Microsoft Still doesn't have a 90+ exclusive on metacritic

Ah Legend's playing Metacritic again (its his favourite current gen game) I see you've learnt your lesson by not using user scores this time, slow clap.

Lets us never forget this epic Metacritic thread he made, read it if you want a good laugh.

http://www.gamespot.com/forums/system-wars-314159282/generally-are-xbox-exclusives-less-enjoyable-33102897/

I would take Forza Horizon 2 over any of the other games you mentioned because it's in the genre I love, that's the part you cant get your tiny brain around. Gamers play games, people like you play Metacritic. The XB1 doesn't need a game that rates above 90, the XB1 just needs games that people will enjoy, and it does.

Poor Legend, cant stop the XB1 hate campaign, have fun with that.

Doesn't matter, it's sub 90

The new rules are far better at illustrating Legend's point. They just... don't make any of the consoles come off well lol

@Legend002: Why is it so important to you? Do you need metacritic to tell you whether a game is good or are you capable of forming an opinion on your own?

@Legend002: Nooo, i forgot it didnt get 90+.

@suicidesn0wman: No. It's an interesting observation though. Coincidentally enough, I played all of the "big" Xbone exclusives and they indeed are rated the way they were for a reason.

I don't see what's wrong with making an observation of this nature in the systemwars forum?

I agree, i think the point is pretty clear now. At least having the other games gave hope for a brighter day.

Topic title never change. New rules are more in line with the original topic at hand.

Never said the topic title changed lol. Just said the rules changed, and they make the point better :p

I also think they make each console come off bad, just one console comes off even worse

@charizard1605: New changes help this thread stay on topic.

"Microsoft Still doesn't have a 90+ exclusive on metacritic"

Bro: But how about this game that's rated 80?!

^See the issue?

@Legend002: Yup, in the end, listing the other games distracted from the core point.

Let's clarify this. Just because the MetaCritic average doesn't equal 90+, does not mean there aren't any sources that gave Microsoft exclusive games 90+ scores. I guarantee you if you eliminate sources that only review a specific console, PlayStation Magazine that only review PlayStation games which could also favor the score, and then find sources that reviews games from every system, have the same amount of reviews and then add up the averages, I guarantee you with an even no bias landscape, the averages for games for each system will be closer than you think.

A perfect way to expose how flawed using the averages from MetaCritic is to compare games that are on multiple platforms. Let's take the recent MetaCritic averages for the recent Doom game for example. The PS4 version is at 84, the PC version is also at 84, while the Xbox One version dominates them both by being at 87. So I guess that means Xbox One have the best version of Doom then huh. No, it just shows you how flawed using MetaCritic is when comparing games because the number of reviewers will sway the averages. That's why playing the SW metagame which uses only GS reviews that reviews every system was more fun than using MC. There's a reason why cows cried and helped killed the SW metagame because it exposes that they have the most flops. Now you know.

This. PC multiplats are a majority of the time a few points lower average on MC, although most of those are better on PC.

Due to ridiculous padding, MC is best used for a general overview rather than getting into specifics.

Because you still have to choose between the Xbox One and the Ps4 to play those multiplats.

why so much salt?

PC version of VC isn't remastered because it doesn't say remastered, but it's the exact same game as the ps4 "remastered" version, so it's now a true ps4 exclusive? damn

It barely has games and you want to see 90+ on meta? That's not happening this gen. If it had 90's, people would be buying the actual console.

Perhaps, but it has more exclusives, and most of those are 80+.

Thats the problem i have on here people seem to forget that gamers can be Genre specific.

i said the other day that i will play UC4 but i pretty much guarantee i will still prefer the Witcher 3 an i was flamed Stupid for apparently even thinking the witcher 3 could be the better game.

WRPG's/Dungeon crawlers/Sandbox games are by Far my favorite genres so i will obviously enjoy a good WRPG over a TPS, TPS actually come quite far down on my list of favorite genres.

It's the same with Graphics, the witcher 3 will always look better to me than Uncharted 4 because of the art style and sheer scale and draw distance.

As they say 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'

One mans junk is another mans gold.

They spend all day arguing which is the best when it really is a Subjective opinion heavily reliant on personal preference.

Will probably never have any too, all things considered.

They let their best studio leave already. They shouldnt have forced them to make Halo games

The difference between MS and Sony first party studio Management is undeniable

MGS4 landed on June 2008.

The PS3 was 20 months old not even 2 full years,let alone 3 if funny how always when you cheer for the xbox one you tend to do this pathetic post with wrong information on purpose to downplay the PS and defend the xbox,is it that hard to look for MSG4 release date.? You just open google type MGS4 and 1 second latter there you have it the launch you don't even need to click a link to find out.

From where i come from 2 is better than non,and several of those great games you claim the xbox one has are also on PC,so should we erase them like you just did with TLOU because that would make the xbox one line up even more pathetic.

MS has non maybe next gen MS will deliver one.

