Forums - Sales - Does a player base know quality?

@Millennium

All I am getting is clicks and whistles here. Give me a second there it is my tin foil hat. Yes now I can understand you. I knew it those damn crab people are up to it again. Influencing the video game reviewers to low ball Wii titles so that people will not get in shape for the coming war. Well I suppose crab people can at least be eaten so we will not starve on the battlefields.

We would really be in trouble if it was the five Jew bankers, Odessa, or Men in Black. Then we really would have no hope whatsoever. Seriously where the fuck do you people come from that concoct elaborate conspiracy theories. Thank heaven above you guys are not actually in charge of anything. I really could see your solutions give them guns, and legalize all the drugs you know to prevent the secret societies from taking over. Guns so they can fight, and the drugs so they never sleep.

it also must be mentioned that Wii owners probably need to be ashamed of themselves.

Go suck a lemon.



Sorry, by assuming that reviewers not only know quality, but in fact define quality, you have made a completely invalid assumption.



interesting way to work it.

could we use the top ten selling games for each platform then average out their review score as a sign of quality. the scores for these games in each list should have its weight in the ranking adjust for its percentage of top ten unit sales .... I.E wii sports would have more pull on the quality rating then say mario party 8 due to the sales difference

I always find it amusing when people who only play on a single console, or have even own purchased one brand lecture about the evils of reviewers. Seriously how would you know tucked away in your own little world. How can you even be sure you know what the standards are. Wouldn't that be egocentric, or would you say a little self serving?

it is one of the acceptable ways to judge gaming/art 

 

 

there is a whole field of study for who determines what is and is not quality. I took a fascinating class years ago the philosophy of art where we basically spent the whole semester arguing using different lines of thought as to what can be art and cant be, and who has the power to make these decisions.

 

does the artist/ the critic/ the public/ the individual viewing it make it art or can they make it not art.

 

these lists are just as valid or invalid as you let them be to you.

I am not the arbiter of how anyone else should compile their list, but including games that were packaged with the system is a recipe for a full blown disaster. They are what amounts to mandatory purchases, and often enough buyers do not want them. They often never play them, or sell them given there is a market.

I will say this though it would probably be best to compile a list soon. With all the rumors that major titles are going to be packaged in with systems it would only serve to make things only more convoluted.



All you've proven is that the purchasing decisions of XBox 360 owners are more in line with the gaming tastes of game reviewers than the purchasing decisions of Wii owners.

You have proven NOTHING about quality except that you trust the opinions of game reviewers over your own opinions.

I dare you to use this method to come up with the percentages for the PS2, XBox, and GameCube.

We've been nemeses ever since we had almost the same exact post count, same exact VG$, and same exact opinions on just about everything.  I can't post anywhere without looking over my shoulder to be sure you're not right behind me with a laptop typing what I'm typing but hitting the post button faster.
