Well considering we are on GS i guess that makes sense, but they also post review averages on this website, so sounds to me like we should be able to use those also. GS posts them so we should be able to use them here on system wars.

You guys see where I'm coming from?

Yes i totally agree, but when it comes to comparing games or arguments. Review scores are the closest things you have to facts.

SCORES really don't mean much in my personal life. I have about 4 sources from Mags to Sites(Or rather reviewers) that I trust, and then I proceed. Review Average's are a joke, relying on one site isn't good either.

TO PLAY System Wars, you need to play by the rules, that's that.

SW is a game. You can't change the rules. If it's more than a game to you, then you need to take a break.

a lot of people just give a game a score of "1" or "10" just to affect the average and haven't even played the game.

I only use GS scores for the lulz.

The epic meltdowns for games that flop really help me to pass the time at work :lol:

Outside these forums, scores don't mean your life, or shouldn't.

In System War's forums, and the rules to the SW Metagame (AA, AAA, flop, etc count) only GS scores matters. Not a hard concept to follow really. If you play the SW Metagame then you play by the rules, if you don't,t hen don't post here. :P

What im saying though, is that GS posts review averages on their website. So technically were not using Gamerankings or Metacritic.

Im saying if Gamespot uses review averages on their website shouldn't we be able to use them?

if you're not going to at least try to play the game, then just go back to GGD.

If we wanted to use a game's average score for the gold standard, then we should go to the forums at an averaging site like Gamerankings.

Because that score doesn't come from Gamespot's review. If that were to be the case, we should use User Ratings.

Yes I use GS score when we're discussing about scores here in the GS forums.  But in real life I  also look at other sources for reviews, such as IGN and 1up.

The same people that run Gamespot also run Gamerankings.

Only using Gamespot leads to nonsense like, "Perfect Dark Zero is one of the best shooters this gen!!!!" and "Mass Effect is as crappy as Eternal Sonata!!!" or "Eternal Sonata is a good game since its almost a 9"
