Metacritic was just different then. Review scores were generally inflated. Any high profile game was guaranteed at least an 8.The list is very short of general consensus top tier games that lived up to expectations. From there you start getting into games that are very flawed but because they're associated with a certain brand people downplay the flaws or stuff can be enjoyed on some level but you have to accept it's flaws to even enjoy it.

There are a lot of old and cross generation games on that list. In the top 10 games there are only 3 for just this console generation only.
Best Xbox One Video Games of All Time
The Xbox One top 10 is worse. By the time you've hit number 5 you've fell out of the 90s. And their whole top 10 has one exclusive in it and it's an indie title.
Go back and look at the last generation and you're 50-55 games in before you're falling out of the 90s.

Best Xbox 360 Video Games of All Time
On PS4 you reach 16 games and on Xbox One after 5 you're in the 80s.
This generation isn't meeting the standards of the previous one. Not even close.
And my comment was not about ratings of the games or overall quality. My comment and this thread are about the outright lies and misleading things devs have said to promote the games.
Not interested in discussing people's opinions of the games. People like/dislike stuff for whatever reason. I'm talking about shyt like the No Mans Sky devs talking about how their game will have multiplayer, and then the game releasing with no multiplayer at all.
