Everyone throws around scores to brag....I stated this clearly in my post...we've been using scores since forever. However, I havent seen one xbox fan on here go this hard over reviews like you nikkas...not one...I have not seen any threads made by xbox fans saying "don't trust reviews"...

this is my point...u sony nikkas are going way too hard because the exclusives yall hyped up like crazy fell flat...insecurity is a muthafukka
The fukk?

The order thread is encroaching on passing the halo thread and will be bigger than any single xbox one game thread.


The thread is like 75% posts by xbox stans that havent even played the game.

THE GAME JUST CAME TODAY.

When driveclub came out a review thread was made by an xbox stan.

Xbots took bungie making a game on ps4 as an insult and the destiny review thread was again like 75% xbots delighted it had middling reviews.

But then making threads like "i dont understand why ryse isnt reviewed as well uncharted."


Yall xbots are OBSESSED. Maybe you should play games yourselves instead of letting other people decide your tastes.

look...the pot calling the kettle black. The only reason i'm posting in this thread and the order thread to try and understand why the fukk are yall losing yall minds so much over this. Also, I don't care bout none of you nikkas gaming habits....not in the least. I've never made a thread to clown sony or any game they made, that's not my steez. I have clowned you nikkas and some of yall games, but beyond that what you eat don't make me shyt. I'll never sit in front of my computer for hours on end trying to argue which company is better, I don't care for none of that...I have an xbox one, a 360, ps3 and a wii....yall can have that fan boy shyt, just let me enjoy the games I choose to play.

Anyone that was mad at bungie for making a multiplat game needs to put the controller down for a minute and go do something else. That's some retarded shyt and I havent really seen anyone like that on here...I have seen it on IGN comments tho and it makes me smh.

nikkas on both sides of the fan boy spectrum have commented, trolled and made threads for games they don't own or played on here before....this is nothing new and it won't stop now. I don't think shyt like that is a big deal....it can be funny at times, but to start feeling like their is some agenda or t put blame on reviewers instead of the company yall stan so much is fukking retarded.

I'm not defending anything. I'm simply saying those threads compared to this one has a bit of a different agenda. nikkas are starting to blame reviews instead of the companies that sell poorly made games....this is pure madness...

and no need to quote more threads...I get what you're saying...

:snoop:

This is so misguided. It's like saying we shouldn't grade students because it's harmful to them. GPA is harmful as fukk because it's an average of your grades. It makes you lazy, because it only benefits people who study. :camby:

Absolutely ridiculous to blame metacritic for the state of gaming. fukking ridiculous. :camby:

I'm gonna go in more when I'm on lunch.

LMAO. both sides do the same things tho, its actually hilarious.

"RYSE SUCKS! ITs got a 57 on Metacritic :uFurious: :umad:. Larry box done in a few years"

"I enjoyed RYSE, I don't let reviews control me, besides we knew this was gonna be more of a gfx show off anyway for the GOATBOXWUN"

"The order sucks, :wow: Starvestation 4, the famine continues :umad:"

"Im just copping the order to admire the gfx, reviews don't matter, besides we know sony cooking up that piff next month for GOATSTATION4"

:sas2:


I know Fatboi does it on purpose, pretty sure meach does to. Not sure about based prime, that African just crazy.

I pray this is all one big satire :lupe:

I can understand different tastes, usually games can range from like a 10-7 with that. However, as a person that has said that reviews don't factor into my decision, seeing 4's and other scores makes me wonder what the hell really happened with this game. It was almost as if they waited for the embargo to lift and a constant stream of reviewers playing Hit Em Up hit the net. Conversely, you know a game is good like Forza Horizon when they allow you to review the game two WEEKS before the game drops and to publish your review. Developers and publishers should also be honest about the shyt they put out and not hide features and such.

For what Ryse is, it's bland as a style of game, though I enjoyed the story. When you make a game like that, Ninja Gaiden, DMC and God of War is forever your competition and it should be compared to that, the battle system simply isn't that satisfying. So, as far as gameplay, I can understand shytting on it though it is serviceable. I got hooked on the story. Besides, we expect that type of stuff from most launch games.

The obsession around Metacritic is damaging to video games.

It ain't hurting video games, it's hurting video game companies.

Fans get to research products before buying them, this is great for the consumer.

I made a thread about this with embargoed reviews and how that's bad for the consumer, The Order seems like they needed this embargo badly, and yet they didn't have one.

The answer is quite simple

MAKE BETTER GAMES

The premise of this article doesn't even make sense. Some of the biggest risk taking games get great scores (look at all of those indies in the 80s and 90s) and look at all those annual games that score poorly (cod: ghosts, ac:unity). These devs are just mad because they made bad games. Games get what they should get. 80 fukking people telling you your game is trash says something. It's not the reviewers' faults that you made a bad game. Come on. This is absurd.

Exactly.

These sites are great for gamers and might actually turn people onto something new and different.

Game companies mad because these big titles get panned then no one spends 65 plus a season pass on their shyt.