Just goes to show ya the SmearCampaign is real.

There's no game on any system especially at launch in it's genre that can touch Forza Horizon 2. The Smear is real.

@trollhunter2: Now there getting there flagship games made shitty no dev teams. If gears 4 is anything to go by.

MS has let the XBox gamer down from the start of this gen, and likely all the way to the finish. At least the PS3 had some legit games by it's third year. Xbox is just spinning in place and it's requisite cult is trying to sell us on the idea that they are happy with it.

Guess none of the games can be fun if a bunch of people other than me did not rate it high enough.

Doesn't matter, scores don't make a game great so having someone say a game is a 9 means nothing to me, it's his opinion against mine. By the way, didn't you buy 3 xbox ones lol so why does it even matter to you?

So you answer hes post with one even dumber,since what appeal to you is important only to you,this is a pathetic trending of lemmings this gen,some how scores don't matter any more is only their opinion,so some one make a thread using scores and their bring their opinion as if that was something that would disprove TC post.

Funny that you say that you take Forza Horizon 2 over any other game mention,Forza Horizon 2 was on 360 and XBO and still could not freaking chart in NPD,that hard it bomb.

Yes it does just like the PS3 need them last gen,when the xbox 360 was getting 9 games every where and the PS3 wasn't and lemmings could not stop throwing the scores around.

Remember how the mantra around the PS3 was the PS3 has no games.? How many years lemmings pretended the PS3 had nothing even that it got its first 90+ exclusive 20 months after launch,the xbox one still hasn't get one and is 30 months old.

This ^^ is pathetic as expected. There are tons of sites that review xbox games only and would favor the xbox in the same way.

NO what that mean is that XBOX Magazines or sites over scored the game or count toward the XBO version but not toward PC and PS4.

NO 100 reviews >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1.

This is a fact so while you hide on that scenario i can hide on the fact that this site rated Halo 5 8,while rated Assassin Creed Syndicate a 9,or how the score TLOU 8 and the same exact reviewer rated Beyond 2 souls a 9.

So 1 source scores are even worse,fact is people know already that there is already a variation in scores from version to version to do the fact of some sources not reviewing the same copy,there are also a ton of PC sites only that don't review console version,and there are sites that give 1 score to all versions.

Basically what you are trying to do is hide behind gamespot which had scored some xbox games with a 9,like Forza 5 which has 79 on meta way below gamespot score.

Xbox One has Titanfall and Sunset Overdrive, you can consider those equals since Nintendo and Sony gets 10+ handicap on all their reviews.

A lot of their high profile games are multiplayer focused and these days those kind of games rarely get over 90+ metacritic. Important thing is I'm very happy with the games, for me Halo 5 online is a 10/10 experience and provides tons of replay value over 150 hours clocked and many more to come I'm sure.

I've been here for a little over a year and you're trying to talk to me about shit that happened years ago on here WTF, its no wonder they called you tormented. You need to take a break, you know go outside for some fresh air, you're fucking losing it man.

This made me laugh out loud.

@Shewgenja: I've had an X1 since launch and I'm happy with it, much happier than the PS4. I got to play Dead Rising 3, and Killer Instinct right from the start. Then a few months later we got Titanfall and PvZ:GW which didn't come out on PS4 until months later. Then later that year we got Sunset Overdrive, FH2, and Halo the MCC, Microsoft was also updating KI and the console with great features and updates, then in 2015 it got Rare Replay, Halo 5, Gears, and RotTR. Again MS was giving great updates to the Xbox, and at this time it was the only way to play KI and Gears. 2016 been a bit lacking but still doing good with QB, Superhot, KI season 3, and Oxenfree. In fact 2016 is the first time the PS4 got an exclusive I care about ( outside of a few Indies) R&C and Uncharted 4. But that's literally the only exclusives worth a damn for the rest of the year coming for PS4. The X1 obliterates the PS4, I understand for some it's the opposite, but I'm not going to be a sad fanboy like the lot of you cows and somehow not comprend that someone can prefer a different console and be happy with it.

PC also needs some 90's right now the only system who is pleasing me is my PS4.

It's just not just the xbox one, wiiU hasn't put out crap PC hasn't done anything noteworthy in forever.

I'm all in on my ps4 uncharted 4, bloodborne stuff like this. Where is my exclusives for PC? WHERE ARE MY EXCLUSIVES 90+ rated?

WHERE IS MY DIABLO 2's my Tribes, my starcraft's WHERE ARE THEY recently. We can't all love Total War's some of us want other stuff.

At the end of the day, does it matter when we can all enjoy the amazingness that is the Witcher 3?

Nothing you said disproved the point I made. It only helped it. Yes there are sources that only review Xbox games, yes there are sources that only review PC games, yes there are sources that only review Nintendo games, yes there are tons of sources that only review PlayStation games. That is my point. These sources adds up and the number of reviews will sway the average of the game. That doesn't mean games are better or worse, it just means the total number of reviews sways the average. So you're saying Doom on Xbox One is the best version over PC and PS4 counterparts because MC says so? LOL.

