The obsession around Metacritic is damaging to video games.
That’s the warning from UK developers, speaking as Eurogamer announces it is culling scores from its reviews.
Metacritic - which pulls together review scores from various websites to come up with one ultimate rating - is used as the primary measurement of quality in the games industry. Developer bonuses are sometimes linked to their Metacritic average, while game sales and share prices can fluctuate based on these scores.
“The problem is how parts of the games industry and audience treat Metacritic,” Eurogamer editor Oli Welsh told MCV.
“The idea that a game isn’t worth buying, or that its developers have failed and don’t deserve bonuses if it scores under 80 or even 85 on Metacritic, is going to result in samey, bland games that are made according to what works in Metacritic’s system. It’s harming innovation in mainstream gaming.”
Bossa Studios co-founder Imre Jele added: “I understand the desire to simplify complex matters into easy to understand patterns. But ultimately I believe review scores are a bane to the games industry.”
Frontier Developments’ David Braben feels that consumers are missing out by just looking at the number: “There are so many factors that go into reviews it doesn’t make sense. Some people use the score as a quick shorthand, but there is so much missing.”
But not everyone believes Metacritic still holds the sway it once had.
“What matters most to us is the response of players and how social media spreads the word about good, playable games,” said Rebellion founder Jason Kingsley.
Welsh added: “The most creative, influential and best-selling game of the last decade, Minecraft, was a massive hit before it ever had a Metascore.”
Couldn't agree more with the bolded. AAA gaming has been stale as fukk for the last 2 years or so.
The obsession with metacritic is such a simplistic view on something extremely subjective.
Its resulted in studios taking very few risks and innovation is at a stand still. Why take any risks when you can pump out fary cry 9, assassins creed:shadow of mordor edition and cod 38 and get a safe score.
same shyt about to happen to video games as rap.... i think our golden age was n64, ps2, xbox 360 eras... after that... now it's all about the budget, your album/game sales, how many mics/metas you get, and how much you can sell merch/dlc... lets add in payola for spins/reviews and now the underground/indy game movement... yea.... this is gonna get bad

funny how this shyt comes up when it doesn't fit a positive Sony narrative
Agreed.
I think dreamcast/ps2/xbox/gamecube was the golden era, the greatest gen. I loved each of those system. All four had great, varied exclusives filled with innovation and every genre was well represented.
Innovation is at a stand still. Nintendo is nintendo, consistent and quality games.
Both sony and microsoft need to step it and take risks.
2015 looks boring. Another uncharted. Another halo. Yawn.
Starting from 2013:
Ni no kuni
Sly 4
Dragons crown
Gran turismo 6
Puppeteer
Infamous second son
Guilty gear xrd sign

All 80+ scoring games.
If those games are fukking trash then it stands that forza 5, killer instinct and sunset overdrive are trash as well. Infamous 80 and sunset 81 but one is trash?? Smh. GT6 was better rated than forza but let's switch it up though. Driveclub ain't trash either. Your boy @BasedPrime even saw it was hot.
He's been angry ever since we laughed him out of the thread when he said mario 64 was a tech demo and that mario fans prefer super mario sunshine
How many times are you going to misconstrue my post? If anything you are the one thats angry. A nikka dont even acknowledge you but you've literally been on my dikk since that thread
If anything, its the pussified PC generation that love metacritic and shyt like that.
It makes it easy on them instead of actually trying something themself and forming their own opinion.
When I was a kid everyone would get different games and everybody would lend them to eachother so we could try it ourselves. We'd discuss the games and argue. We'd never all agree. Funny thing is most of us are still close and still do the same and lend eachother games after we're done. Maybe some of you don't have a friends
Just thinking about how absurd it is to go to a site look at a number and let that number dictate what it is you do is just

We're clowning metacritic and then quoting them to defend our points?We gotta stop taking these reviews as gospel.
How do you make a thread called:
We need to stop listening to Metacritic brehs.
and then call them in for support ?
