What makes you more happy? Higher score on Metacritic or Gamespot?

Do you prefer your game scored higher on GS but scored lower on GS like Halo: Reach, Halo 3: ODST and Gears of War 3?

Or scored lower in GS but scored higher on MC like Uncharted 3, Batman: Arkham City, and Forza 4?

I actually prefer a game that scored higher on MC, because GS review become worse and worse, especially after the famous infamous 2 review, I can't trust GS review anymore

Wheres the "I don't give a s***" option?

Whatever works best for the fanboys when the situation calls for it. Add that to your poll. :lol:

I said Gamespot since I'm a Nintendo fan it is rare for Gamespot to give a Nintendo game a score above 8.5 so when it is 9.0 or higher I'm happier. With Metacritic I Nintendo games already score higher so I know what to expect when I see the Metacritic score.

Do you prefer your game scored higher

It's not my game, so I don't really give a ****.

When a game I'm excited for doesn't meet the hype on Metacritic, then I'm usually bummed out for a day or so.

If it flops on Gamespot, I tend to lay in bed for a week. Don't even go to work.

It seems to me, in my expert medical opinion, you are suffering from OSDD, or Obssessive Score Dependency Disorder.

I recommened immediate psychiatric treatment, and 2 hours daily minimum of games that scored 7.5 or lower for a period no less than 28 days.

Edge's reviews.

MC>GS anyday of the week. Why would you take 1 persons opinion over multiple peoples opinions???

What makes me happiest is a good game. And those can score anything from 1 - 10

Dont care about either, since reveiwers(no matter where) are VERY inconsistant.

So what? If 1 random person tells you X movie is bad, and 100 people tell you its good, who do you take seriously?

Why would anyone go by one single sites score more confidently than a metascore. _Cadbury_

Yea but why would you do that?? Thats awful. Take the 'taste' of 1 guy over another? Instead of overall opinion?

Its like a guy that loves muscle cars but reviews a lexus and gives it bad reviews beacuse its not his 'taste'. Just awful bro.

It's calling the back button. :lol:

Neither.

Metacritic by far.

I generally look at user reviewlostrib

I am with you there.I seem to believe user reviews more.

If you want to put weight on reviews, then metacritc obviously means more.

Metacritic, so I can do this......

Don't give a **** about scores, MC or GS. They are just one vague indicator among many others.

A game score doesn't make me happy at all. Playing the game is all that matters to me.

None of the above options.

So TL;DR is "I like reviewers to have some sort of bias".

k.

Neither. If I like the game, then I'm happy. Whether critics agree is irrelevant.

Metacritic. It's an average score, right?

I dont care?

I do like GS ratings only because i love reading damage control posts.
