"Metacritic obsession is harmful to gaming"

[AkaDemiK]

Nobody said anything about the Order. The OP doesn't even care or ever stanned The Order

Stop assuming that this is what he's talking about. Dude's been saying this for the longest.

Regardless....the article has some relation to the order getting destroyed in reviews. The fukk boy that wrote that article prolly got a ps4 in his crib and had the order on preorder since te day it was announced, now he's mad at the gaming world because the game is ass. How about muhfukkas stop running to the defense of these mediocre game developers? How about calling out these companies and developers for not making good games? Why don't they write about that? Reviews have been used for decades now, they are necessary and i'm not just talking about video games. Should we remove reviews from amazon? The same reviews i've seen you brought up on here regarding other games. Should we ignore how much insight they may bring to someone looking to gain info before making a purchase? Should we not know how good that new TV is from people who purchased one before you? Should we not know how good that new drake album is before you hit buy in itunes?

Now let's not pretend like metacritic is being used by 50% or more of the gamers around the world. Only hardcore nikkas who do all that wild research shyt care about metacritic. If a nikka feels like a 70 rating or below isnt good enough for a purchase, that's their prerogative. If a nikka feels like the score doesnt matter, that's on them. It's a win/win and if the devs want to make as much money as possible...put out better products...it's that simple...now with that said

I saw none of you sony nikkas saying metacritic is terrible for gaming when Ryse got those mediocre reviews. I saw none of you sony nikkas saying metacritic shouldn't be the end all be all to judging a game when killer instinct got a 73 overall from all it's reviews combined. If reviews don't mean shyt....why in the fukk have you sony nikkas been posting scores since the inception of the coli and this sub-forum and are yall gonna stop doing so now?

So miss me with all this shyt....you want better reviews and publicity...make better games...otherwise enjoying getting torn apart in reviews and losing preorders.

yall can't be this fukkin nutso when it comes to stanning companies

whats harming innovation in gaming is corporate politics and bottom line, the same thing that hurts innovation in everything else. you cant put that on metacritic or reviews

I blame metacritic for 343's incompetence with the master chief collection. fukking reviewers giving all these good scores to the game made 343 not put too much effort into patches so far. These good reviews also led to the game selling a good amount so 343 probably felt accomplished, thus leading to these half-assed patches. You made all that money, why rush to fix it? fukk metacritic.....343 is still cool


how fukking stupid does that sound? you nikkas man...smh

I made it painfully obvious that it was a joke thread with the purposeful grammar and spelling mistakes, as well as the horrible points such as white people like Xbox More but somehow you think that was a thread made with serious intent?? I mean breh, from the way you see me post on here at times, how could you take a line such as

Metacritic is owned by white people I think so they like Xbox games more They even ignore problems on Xbox games like Ryse and Forza 5(You gotta buy cars with real money in that game my friend paid $25 to drive a Sports car) Metacritic is owned by white people I think so they like Xbox games more They even ignore problems on Xbox games like Ryse and Forza 5(You gotta buy cars with real money in that game my friend paid $25 to drive a Sports car)

PersonallyDriveclub and The Order are quite possibly the most finest experiences to be had on any entertainment medium in the last decade and if you haven't had the experience yet then sad to say you are indeed deficient in gaming nutrition Watch Halo 5 get 95 Metacritic and it won't even work :camb:y:

seriously??

Agreed.
I already made my point seriously in several threads: I use MC as a tool, not as the final say without ever touching a game. That's all.

Sarcasm was duly noted, but "How come Halo got an 85 and The Order a 65 I can at least play The Order guaranteed tomorrow while I can't play Halo at all" came from the heart. I'm responding to you, on one hand undermining metacritic, and on the other using their data to support your points. Sure you were trolling, but the underlying message was clear.

My exact point. How can you take reviewers seriously when they'll shyt on others games for being broken but give a complete pass to a game that is so broken they were going to release a beta of an already released retail game to try and fix issues still happening months later.

Name a Sony Exclsuive since TLOU that wasn't a disappointment.

GT6
Beyond 2 souls
GOW ascension
Killzone
Knack
Infamous
The Order
driveclub

All fukking trash. That's why y'all in here talking about getting rid of metacritic.

You use it when it fits your agenda.

In that one post you used it to prove certain games were good, then you turned around and said other games are good despite their low ratings.

That's total hypocrisy.

You are a clown

There's no shades of grey with you nikkas. Games aren't like frigging rap albums or movies in which they're pretty much teh same thing months down the line. I already stated why I think DC is good despite it's perception of it being a "trash" game as you like to call it. Several big changes came about in the past few months but all that is thrown out the window because "LOL it's a 71 it's BAD!". I play it, I think it's great.. end of story. "good" is a relative term so i don't know how it's hypocritical. I think Driveclub is "good" and I think FH2 is "good" but I don't think Dc is as good as FH2 overall. Stop being so extreme with your views. It's either GOTY/G or fukking trash to you nikkas.

You can take it however you want, I was making fun of certain stuff I read online and putting it here. T:O and Halo are completely different games and it's not like when one was reviewing the order they had Halo in mind and kept making comparisons and docking off points while using Halo as a benchmark. That's silly.

umm...mcc having technical issues =/= the order being a trash game...

There is no comparison here. Halo 1, 2, 3 and 4 were games with critical acclaim. The order is the complete opposite. There is no technical issues with the game, it's just trash.

Because other people do it?? You can't possibly think that posting review scores online to stan games isn't done by these Xbox fanboys breh. You can't be serious...

Xbots and Sony stans do the exact same shyt. I'll use w/e is dished out at me back at someone if we're having an debate about something. If scores are brought up, I'll bring up scores. It's not that complicated. You making it seem like there aren't people voicing their displeasure with certain titles because of what you see on here. Half the damn time I don't even post seriously on here since any thing that's said is automatically devolved into a "He's MAD LOL!" or "stop crying stop writing all that!". Why bother talking seriously?

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

But the technical issues DO affect the game, so how can you give that a pass while reviewing it?

Don't ask me...I ain't none of these review websites. However, I can bet money that a lot of these reviews are nostalgic because all of these games were on previous consoles. There isnt really anything new to review....scores won't change much. Now the technical issues should have been projected more in the reviews or maybe these reviews didnt really put too much into these issues because once again...nostalgia. Also, even if points would be deducted for the bugs, these are still critically acclaimed halo games.
