My review is 9/10. It is similar to what major gaming sites give the game. That is enough justification for me to completely write off users reviews as utterly worthless for not only DA:I but for all future titles. But I don't have to because I've already done that a long time ago, as has anyone else with a modicum of sense.

 

As for people who don't meet that criteria, who cares? What nonfactors do is irrelevant.

 

So users scores and reviews are worthless yet somehow you needed to post your score, hoping that someone will care ?

You don't care about other people opinions, they don't care about yours. Simple as that, you're not any more special than anyone else.

I didn't post a review of the game.

 

If I was hoping someone would care (which I wasn't) it appears I was successful since you obviously do.

 

You simply succeeded in highlighting the spirit of my post, which was people that care about user scores aren't overly bright. Thank you for participating, and stay salty.

 

See this exchange further illustrates why we have "user review trolls". Had I posted that my review of the game was say 4/10 it would've gotten a completely different reaction from this person, and oddly enough my opinion suddenly would've carried more weight. To get the reaction I did is the main reason I posted my score to start with. It's inevitable that someone who thinks the game sucks will gravitate towards and argue with someone who thinks it's good.

 

This leads to frustration, and "haters and white knights" post at the most extreme opposite spectrum as possible in a futile attempt to prove some kind of point. It's a pointless exercise, and this is why we can't have decent user reviews.

[texhnolyze]

Yeah, it's pathetic.

They just create new accounts just to give a 0 vote to DAI, and many other games.

I don't think any game deserves a 0, except it's totally unplayable.

They're just the lowest example of gamer.

 

Moreover, you know what?
PC user rating is way lower than consoles. I take it that those are votes from butthurt pirates who can't play the game for free.

Or *maybe* its because Bioware lied to their PC fanbase about what DAI was going to be?  And then phoned in the port on top of that, resulting in a terrible KB+Mouse UI that has about 50% of PC customers pissed off about the game.

I'm glad I'm not one of those 50% that are pissed. Yes, the game has its flaws. UI and controls are indeed messed up, but I managed to get used into it after an hour or so. I'm still enjoying it every night and am happy

Creating a Metacritic account is free and very simple. Just saying.

It is, easy to create a Metacritic account I mean.  And for sure the people giving it a zero can not objectively defend that score.  But neither can a 10 be defended, really.  If something is 0 on a 0-10 scale that means it literally can not get worse.  The opposite goes for a 10 on a 0-10 scale, it literally could not be better.

 

The people throwing zeros are doing that because they are pissed and that is one of the ways they can vent that feeling.

 

I plugged in an Xbone controller tonight and the game is way better.  I am still disappointed at the way this game was sold to the PC fanbase, and the lack of effort that was applied in creating the PC port.

[Lebanese Dude]

You know what we call kids that go to Disney Land then say it sucked because they didn't get cotton candy?

Brats.

Rating DAI a 0 cannot be possibly justified in any way.

[VonDodo]

As i said baldur's gate/dragon age fans have all the rights to be angry.

 

Any other wanting a good game will be happy.

 

We got a great game but should ve been called Mass Effect inquisition and not dragon age...

marketing mistake

[Rizaun]

It's people with nothing to do with their lives other than kiss butt or endless hate for something.

I never take Meta Critic seriously. 9/10 users are trolls.   

[Nyaore]

And this is why I'm glad Steam no longer uses Metacritic. It's far too easy to zerg the system and bloat the score of a game one way or the other, though to be fair I do remember in some past cases that Metacritic removes any score at 10/10 or 0/10 that has little more than one line about some nonsense and that isn't defended. Or did they stop that? Personally even without them doing that, I found more success finding two or three reviewers I trust and waiting for their opinions. I have no trust in the industry as a whole or the users as a whole for that matter to align with my own tastes, and why should they?

[TobyJake]

DA:I has potential. Sold under false pretenses, but potential none the less.

I am having very little graphics/system problems at all. Some things need tweaking for sure.

Saying it is PC orientated is a big fat lie, but maybe it can be patched. I hope so. Then it can get a rating it deserves.

PC Rating: 5/10 as it stands. Fingers crossed

[Han Master]

I said 6/10 and all the console fanboys call me a troll for giving such a low score, really the 10/10 score is as bad as the 0/10 because every PC gamers who plays the game knows this game is made with a controller in mind with crappy KB & M controls.

[edeheusch]

Considering that the biggest flaw of the game (when I say biggest I mean the one that I read the most complain about) seems to be that the K&B controls aren’t good and that the interfaces are inadapted for K&B, the fact that the average note of the PC version of DAI is lower is really not surprising. Actually, it is in favour of the fact that the metacritic user score has some meaning.    

 

If you are a PC player that like to play with a controller then the scores of the consol version of the games are more accurate for you but if you really don’t like to play with a controller then the score of the PC version can even be overrated for you (as it includes the notes of the players that like controllers).

If you had read this thread you would notice, that not even for once I said anything bad about anyone prising the game.

Had you posted your review and score, even 10/10, I wouldn't say a word.

