No. My post is was about about how these games are reviewed/received period

The game is obviously an “industry darling” and reviews reflect that.

Not to say the at the game isn’t “good” but there’s some obvious industry forces in play that have contributed to its critical and therefore commercial success.
It's just a fukking good game.

TF. nikkas creating conspiracy theories for no reason.

“GOOD” games get scored ranging from 79to 99 metacritic.

The individual scores within that range have lots more to do with industry hype/hate fandom than they do with the specific quality of the games.

Naw you said lots more than “exclusives matter”

don’t run away from your own words now.


And even under the context of “exclusives matter”

Sonys games are not exclusive and they are not selling enough hardware/software to justify exclusive games.

Reality can sometimes be a hard pill to swallow:wow:
So I was right.

You saying the games aren't exclusive enough for you?

Exclusive is exclusive, timed or not.

The definition of exclusive doesn't change just cause you don't agree with it.

and this man has the gall to question someone else's "Reality"

They literally are not exclusive.

I’m not the one having problems with definitions here :mjlol:

Reviews are opinions

Human beings opinions are influenced by much more than objective quality.

It’s asinine to assume some humans opinions are immune to outside pressures just because some of them are aggregated on a website.
It's asinine to assume any game rated above a 79 is all due to hype and not the game itself.

What other platforms is Ghosts of Yotei releasing on Oct 2nd?
Again you goofys had to add the “timed” part for your current goalpost position.

If sony didn’t need other platforms to make their games worthwhile, they wouldn’t sell their games on other platforms.

Even when you set your goalposts at “day one exclusives” Sony is releasing very few of them.

It is still exclusive.

From Oct 2nd until it releases on another platform.

It's exclusive.

no matter what goalposts are there.

It's still exclusive.

I know it hurts.

but it's still exclusive.

be it one game or 11 games.

it's still exclusive.

Damn, your reading comprehension that bad? Or is it a symptom of stanning playstion.
:mjlol:

I didn’t say all games above 79 are due to hype.

I said the specific differences in scores for games above 79 are usually more about industry hype than any quantifiably objective measure.

Like the difference between two games scored 82 VS 88 is probably more about fandom of the game/genre/developer/hardware than an objective measure of quality.

It's so weird to me that ppl get borderline excited about the idea of a gaming industry crash.

And then ironically, those are the same types who don't buy/support anything, claim there aren't good games anymore, etc etc
I would love a proper gaming crash.

I'm also someone whose pretty active in buying games and such.

The industry has gotten too bloated for its own good

The industry correction will be the closure and consolidation of publishers and studios. Which I think is the real reason the Big 3 has no issues with riding this wave because it's not economically sustainable for them or their consumers.
