"bias"
isn't that the point of reviewing and giving opinions towards a game?
Gurren Lagann ost 💯🔥
Honestly I think reviewers should stick to specific genres. One reviewer only reviews shooters so they can tell if a game is a good shooter, another reviewer is all about puzzle games so they can tell if it's a good puzzle game.
Another issue with this whole thing is that the entire economic process of all of this tends to hinge on day 1 sales and player counts as well as pre-orders, when in reality it can take a month or more for players to really settle in, get good, learn all the nuances of the game and then finally have a matured perspective on the game that's accurate.
On top of this so many games are launching barely half finished as live services and the quality of the game at any point can fluctuate wildly. By the time the game's lifecycle comes to an end and all the bugs are patched out and it has enough content to sustain players for years the player count is petering out and support is getting dropped. So any review at one particular point in time is going to be irrelevant down the line.
Jesus have you even ever read a movie review from a moderately big press? The most commonly used scoring system for a movie review is a 4-star or 5-star system. NYT is a outliner as they stopped giving a review score completely sometime in the past, but every other major press doing a movie review I've read has a score. Not just a thumbs up or down.
Someone please tell me the guy at 16:08 🙏
Meanwhile metacritic user reviews:
"I love the bible but hate this game I don't like paul in the bible I hate racing and I hate paul" – Littlefelicity
"I" – SimonG
"THIS GAME IS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNREALISTIC HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RELATE TO LINK WHEN I LOOK NOTHING LIKE HIM??? ITS ALSO SUPER CONDESCENDING THAT LINK GETS TWO GIRLS TO LIKE HIM WHEN IN REALITY NO FEMALE HAS TALKED TO ME IN FOREVER 0/10" – Tywin
Oh what would we do without these oh so precious metacritic reviews
I stopped seeing reviews.
OPM (U.S. Official Playstation Monthly), any score for the PS1, I feel was very accurate. Did not matter who made the game, even a top notch publisher. If that particular game sucked, they let you know. It was strange sometimes to play a game demo, think it was the bees knees, read their review of the game in a later issue and think the reviewer had to make a mistake, because the demo was so good. Then actually buy the game and go… They were actually right. 😅
Reminds me of the GOD HAND IGN review lmao
TLDR: "game" journos are dying out, Steam wins again by doing nothing
2:53 heheh non binary
I will always say TLOU2 is a great game and it doesn't deserve the hate. What happened tp Joel is sad but its both necessary and realistic in that world. Plus I can feel empathy for Abby bc we forget how many Joel killed in TLOU1. This game shows us that even npc have lifes and ppl they care about, even normal enemies cry out the name of their dead comrades and swear vengance on you! Truly amazing but thats my opinion
The problem is that mainstream media is controlled by untalented people called, Leftists. All their judge is based if the product please their ideologies or not.
Games like Mass Effect legendary edition have a 68 on metacritic entirely because of the lack of Portuguese subtitles
What's funny is that Persona 4 Golden was shown multiple times having a high review. it's a 70 hour game, minimum. Only the story, and first-daying dungeons. Even i, when i play it again, usually take roughly a year to finish it. To be fair i play on the hardest difficult, but still.
My favourite games are Dwarf Fortress, OSRS and GW2.
I just don't like games 😔, every game that anyone else said "it's cool" I don't like.
If I would rank games from metacritic with ±9 rating, I wouldnt rate them any higher than 6.
It's just people, who don't understand the genre or don't care about story make bad reviews.
Titan fall 2 was made so dirty…. 😢
Oh its that valkrye girl of the nioh thing
Ign logo spotted, no further questions
Not mentioned here in the video, but yall remember the Sonic Unleashed IGN review? My god what a chaotic video.
Game journalist aren’t gamers their opinion is invalid thus I don’t use their ratings to make a choice on what I buy
