why are we now looking at AEs? is consistency not important? doesn't it look bad that what was once not factored in now factored in just because it's the only way to say that the 360 is still ahead of the ps3? you can't change the rules in the middle of a game.
No, cause I actually play games I enjoy, not games GS enjoyed.

Pretty much.
Gamespot scores don't matter to me at all when it comes to my platform of choice. Gamespot scores only matter when I'm trying to convey an opinion on System Wars, and want to use other opinions to back up my own, so as to demonstrate that I'm not alone on my opinions no matter how crazy they might be.
When it comes to my own gaming tastes I go for what interests me whether it be a 10, 7, or 3 rated game here on Gamespot.

Pretty much this...hell a few years ago you'd be laughed out of this place trying to convince another fanboy faction that AAE's were quality games. Good times.
lol after that thread it seems half the cows were saying that reviews and scores don't matter because they're just opinions, while the other half were saying that A games don't count because they're not as good.
you guys just keep contradicting yourselfs
Well, in all fairness the ps3 does have an AAAAE and the 360 don't.lol after that thread it seems half the cows were saying that reviews and scores don't matter because they're just opinions, while the other half were saying that A games don't count because they're not as good.

People don't play scores in the real world either. Play what you like regardless of what some web guy thinks.despite what sw would have you believe, people don't only play exclusives in the real world. didn't the charts show that the 360 has more high rated games and more variety than the ps3?

7.0 is not a high score.
No. I play the games I want to play, regardless of what system they're on.
But Stevo's thread did put things into perspective, at least in terms of System Wars politics and whatnot.
Well, in all fairness the ps3 does have an AAAAE and the 360 don't. MGS4 getting AAAAE was worse than PDZ getting AAAE (and I liked PDZ a lot). But most would argue that both games were undeserving of their scores because hype played a huge part for both games.[QUOTE="KarateeeChop"]

Still doesn't change the fact that MGS4 is AAAAE game, and that both the Wii and PS3 have AAAAE's ,while the 360 on the other hand doesn't ( not yet at least ).
*Huge thanks to Stevo_the_gamer for that gigantic well-made and detailed thread* As you now know, the Xbox 360 has more quality exclusives than the PS3 does because of its AEs. But does it matter to you System Wars? We all know that AEs are still good games. Yet some of us consider anything below AAAE or AAE not worth buying. Does the 360's quality exclusives list really outshine the PS3's because of its AEs? Are they non-existent in your eyes? Does the PS3's outshine the 360's? Does the 360's do better than the PS3's even without the AEs? Or is it too meager a difference? Tell us!BlabadonYour thread is invalid. Steveo changed his OP based on discussion in the thread. His data and graphs now show PS3 ahead in total A+ exclusives as well as AAE+.

In other words, the cows were relentless and steveo_the_gamer gave in to shut them up. Everyone knows that the Xbox 360 has more exclusives than the PS3. If you want discuss the gamespot reviews of those exclusives then fine but doesn't change the fact the 360 has larger variety of games.
Exactly, way to end the thread on some serious ownage there Casey.why are we now looking at AEs? is consistency not important? doesn't it look bad that what was once not factored in now factored in just because it's the only way to say that the 360 is still ahead of the ps3? you can't change the rules in the middle of a game.

But most would argue that both games were undeserving of their scores because hype played a huge part for both games. MGS4 Metacritic -- 94 PDZ Metacritic -- 81 MGS4 is much closer to the GS score as regarded by the gaming community than PDZ in Metacritic is to the GS score so I think GS overrated PDZ much more. IF you're going to compare MGS4 "overrateness" you should compare it to the likes of Halo games since the situations are much more similar.[QUOTE="KarateeeChop"]

Cows are just upset because they are losing the console war. I have no idea how someone could possibly believe being in last place somehowconstituteswinning. How can losing to both the Wii and 360 be winning? I can say that the 360 is losing to Wii. Cows can't say the same thing because in their minds they are beating the Wii.......

I agree with this guy. There's lots of games I enjoyed that GS didn't (Halo Wars lol) and vice versaNo, cause I actually play games I enjoy, not games GS enjoyed.

Pointing out games exclusives missing or multiplats counted as exclusives = cows being relentless? Seems like Steve missed some things unintentionally, they were pointed out, and he corrected himself. The alternative would be that he INTENTIONALLY left things out to make 360 look better, and that Cows hounded him relentlessly until he gave in to shut them up. I prefer to give him the benefit of the doubt and think it was the first.As for the rest of your post, everyone knows? I don't know that. Can you give me a link to accurate lists of exclusives to each system? We should probably make a whole thread about it, because there will be a lot of discussion needed to establish what games count as exclusives. Anyway, THIS thread, and Stevo's, are about AE+ games, so we are in fact talking about gamespot reviews, specifically, 7.0 and higher. And in that category, according to Stevo's thread, which the TC credits with the info this thread is based on, PS3 has not only more AAE+, but more total AE+ as well. So the question posed by this thread is invalid. Should be "360 has more exclusives rated 7.0-7.9, but PS3 has more rated 8.0 and above, as well as total rated 7.0 and above, so does it really matter if 360 has more between 7 and 7.9?"

Exclusives wise i would say 360 and PS3 are about even. It´s just about the genres you prefer, 360 has better shooters and racing games and PS3 better action adventure games and hack and slash games.
In my opinion, when you add multiplats, PC/360 games and live arcade games, 360 is the clear winner.
Honestly, it only really matters in the metagame, which I don't really care about. To me, metacritic paints a much more complete view of where the systems are.DarthBilf
Metacritic scores are loaded with exclusive reviewers, or random blogs, or w/e.
It'd be a much better idea to find a reviewer or two that you agree with, and judge the consoles based on the reviews they publish.
Yes it does, I need someone else to tell me which games are great, because my opinion and personal taste isn't as good as someone's else
No, as long as I'm enjoying the games I play on whatever platform I play them on, this doesn't matter me.
Is this some kind of damage control thread? lol, who cares, the best games this gen are multiplat anyway.-RocBoys9489-
I disagree. I think Halo: Reach and Halo 3 can be considered to be a few of the best games this gen and they aren't multiplat.
I suppose you meant "many of the best games this gen are multiplat anyway," right? :P
