So good people will get TWO jobs to have one! More responsibility! Massive Damage to the weak spot!! Worst E3 EVAAAAR!!
Why did you cut off at 85? Seems like such a specific number, when 8 is counted as a high rating score here? Wasn't there a list somewhere which showed the 360 has MORE exclusives ranked higher? And recent library? So my console sucks because it's big exclusive isn't coming till Autumn?! Varied genres? What's wrong with the 360? It has FPS's, TPS's, RTS's, RPG's, JRPGS, Family games, sports, racing, even Garden Simulators haha ...And those Gears shots looking average? I've stopped taking you seriously now, they look great - that's it. I said high scoring, 8 is not a high score, it's pretty damn average for a video game. 190 Tomb Raider: Legend 2006 80 191 Peter Jackson's King Kong 2005 80 192 Moto GP 06 2006 80 193 LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga 2007 80 194 0-D Beat Drop! 2009 80 195 Virtua Tennis 3 2007 80 196 Cloning Clyde 2006 80 197 Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 2007 80 198 Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening 2010 80 199 UEFA Euro 2008 2008 80 200 NBA Live 10 2009 80 201 Doom 2006 80 202 Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 2007 80 203 Naruto: The Broken Bond 2008 80 204 FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage 2007 80 These are the type of 80 games on Metacritic, these are not high scoring games.[QUOTE="Ravensmash"][QUOTE="Mestitia"]

High scoring exclusives according to universal critical reception. More varied genres, more recent library, more diferent ip's, more "graphics kings". And you must mean the Gears 3 bullshots, cause the other shots look really average, if you think it's going to look better then KZ2, UC2, HR, GoW III your crazy, let alone KZ3, UC3 etc...

there's no predefined standard for great, good, average, mediocre, bad....whatever. or at least on Metacritic.
8s on GS are "Great" 7s are "Good" 6s are "Fair" 5s are "Mediocre"
Fair and mediocre are closest to average. a 70-79 on a school's grading rubric is average. this is 85+ or it should be 80+. and considering quality tiers are AAA(90+) AA(80+) A(70+) BBB(60+), BB, B, CCC, etc.....
I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure I've got the logical grasp here. by not cutting the AA tier in half, and that I wouldn't consider 'great' games to be average.
it's not the Average Wall of China, now is it:)
also, keep in mind, this was just exclusives, library would only do the other side more justice. still, it comes down to this thing I like to call an 'opinion'
it's a good term, used within reason, it's great.

with mass spinnage, it's clearly average:)
we at SW should petition GS to make it this way: 90,95, 100 (editor's choice) 85(Great) 80(average) 70,75 (Good) , Fair, Mediocre, etc.
questionable for translating to Metacritic...but still.
LoL 80 is a high scoring game now? :lol: THen why did lems hate on the PS3 for 2 years straight cause it didn't have AAAE's? it had plenty of 80+... Why are people around here so dissapointed when a game they've been hying for a long time gets AA? The video game review scale doesn't use the full scale, 80 is a good game 90 is a great high scoring game, however at Metacritic a lot of AAA games get around the 86 87 88 mark, these are high scoring games, not 80... 70 is weak, below 70 is trash. 85+ is the watermark for exellence according to Sony and Microsoft, it was Microsoft that first used this guideline at E3,so quit spinning good games into high scoring games.
we at SW should petition GS to make it this way: 90,95, 100 (editor's choice) 85(Great) 80(average) 70,75 (Good) , Fair, Mediocre, etc.HavocV3Wait. So average beats out good? :lol:
I may pick up Banjo Kazooie:N and B when I trade in Splinter Cell later. Does the PS3 have a game like that? (just using it as an example to counter act all this 'less varied' nonsense). OT - just playing the demo now, that game looks beautiful graphically!Ravensmash
Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts Ruined Banjo Kazooie FOREVER!
I agree as long as they look impressive and play impressive who cares if they are not graphic kings.Tomorrow GTTV shows exclusive first gameplay footage of Crysis 2,be patient :)
Also it seems like games like Gears 3 and RAGE also look impressive,KZ3 for ps3 also,we are coming to point were majority of games look impressive so graphics king threads will become more and more meaningless...