The GameSpot SW metagame has always used 1 source for years and duh it's GameSpot's. Lol, "hiding behind GameSpot", no shit, we're on GameSpot! Why would I care about IGN's review in the GS SW metagame LOL. Wow! It's just all SW forum fun but there were so many cows crying and begged for changed since their beloved objects have the most flops and the whining wouldn't stop so it helped end the SW metagame. Using 1 source evens out everything in a made up metagame especially if that source is the website people are on and that's GameSpot. While using multiple sources like MC is good for getting an idea of the game you are interested in but when you try to use MC to compare games, it does not work out too well because of the reasons above. I highly doubt you will ever admit you understand this and just continue to be a clown in SW.

me as a xbox owner. Now lets see if there is a poll of happy people are with their current systems.

In a world where my R9 390X and 3440x1440 monitor didn't exist, I'd assume I was a sad cow too. Instead, you're just a console peasant pitching stones from a glass house. kthxbai

edit: In fact, you're even sadder than the typical console peasant, because you have anchored your loyalty to a platform so intrinsically tied to a better one that your own argument falls flatter than a tire meeting a ghurka knife. Just look at the list of games you chose. THAT is sad.

Somebody needs a friend.

What i have learn over the years here is that most new accounts are actually old member with new accounts.

Never the less what you like or care for is irrelevant on this thread based on SCORES.

The problem is on those cases we already know why there is a difference,on exclusives that doesn't apply because you will not see PC only sites rating a PS4 exclusive or xbox exclusive.

The meta game was only to determine a FLOP not for use and sole source of scores,hell even when the meta game was alive Metacritic score were right beside it on this own site,because well they are own by the same company.

Gamespot is owned by the same company Metacritic is and Gamespot score count toward meta as simple as that,so regardless of you caring or not 100 scores >>>>>>>>>> 1.

Really maybe you are living in the pass.

Halo5,Halo MCC,Forza horizon,Forza 6 and Gears of war all flopped here,in fact no matter what Halo flopping twice in a row is bigger than any flop found on PS4,you may cry about the Order or Drive Club those are new series that could have being good or bad,but Halo no Halo was the poster child of MS and the xbox brand and flopped twice in a row here,once with MCC and then with Halo 5.

Again you are just damage controlling because the xbox one doesn't have a single game 90 or better exclusive on Meta,contrary to the xbox 360 which had many by this time frame on 2008.

From what we've seen thus far, I believe Scalebound has the best shot of achieving such a score.

Probably not, Forza and Halo didn't manage it and they've gut their first party. Even if they do, the freaks will claim it's multiplat and "doesn't count".

hard to get 90 when sites like GIANT BOOM rate all xbox one 4/10 there is obiosly pay under the table sites

just yesterday I seen this Simon Parkin WETHER MEN WHO DONT PLAY VIDEO GAMES rate QB 4/10

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/apr/04/quantum-break-review-remedy-entertainment-xbox-one

I bet someone got hes jernolist lic to get in a bad review

I didn't say they were bad, just that they are better on another platform.

Once again, nothing you stated disproved the point, that the number of reviews sways the averages on MC and nothing more. It's mind boggling how you could admit that PC sites does not review Xbox and PlayStation games but somehow you fail to understand because of situations like this it sways the averages of the games there. And because of disadvantages like these, MC is not an even playing field when it comes to comparing games. Wow! Lol. And just because a game didn't get an average of 90+ on MC does not mean the game didn't get a 90+ score. Lol. The SW metagame is dead but everytime someone brings up the metagame like this one, it's fair game to talk about the metagame and expose how flawed using MC is. How could you say someone is living in the past caring for the metagame but at the same time you bring up games using the metagame Lol. What a clown I tell ya. And Lol @ MetaCritic and GameSpot being owned by the same company, so that does mean they're the same now Lol wow, talk about damage control.

Call me an old school gamer but I personally don't even care about metacritic score on a game, any game for that matter. If I see a game that catches my fancy, I'm gonna buy that game, regardless what the metacritic scores are, I still want to play that particular game. A gamer should at least test the game first, Let's say Quantum Break had the worst metacritic (and it did) I still enjoy the game for what it's worth but that's just me. Bottle-line is, metacritic scores are just there to see if the game is a hit or miss to the gamer but I personally don't take it into considerations for the most parts. Reviewers reviewing the game is another story I take into considerations.

@Heil68: Lol, you seriously sound like a boring Sony marketing executive that is speaking at an investor conference.

Yep,that´s pretty much the way it is.

@Shewgenja: Some of the ones I listed aren't on another platform, and like I said KI, and Gears Ultimate Edition wasn't even on PC until a few months ago. Like I said if you prefer PS4 or PC or whatever that's fine, but it's possible to have an X1 and be happy with it, I'm proof of it.
