Yeah I agree that it is all about them having so many resources. These are the "let's see what a million dollars per scene looks like" type of entertainment. They are blockbusters and crowd pleasers.
Yeah no. We have metacritic threads for popcorn and drama... not for any actual accolades, wagers, or bonuses. Superficial bragging rights at most. In that regard, the actual score is meaningless. Any member who tries to seriously argue a game's worth or comparative quality based on a meta score is laughed at. We're better than much of the gaming internet in that regard.
There's pretty much no way CP2077 could be in such a state, unless we've been looking at vertical slices.
I'm surprised no one bothered to discuss this point (apologies if I missed this). Here's the full question that was asked:
that's true. These days, you're either a 90, or not worth the money
I do agree that I don't find them the best metric for a game's worth. For the average gamer, I still feel that they are the easiest and quickest metric to consume (they were for me, for a long time). Personally, I prefer the OT threads here, Reddit impressions, and YouTube videos.
Yeah scores have no uniform scale across how everyone thinks of a games score unless the game is universally good or universally bad everything else kind of gets way harshly treated with number scores.
Yup. Gamers, including the gamers on this forum, are constantly treating metascores as if they are a huge deal. Metacritic compiles data and makes it available for public viewing. That is not a problem. Gamers are the problem.
Studios would still evaluate reviews even if they did not have scores.
Yeah absolutely it would be evaluated without scores. It's part of the post mortem process.
Wanting a better Metacritic score is literally the same thing as wanting the game to be better.
I think you're missing the point of my posts but I'm not gonna spend more time here to argue that.
I'm not intending to be antagonistic to you personally. The "scores are bad" thing comes from all sorts of people here and it is tiring. Human nature is to sort. We'll never stop ranking things. Whether Metacritic does it or a different site (such as ResetERA!) does it.
At this point, a lot of folks view this game as a GTA-like game. Or a GTA-killer. I realize it is an rpg, and has rpg systems. But I've seen a lot of folks, outside and on the internet mention how they want this as their gta experience. A new game where you roam, get missions and do stuff. It just so happens that you have dialogue choices here and some enemies will be sponges because they are "leveled" higher than you. I don't see it selling bad at all. Like, it will sell into 10 million I think. sometimes soon.
Maybe he's not on the same forum. People get banned almost every big game review thread
Remember though that metacritic only matters when people like the game.
How could I have forgotten :P
