lock on it doesn't do the work for you, then you have the weapon and leveling system, nothing new but the weapons are pretty cool and there's a good bit of them, then you have it where once you reach the cap you can start again for more rep basically and unlocking a few things.

CoD4 helped revolutionize in a well built FPS for a console and working within the limitations of consoles, like the inability to shoot precisely, to make little adjustments to keep on someone you're fighting, etc.

But that's my take on the inclusion of CoD4.

People are too anally rententive about review scores.

Games getting 70 odd can be more fun then ones over 90 (3x3 nhl arcade is great fun against a mate).

Think people who watch movies cry so much when a movie they want to see gets a bad review?

edit - its kind of intensity that has stopped games from losing its kiddy status competely

But is basically impossible... unless every critic listed on meta did a review and rated it 0 to push down the overall score until it was at the 70 mark.

It's highly unlikely that it will go below 90% but there is that possibility which is why I made the thread, not for "teh lulz", not to put down KZ2, but to show if you're really looking forward to this game, it doesn't need 90% average to still be amazing in your eyes, for me it won't matter what Meta gives it until I play it myself, thats just the way I am.

but GRAW 1 is rated higher than GRAW 2..............graw2 is superiour to graw 1 in every way

graw 1 is so called AAA on meta, and graw 2 isnt AAA?

^so which is the better game?

GRAW received the highest score on Gametrailers, so it must be better than the sequel

Indeed reviews are the final word on which is better ;)

I wish you were around when we got a threadfull of flamefest because some guys were sooo happy fable2 metascored below 90.

And Sands of Time was amazing. Elevator fight included.

I agree.

And why do we care if the meta rating falls below 90?

I don't think it will happen. Even if it did I don't think it will create a difference in sales considering a large majority have already made up their mind and pre-ordered the game and many people dont really give a damn if a score is 89 or 90. I think the reception of the games audience will determine the games success. Much like how Fable 2 didn't rate above 90, but has sold well.
