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

[QUOTE="me2002"]When Flopza 3.5 and Battleflop 3 flopped it made me happywaltefmoney

What about Flopzone 3 and inFlopmous 2? Did those make you happy?

Does this make you happy?

Hah. None of them. I play what I think is fun and great. Gameplay video is what I turn to. Doesn't take a genius to figure out what you like. See for yourself.Elann2008

Where's the options for multiple major sources ? like IGN, Gamespot, GameInformer?

Don't care about scores, all I care about is if the game will keep me entertained.

I would say a higher score on Gamespot because Metacritic takes account of a lot of unprofessional reviewers who are just bad at their job, whether they give a game a low score or a high score. Gamespot at least has a pretty high professionality about them.

That being said, scores don't matter much to me considering my favortie source of reviews is RPS anyways.

Deciding on purchasing a game based on just one review is ridiculous, you need see a variety of review so it's best to go on Metacritic to see what various critics gave a certain game. Now saying that if I want to get a game and I enjoyed the demo or trust the developers then I could care less what the critics gave it, but if I am not sure about a game I will go on Metacritic to see the range of reviews instead of just depending on GS.

Neither actually.

Take Nier for example.... Even with it's admittedly last gen feel, it's still one of the best jrpgs this gen, especially in regards to story.

And it has the most meaningfull New Game+ of any game this gen, a large part ofthe plot is in fact part of the second playthrough. Without spoiling anything, I'll just say that you get a new perspective and you can now understand what the shades say.

You may end up not feeling all that heroic ;) Oh, and Kayne is a hermaphrodite, it's just tragic rather than cheesy.

Review wise it's mediocre at best though.

None of these make me happy.

I pay more attention to MC scores. Having said that, sales trump everything. Sales determine if you get a sequel, if a series dies or not, if developers go out of business, or if developers thrive, etc.

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

agpickle

my score>metacritic score>gs score = your score

problem?

I don't know if such a thing makes me "happy" but I pay more attention to scores on MC than to GS or any other specific review site. kuraimen

Gamespot scores are the only thing that matter on System Wars. Gears 3 > Uncharted 3

Metacritic/Gamerankings are better in my opinion though.
