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.

I'm not saying it's aliens, but...

Anyways. You do seem to forget that this is a meta GAME. Its not meant to be taken seriously. Using Metacritic would kill the instant fun of ownage and flops. You may not realize it, but this is not a real war. :o This is a place were people come to burn time and laugh at fanboys like yourself.

I find it funny that you often try insulting others by calling them 12 year olds, but here you are (again) treating this board and its policies like some major sh*t.

Best post in the thread.

Well...erm...second best. After Freedomfreak's. :P

It will take away the fun of instant ownage and flops and replace it with the superior extra fun of flops and ownage suddenly changing. An instant of fun vs months of fun! basically anyone who chooses gs is no fun.

I think there's a big flaw in that idea.

If I were to trust Gamespot I wouldn't care what score they put out. If the Metacritic average was a 46, and Gamespot gave the game a 10/10, and I trust Gamespot's opinion, then I'd go with Gamespot.

If I use Metacritic at all it's to read a handful of other reviews. I'm not silly enough to think the number next to a game's name on Metacritic means anything much. Why would I care about the average of scores from reviewers I don't trust?

"100 reviewers I've never heard of gave this game a 4/10, but this one reviewer that I've trusted for the last 5 years, and has helped me discover dozens of awesome games, gave it a 9/10, so I guess I'm going to take the word of all the reviewers I've never heard of" :roll:

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"] No. More reviews ALWAYS make the accuracy of the critical integrity of a game go up. Doesn't matter if one has more then the other, it's always better then only one review. ALWAYS more accurate, more educated opinions are ALWAYS better then a single educated opinion. Eddie-Vedder
so you are saying that The average rating for a game is less accurate if it has less Reviews,that in itself makes it Flawed does it not?

Is my argument realy that complex? More educated opinions > A single educated opinion. Imagine you're given an option to buy a new game, you have 2 choices, know NOTHING about them, and have a group of professional reviewers who will revew the game for you and get back to you with a score. On one hand you have a single reviewer that will review both games, on the other hand you have a group of 50 professional reviewers that will review both games. Who's input would you value more? The average of the 50 professional critics, or the single critic. The only reason people are arguing for Gamespot is because we are on Gamespot, if this was some neutral forum with no ties to any review site do you really think they'd be using Gamespot over Metacritic?

its still dumb to average a score. If metecritic was just a site with a list of sites that show thier opinoins then that would be fine. Also I hate the term professional reviewer. Only thing that makes them professional is they get paid for an opinion and we dont.

You expect a forum that has the attention span of a 2 year old to actually be all that into flops/ownage that take a few weeks or month to develop? It adds nothing to the board. It neither makes the stupid metagame fun(which frankly lost its luster years ago), and it doesn't exactly inspire better conversation/debate about the merits of a game.

Metacritic is far worse than Gamespot when it comes down to trustworthyness of reviews. You know what to expect with GS reviews. Metacritic is just an aggregate site that pools together all reviews from basically any website and this includes trolls. Since there are no basic standards for reviews, a 7/10 on one site might be a 9/10 on another. MC doesn't care about such a major problem since their only job is to get an average number out of 100. Metacritic is awful and is bad for gaming. Cows, lemmings, hermits or any other fanboy group should never promote Metacriitic for the sake of gaming and it's future. You already have moron publishers requiring certain metacritic scores which determine success or failure. That is lazy and bad for game development.

[QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"]

[QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"] Right but the results, I just checked for the PS3 for example and the games are still almost identically listed. So I doubt that's really that big of a game changer. But for the record Gamerankings is also still way better then any single site, maybe even better then Metacritic. Eddie-Vedder

Borderlands 2 PC = 89 with 36 reviews

Torchlight 2 = 88 with 65 reviews

You don't see the problem in that?

Of course not, what problem do you see? You find MORE educated opinions a negative? That's like saying you wouldn't want more scientists to get involved in a project.. It doesn't matter if one game has 10 educated opinions and another has 100, either one is better then having a single educated opinion. Game reviews aren't ALL opinion, there is some science in there too, and people do overrate and over hype and simply make mistakes. The more reviews the more accurate the critical integrity of a game will be.

see? why metacritic is not good.

Borderlands 2 PC = 89

Borderlands 2 ps3 = 91

the one is AAA game and the other AA, crazy ah?

Yeah, it's flawed. One version might get more/different reviews than the other and when the game doesn't have that many reviews it can manke a significant different even though the two versions are identical. FOr example, despite the fact that on accounts from various sources that the 360 version of Zone of the Enders HD Collection runs better the PS3 version has a higher average on Meta critic. That version got more reviews and a some very positive ones from publications that only do PS3 reviews.

[QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"] Of course not, what problem do you see? You find MORE educated opinions a negative? That's like saying you wouldn't want more scientists to get involved in a project.. It doesn't matter if one game has 10 educated opinions and another has 100, either one is better then having a single educated opinion. Game reviews aren't ALL opinion, there is some science in there too, and people do overrate and over hype and simply make mistakes. The more reviews the more accurate the critical integrity of a game will be. vashkey

see? why metacritic is not good.

Borderlands 2 PC = 89

Borderlands 2 ps3 = 91

the one is AAA game and the other AA, crazy ah?

Yeah, it's flawed. One version might get more/different reviews than the other and when the game doesn't have that many reviews it can manke a significant different even though the two versions are identical. FOr example, despite the fact that on accounts from various sources that the 360 version of Zone of the Enders HD Collection runs better the PS3 version has a higher average on Meta critic. That version got more reviews and a some very positive ones from publications that only do PS3 reviews.

exacly this is the problem that metacritic consist from different/more peopel with different scoring system. but with GS they use the same scoring system.

howeverthe two versions are not identical. I played Borderlands 2 with 2560x1400, 60fps, max settings, large fov, k/m, etc and ps3 barely do 1280x720, no AA, 30fps, low settings, small fov, controller, etc.
