Some people either don't want to agree on the GS Metagame terms or just want to troll, because that's how things have ALWAYS been.:P But of course, people have to DC and bring up other sites. Like EVERYONE stated in here, a game is a flop if it doesn't meet it's HYPE and it exceeds it's HYPE if it scores higher than it's HYPE. How hard is it to understand these simple System Wars rules that have been in use for many, many years now.:?

Be happy that it's not the same as last generation, where any game that doesn't get a AAA rating, is a flop. Be happy my fellow fanboys.:lol:

You can bring up MC all you want when it isn't Metagame based over here, but when we talking about flops, it is correlated towards the HYPE the game got. Flopza 4 is a flop, Uncharted 3 isn't a flop.:P

I understand, I understand that we have been playing a broken game for years ... that was even more broken before but is only slightly less broken today. The system war arguments will get better once other review sites are allowed to be taken into account, trust me.

It's a simple game, that uses scores from the simple site, that we are simply on currently, right now, posting on. I don't see how it is broken when the metagame is based on Gamespot scores...:|

The main point of a game is to be fun. If we use metacritic, nothing is ever going to flop. Then the enjoyment of the game degrades to nothing. You actually don't know what is best for the SW meta game.

You know what one of the biggest reasons we had for not going with Metacritic? What if a game sits a 90 for a while and then goes down to an 89? Do we call it a success and then change it to a flop? What if it goes back up to a 90 a few weeks after that? The Gamespot score is rock solid and will never waiver. That and we are on Gamespot of course. :P

[QUOTE="rasengan2552"][QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"] And that is fine. However if you enter into a conversation about flops don't be mad when they only use Gamespot scores. :)Ragnarok1051
I will be mad, because that system is flawed. Its much more concise to take multiple reviews into consideration than just one review for each game. using one person's calculation to compile data is flawed no matter how you look at it.

What data? Its a simple game that's apparently harder to understand than I thought.

When people say a game flopped, then they need to start putting "IGSO" (In Gamespot's Opinion) at the end of those statements, because recently people have been making it sound like games like FM4 flopped worldwide and not just on GS.

(Im half joking, and half serious here)

Meta Critic is far more reliable than 1 persons opinion.

So be it, I am quite sure many fanboys will be happy to make a thread stating "Halo 5 is now a flop according to universal reviews !". :lol: and then 6 months later it goes back up to 90 and a thread appears with the opposite info. 8)

Choose a decisive review method and stop this nonsense. For the past 3 wks all you read all over this forum was how Forza 4 "flopped" and how it did not live up to expectations blah blah blah, using GS's review as the ammo. On and on it went, even though the game had an extremely high score on Meta. Several gaming sites said the game bested GT 5 in graphics and gameplay specifically, in their review. There was no way that PS3 fans were gonna let that slide and clinged to the GS score like a child holding on to his parent's leg. "Forza Flopped", "Forza sucks", its was ridiculous.

Fast forward to today....all of a sudden in that stick'ed thread at the top of the page, guess what?? GS is not reliable any more because "Their" game did not beat Gears 3. Now all of a sudden Metacritic is back as a reliable source. You guys are something else.

kbanna

agreed. its amazing how the rules change when something doesnt go your way. i guess we all can say Forza 4 is a AAAE since gamespot scores dont count anymore......

[QUOTE="rasengan2552"]

FM4 metacritic review average 91 ... user review 7.9.

not that outstanding compared to the GS review, as a matter of fact most of the profressional reviews are similar to the GS review.

WarTornRuston
To be fair users reviews on metacritic are unreliable because fanboys actually rate games down on purpose. You would think they would have something better to do but I guess not.

Yea go look at the BF3 PC reviews on Metacritic. Mostly level headed and very high well deserved scores, then you have a slew of 0/10s by users like "BF3sucks" and "BattlefieldPee" and "MW3forLife"

no one said that but forza 4 flopped on gamespot but on meta critic yes its a 90 plus game but here it flopped period double aa . If u like it cool it has a good avg on meta i stll like gt5 but it flopped . Unharted 3 did not its AAA only thing i see people using meta on here for is to debate which is better uncharted or gears .

Uncharted 2 got a 9.5 while mass effect got a 9.0 and they were not released far apart from each other but some people liked mass effect 2 better thats all it is

"TC, you sound mad because:"

Hahaha...not sure if you are serious. First of all you are really bringing up Little big planet (The coverhas a sock puppet on it for God's sakes) to use as some type of ammo when talking about scores for each platform this year? Really?? I'm not going to even go into that. Look, no one is "Mad" at a review scoreof a video game. The point of the thread was for this forum to stay consistent. I never said that Uncharted 3 flopped...its not out yet, and a 9 is a great score. I'm simply saying that if GS is law then you can Sing, "Forza is a flop" all day, Just be able to accept in your heart that Gears 3 is also better then Uncharted 3 and no amount of sock puppets are gonna change that fact. Accept it and move on.
