"Metacritic obsession is harmful to gaming"

[The G.O.D II]

@Fatboi1 already quoted some posts there for you but if want context click on the quotes and check that thread.

I listed mario 64 as a generational defining game and dude swears up and down it wasnt.

Which again,if you were like 16 I can understand but if you were there theres literally no way you can deny mario 64s impact on the gaming industry. 3D camera and controls were revolutionized by mario 64. His quotes are wild in there.

Ever since we laughed him out of that thread hes been extremely angry and bitter even making threads about me and shyt.

I mean shyt he coud have just dropped it and we coud keep it moving. @Ciggavelli and I get into it all the time about metacritic but we still just keep it moving and theres no anger there. We just disagree on metacritic and its negative effect on the industry.

Why don't you explain the real story? You literally stalked my rep box and threads after I shytted on 64 along with LBP(which none of you play like I predicted) and how xbox exclusives were so far better this gen. I only made one thread asking you to remove yourself off my dikk with the way you were harassing me

No I am not, I`m saying you can't experience every piece of entertainment, people simply do not have the time or money for that.

Therefor people use sites like those to determine whether it's worth experiencing in the first place.

In your statement you just assume everyone can experience everything and there aren't limitations to the amount we can take in.

Researching a product before you but it is smart.

And you're saying "make the decision yourself" but what is that decision based off of? A commercial? An article? A youtube video?

Making decisions based off of user feedback is probably the smartest way you could make that decision.

Oh and on Metacritic the game scores even lower with the general pubic reviews

who said anything about experience every piece of entertainment?...I just said experience what you want....

i'm saying base the decisions off your preferences, things that get you excited/hyped, shyt that you like, that you want to try....lol at you comparing a commercial to reviews....one is to inform you of the product, one is someone telling you what they think of the product, completely different...

lol no it's not...we're talking about video games....you either wanna play them or not....

ok, and?....that still wont determine if I play something or not...I only play games for me, like others only play for themselves...what I like/don't like doesn't apply to everyone, and vice versa...so i'm not gonna let others determine what I play...

I've been enjoying my PS4 since day one, but that last part of your post is 100% true. I enjoy games, not consoles. If a game is whack, then it's whack. I could care less if it's on my preferred system or not.

I'm seeing it too.

You
You're bugging right now breh. Ain't like games are free and we can just choose to play them at will. They cost money. People don't like to waste money, so they look at reviews. Sure the score at the end of the review is not the end all be all. But if a review describes a game that you know you wouldn't like, then you'd be an idiot to blindly go pick if up.

In reality people are just taking this stance now after several high profile games have bombed in reviews. I think it's a good thing that reviewers are being more critical of the games instead of just handing out high scores like they used to.

again: who said anything about playing ALL games?...I said play what you want, that doesn't mean play everything...I don't know about you or the other cat, but I don't want to play all games, I only play what interests me....which goes exactly with what you said: if you know you wouldn't like a type of game, why are you using the reviews as the reason you don't wanna play it?...you didn't want to play it from the beginning, so dont pretend you did and the reviews just happen to change your mind..(and i'm not saying you as you, but in general)

I can only speak for myself: I've said plenty of times on here i dont fukk with reviews cause I only play games for me....i'm determine if a game is good/bad for myself....there's been games I've enjoyed that got good scores, and some that got bad scores....there's been games that i didnt enjoy that got good scores and some that got bad scores....

And by "shytted on" you mean exposed you're an idiot.

 

[Animal House]

I usually tend to read a few reviews from websites and some user feedback, then comes the most critical aspect for deciding on games... The gameplay, I'll watch u a lot of videos to see what exactly am I getting.

I like how you ignored the other points. But hold on to those talking points and cook

I like how you ignore the fact that you failed to mentioned you searched my name found any threads made about me,threads I didn't even know existed,searched through my post history for any personal information I've shared because you're so we exposed you several times for being an idiot and that you negged me just as many times matter of fact post those threads I "stalked" you in of yours. Theres only one of us digging through the others post history, making a thread and searching the others name to try to unbury yourself of the stench of a being a shytty poster.

I don't even care enough to search through your post history, I just like making you because of your stupidity.

But yeah tell us more how Mario 64 was a tech demo,that Mario kart 64 had a bigger impact on the industry and that its not a top 5 Mario game

And no I wont stop bringing it up and linking people to the thread,because it was literally one of the dumbest series of posts I've read in the history of the site.


oh and heres another neg

So much fury and more lies as usual. Crackbabies:lmfao:

I never said Mario wasn't influential. It was. But its overstated. You just said other titles were in development similar to it. Mario 64 just dropped first. Its overrated and doesn't hold up well. The sunshine statement was from a technical standpoint. The issues from the past game was fixed in terms of controls, camera angles, etc

We can agree to disagree on your perception of what was happening back then....but it's just your perception.

And the games....and I use the term "games" loosely, because there was only maybe 1-2 other games in existence that were doing anything remotely like "Mario 64"....anyway, the games were at the fore-front of 3D gaming. It was uncharted territory on consoles....so to say "well, the 'Mario 64' influence is over stated" because there was 1...maybe 2....other games in the entire history of gaming to attempt what they were doing, is flat out

That's like saying NWA's influence is overstated because there was other gangster rappers out around the same time. It's nonsense.

Breh don't take his word for it just take the 5-10 minutes to read the thread its a pretty damn small thread anyway.

http://www.thecoli.com/threads/this...iple-a-generation-defining-game.258213/page-3
hell just read 2-3 pages.

Its some of the dumbest shyt Ive read in the entire forum and every single person is giving him the but he wont back down from the idiocy.

He can just admit hes like 18 and wasn't there to experience what it was like when Mario 64 dropped.

and @Liquid I had no idea he said Dx was better than NWO makes sense for an idiot and a trash poster like him though. DX was better if you liked long haired white guys being homo erotic with eachother dx was just a homoerotic low tier version of nwo

Metacritic doesn't deter me from purchasing a game.
It's but one component of a larger picture that I analyse to determine whether or not a game is worth it and if so, how much I'm willing to pay for it.
Alien was my GOTY last year and it's at a 79.
With all the devices and tech we currently have, it's easier than ever to decide whether or not a game is worth your time.
Gamesharing. Youtube. RedBox. Gamefly.
I always watch a few minutes of gameplay and then check reviews.
May even ask guys here their opinion.
Get the good & the bad, and then go from there.
Hasn't failed me yet and I've only made one purchase this gen that I've regretted, and that was a remastered title made decades ago that I bit on out of an impulse.

Metacritic has too much power over people. If you don't play games if they don't reach some random number on metacritic that's just fukking silly.

Nothing wrong with reading a few reviews. But to let it predetermine your taste is just

@The G.O.D II

In that other thread you said you're 26, meaning you were 8 years old when "Mario 64" came out.

In other words you weren't even old enough to have any first hand knowledge of it's impact, influence, or any aspect of it's history.

So....what are you doing man? This isn't an argument you can win. It's basically impossible.

Release trash games and complain about metacritic after your sales took a hit in early 2015 brehs.
