@Xxain

now your pulling at strings & getting paranoid

where did I say a 0.2 difference affects the quality or is due to the quality?

nowhere in my post have I mentioned that at all

But if your making a big issue out of some game getting 0.2 higher than another one.....once again to people who think its a big deal, get over yourself & accept its 0.2 lower on metacritic because of whatever reason.

im not gettin paranoid...90 up puts u in AAA status...8.8 will be consired a B game..my point is wat is so different in both games that 1 is AAA and is not??..u relie on artificial numbers to claim the quality of a game

That's life. Using my schools standards, if I have a 85.3% average I am a B student. If my friend gets 85.6% he is an A student. There has to be a cutoff point at somepoint, and the unlucky ones will just miss it while some will just make it.

8.8 is a B game since when?

after the kind of love Uncharetd & Valkyria Chronicles get on this website NO-ONE has the right to say 8.8 on VGC is considered as a B game, even elsewhere on the net I've seen hate for games below 8, not 8.8

once again your getting paranoid & pulling at strings

For example.....in the award ceremonies or oscars, Titanic may have won by ONE VOTE back in 1999.....while LA confidential may have lost by 1 VOTE......so are we going to undermine Titanics oscar just because it won by 1 VOTE

no we'r not, just like a winner is a winner

a AAA game is an AAA game.....if you think 8.8 is a B game thats your problem.....not anyone elses, be it if its by 1 review that made it loose the AAA status

& stop saying I'm relying on artifiical numbers to rely on the quality of games, as if you have been reading my posts I have been saying use a variety of factors, unlike your awful advice of using HYPE + personal taste

stop whining.

EDIT: One more thing......as AJ_Habfan said

there WILL be a cutoff point.....for Med School admissions in UK, you need at least over 600 in the UKCAT, you get a 599, your not applicable to most uni's.....while if your friend got 600 he's applicable

deal with it, this is life

LOL im not whining...im really enjoying this debate on how ppl can use artificial numbers to the judge a game especially when theres really no difference in points, ur the only person gettin bent out shape here

@Xxain

you are whining, you are using the same beaten to death point & not taking any of our points in

+ the people your whining about are probably fanboys not worth whining about.

its lower by 0.2, there HAS to be some reason for that (be it 1 reviewer gave it a lower score, or maybe many reviewers gave it below 90)......whatever the reason, because of it, its not AAA, simple as that.

I cant acknowledge ur point intill u get my view..on the broke grading system..and the overall attachment to reviewers who have proven that other "facters" may go into there grading decision and Meta which is a collective opinions of these ppl..,im not whining, mad, i jus want to get into the head of a gamer that relies on these numbers to prove or decide something for them