You sound like yet another guy hoodwinked into the PS3 fanboys failing philosophy of graphics over gameplay.
UC2 ( if thats the game you are refering to ) in my mind has already been eclipsed by RDR on the 360.
and yes i own a PS3, i also own all the PS3 heavy hitters MGS 4 ( amazing ) LBP, Killzone 2, GOW 3 and the Overhyped UC2.
and all those games have one thing in common, after i played them they are now collecting dust in my collection.
stop worrying about visuals and concentrate on the fact that 360 is still killing the PS3 in games and quality DLC.
RAGE, CRYSIS 2 , Gears 3 and several other games are coming that will make you forget about UC2.
after playing RDR i already have.
this fall when 360 owners are once again playing the RPG of the year ( FABLE 3 ) And Halo Reach you will be wondering what all of this foolishness was about.
as far as graphics king, let the cows moo till the sun goes down, i pitty them really, they got so humiliated by gears of war 1 and 2 ( for YEARS ) that they prayed to the gods for a graphics king, they got it with Tomb Rider among thieves...whoops, i mean Uncharted 2 ( cant tell the difference really..) and its all they bring up because thats all they have.
god forbid, but if a thief broke into my house id rather he take my PS3 and all its games than my 360.
the quality over on that console is off the charts and leaves PS3 and its '' Graphics kings '' in the dust.
but youll only know this by owning BOTH systems and not being a fanboy.
also TC, this fall when a little game called Halo Reach drops and sells more copies in one week than the entire slate of PS3 exclusives ( remeber the Cow damage that Halo 3 did? ) Cows will be Owned once again and move on to attack gears of war 3 or whatever else is down the pike.
this foolishness has gone on since 2006 and will never die.
360 has continued to own them and Sony for 5 years now, just enjoy the games and let the Bovines have UC2.
how sad is it that theyre still mooing over a game that was released in october and took 4 months to move as many units as left 4 dead did in a month.
nothing to see here really.
..waithing for Obligatory detatched from reality cow response
Nah, then scale and da foliage will matter :PI would also like to see the 360 take over the console graphics king aswell. Shut up the Sony fanboys for...an hour or two.

Xbox doesn't need a graphics king. The PS2 never had one, yet it destroyed the competition. This whole graphics king thing has been kept going by cows who have little else to brag about really.Anjunaddict
True dat. Not to mention that Cows back then didn't care about graphics when they cared about gameplay within PS1 & PS2. Now this gen, it's a complete 180 with them.
I'm tired of PS3 owners gloating with their exclusive graphic kings around here for the past two or so years. This madness all started with Uncharted and MGS4 and I want this reign of terror to end this year!
With that said, Xbox.... do something about this catastrophe. You haven't had anything close since Gears 1.
When do you think the Xbox will once again claim some graphic king ownage?
Adamantium4k2
You don't understand .
One Lemming just has to start proclaiming any good looking game as current graphics King , then every other Lemming agrees with the first one and start chanting " Graphics King , Graphics King " then all lemmings start to really believe it , that's all there is to it , you will need a site with lots of Lemmings though so here in Cow Territory it could be problematic .
It worked for Motorstorm Resistance 1 , Killzone 2 , MGS4 , Uncharted 1 and 2 and almost for Heavenly Sword or GOW3 for Cows .

RPG of the year? lolz. that would go to Mass Effect 2. and Crysis and RAGE are also on PS3, and are said or they are likely to look a bit better on PS3.
and if were talkinga botu graphics, Reach really dosent look mind blowing. Although I do think itll be great fun.
Anyway, Graphics arent the end all be all, but they are still important to a extent.

No body said it...actually Epic said they can do much more with 360 than they did in Gears 2.They said it before and now Cliff said they were rushed and that this time they are gunning for top spot :)

Just play the PC/360 exclusives and be happy. They aren't on the PS3 anyways, and they are usually really great games. Either way, they are microsoft exclusive since they don't work on Apple or linux.[QUOTE="XboximusPrime"]

Actually, I heard in article Epic said they maxed out 360 with Gears 2, but then i think they backtracked and said that they meant they did all they could do on 360 with the current version of UE. Meaning they would need to retool it again like they are doing. Honestly, im not expecting Gears 3 to blow us all away and take top graphics spot, I just expect it to look good.

Considering crysis 2 looks worse than crysis and UC2 looks better than crysis. Obviously UC2 > Crysis 2.
If B > C and A > B therefore A > C it's simple really.
