Oh no! Someone liked something I didn't! That's clearly impossible, so they must have been paid off.
Oh no. Somebody doesn't understand that a reviewer's job is to recommend games based on their quality and that Mass Effect 3 is a 7-8/10 game at the very best, but instead tries to recommend it to consumers as one of the best video game experiences ever, including even lying in the first sentence. Not to mention ignoring that other games that consumers disliked also got 10/10 and all that.
7-8? Well, that's your "opinion".....and nothing more. Too bad you're not a professional videogame journalist, I guess.
Besides, it wasn't just GI that gave it a high score. Every other major publication did.
And please, don't act like you speak for the majority of consumers. I know its hard to accept, but the popular opinion on the BSN and the popular opinion of the gaming community, are not one in the same.
It's the opinion of anyone who doesn't gush over heads and heels and look at the game critically on where it does good and where it does bad. I forgot that in todays "all major games must have 9-10/10" that 7 is seen as a bad score. It's also funny that you use the word professional, they're not. If they were then they would be incompetent. Tell me why for example ME 3 deserved 10/10 or MSG 4, or GTA IV.
Are you guys so much in love with stories, that you're willing to ignore the faults of a game?
lol well, they are indeed professionals. It's their profession. It's what they do for a living. It's okay you can't admit that fact. But that's exactly what it is. A fact.
Funny, you're still trying to dictate who's opinions are what...
And being a long time fan of the GTA series, I can honestly say that I can't stand GTAIV. And I think MGS4 is one of the most overrated games of the last decade(the entire series is imo).....but you know, those are just my own "opinions", and I surely don't think to myself: "whoever thinks those games are good, are just idiots and are completely wrong"
Where did I call you an idiot?
ME 3, suffers from a crappy journal system, drop in listening quests, day one DLC that's on the disk, glitches and a dream sequence that can't be skipped (very annoying for replay value), and a very anti climactic final mission, to name some of the things. That alone doesn't make it game of the year. A game like that (game of the year) has to have to solid controls, a good interface, polished up (so we don't see weird sprites, or Liara with head that comes out from the Exorcist) and have more missions than "Lol, here's that thing you wanted" and most of all replay value.
A beautiful thing about Metacritic is that it includes userreviews. That means amongst the fanboys, who will give whatever game a dev craps out 10/10 and the haters that gives 1/10 you'll have the honest bunch who actually REVIEWS the game. And from my own experience and judging by how often I've replayed it, ME 3 is at best 8/10 and at worst 7/10. Remember 7 is a good score. So a reviewer, who should know better (yet when it comes to big AAA titles, they seem to forget their critical thinking back home in a closet) to give it a game of the year recommendation, while ignorings it's flaw is innocently stupid at best and at worst, a sign of money under table. Considering the rumours and in times even evidence that's been about, it's safe to say that most reviewers are paid off.
Let me finish off by asking you something, if your website would only get early access to a game by promising the publishers to give the game nothing under 8/10, flew you to Hawaii in a super expensive hotel and had you try the game there, before flying you back all expenses paid. Would you rather be good friends with them and keep making sure that their games get a high score, so you'll keep getting earlier access to their stuff (thus helping traffic for your site) or be honest and always be late with everything, since publishers won't have you in good standing?