It had nothing to do with your high score, and my only problem was with the way you said that :

 

But I don't have to because I've already done that a long time ago, as has anyone else with a modicum of sense.

 

As for people who don't meet that criteria, who cares? What nonfactors do is irrelevant.

 

And that was the part you tried to get reaction, not the score. Straight up trolling.

But since I am the last one to call someone a troll, I tried to communicate it to you in subtle way. Now I reckon you're less bright than you think you are. Happens, but can't help you with that. 

[Lord Bolton]

I never take Meta Critic seriously. 9/10 users are trolls.   

Oh, yeah, so I'm troll then? Just because you have other opinion about the final score? I've played this game for nearly 70 hours and so far it's 9/10 for me.

[Fishy]

It's funny mostly. It would be even funnier if we could put a face next to these review. Lot of kids and lot of them would be at a lot of different place. Just take this parody with a grain of salt or read them out loud with your friend and have a good laugh.

 

I also noticed that most people opening these kind of thread have very few post. They want the attention so bad.

[Chari]

Haha, nice stats you've got there. You mean, 50% of the posts you personally can remember or have seen on the official forums which equate to a VERY small percentage of all players - 50% of them are pissed off about one aspect of a decent game.

 

I'd say 100% of your post is bullshit.
 

And I'm 100% that even Bioware acknowledges that PC version has a lot of problems

[Lebanese Dude]

And I'm 100% that even Bioware acknowledges that PC version has a lot of problems

 

They acknowledge that there are some technical issues with all platforms, such as cutscene stuttering and game hang-ups. They are working on it.

 

They acknowledge that the PC, due to its inherent mutability, has some issues with some drivers. This is between BioWare and AMD/Nvidia... they are working on it.

 

They also acknowledge that some people have concerns with certain gameplay design choices. They are working on relieving some of the more significant and widespread feedback points, such as a more intuitive UI and default key-mapping as well as cutscene FPS locks.

 

This goes to show that BioWare is attempting to placate its player-base. If people are still "pissed" after knowing this, then they need to get off their high horse and delay playing the game if such issues are that gamebreaking to them.

 

Repeated posts about it won't make it come any faster.

[Proteus7]

ahaha

you are joking right. meta critic is accurate.....

i hope you're joking....people starting trolling that hard a couple years ago. metacritic is terrible on release for user review score. it is useful if u want to pull up a bunch of professional reviews to sort through though.

They tend to sort themselves out the further you get from release date and the trolls go away. X-Com I remember was rated a 2 or 3 for quite awhile. Same thing with civ 5. And pretty much any other game I've liked now that I think about it.

If you think the user scores on metacritic are bad, wait till you find out how the professional scores are done.

Metacritic uses a weighted scoring system, where they give more weight to some organizations than others. So IGN's score might be "worth" more than Eurogamers score, and Eurogamers score might be worth more than Gamespot's score, etc.. Metacritic won't tell people how they weight these scores though, so there's no way for us to know what score carries more weight in their system. Also, metacritic can change this weighting system at any time they like, without informing anyone as to what exactly they are doing.

The "pro" review system is as much of a joke as the user scores. At least we know how the aggregate user score is determined. The pro system is mystery to everyone but metacritic.

[Jeremiah12LGeek]

I plan on listening to people who've actually finished it. If they want to take the time to write words out, I'll take the time to read them. Typing a number doesn't really amount to a "review" for me, so I tend to ignore that kind of thing.

[dlux]

Once upon a time Bioware used to make very good games and the Metacritic user score reflected upon this. The Metacritic user score and user reviews were considered to be quite helpful and accurate.


 
For some unexplainable reason a curse befell the Land of Gamers turning many loving Gamers into evil trolls, whose only purpose was to give Bioware's excellent games negative ratings on Metacritic. The Metacritic user score has now been deemed as completely and utterly useless by Bioware's White Knights until this abhorrent evil has been completely vanquished from the land.
 

 
Hopefully Bioware's White Knights will be able to lift this curse before Mass Effect 4 is released.

[JCAP]

-snip-

 

For you, I have this:

 

Is Watch Dogs a disappointment? Absolutely! Is Watch Dogs bad? Not even close. Yet, metacritic users say: "JCAP, you are dumb"

 

Metacritic was a good reference a few years back, nowadays is filled with trolls. I would rather take my chances with IGN reviews than with metacritic users (and IGN sucks).

[Adynata]

What frustrates me about the negative metacritic reviews is that they are almost all about technical issues due to players have a pc that can't handle the game. I run it perfectly on a 2-year old gaming laptop with most settings on high, so I think those complainers need to take better care of their pc or something.

I have read the thread, and what I see is you bickering with about 4 different people.

 

Me thinks thou doth protest too much.

 

And you calling me a troll, lol. Read the first sentence of this post then go back and read what you've said so far. Then come back and try to make a coherent response.

 

The only thing I can't help with is the fact that you actually put stock in Metacritic user reviews. I tried, as have others, but if you insist on such idiocy I suppose I'll just have to allow you to do so.
