Let's get something straight SW. Metacritic is WAY more important then Gamespot.

When it comes to measuring a games critical success.

No. I'm not saying the metagame needs to use Metacritic, even though it should I get the whole we're on Gamespot thing.

However, nooblets that brush off Metacritic as if it were less worthy then a Gamespot review :lol: The ignorance is mind boggling.

FACT. Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and EVERY SINGLE Dev and Publisher in this industry use Metacritic as a gauge to measure a games critical success.

FACT. Metacritic is just a collection of opinions, although it's a collection of educated opinions, and 100 educated opinions >>>>>>>> 1 educated opinion.

Yes Metacritic isn't perfect, but it's WAAAAAAY closer to perfection then Gamespot is, or any other single website.

Simple question, imagine a game you're hyping is released.

2 Scenarios.

1. It flops hard on Gamespot, but scores AMAZING on Metacritic.

2. It flops hard on Metacritic, but scores AMAZING on Gamespot.

Which review source do you think people will trust more? Gamers, Industry insiders, devs, etc, everyone in general?

You know it's bad when you make Zeviander use terms like "butthurt" :P

Now, I'd say this thread is the rock bottom, but my SW experience taught me cows can't reach it. They always keep digging... deeper and deeper...

I trust Gamerankings the most. Metacritic does this weird thing where they consider some site's scores are worth more than other site's scores.

Looks like gamespot won case closed.

No, MC doesn't include everyone for every review. Every game has a different number of critic reviews which makes it inconsistent

Just because the industry often uses MC doesn't make it's flaws and inconsistancies any less obvious...

Time to stop now, Eddie, you've lost...

Only superior men use metacritic let gs for the filthy unworthy.kuraimen

Some only people with high IQ's and that are strong are allowed to use metacritc.Metacritc is a terrible site.

Borderlands 2 PC = 89 with 36 reviews

Torchlight 2 = 88 with 65 reviews

You don't see the problem in that?
