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.
Again, as a PC gamer, I'm calling you a troll. This little pissing contest is all you post about.
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).
Watch Dogs is only a mediocre game, a 6.5/10 or 7/10 is the score it deserves (I played it myself with a gamepad).
However, the PC version is a direct console port. It is apparently practically unplayable with KB+M, not to mention that the game also requires quite powerful hardware although the graphics are only average.
It is a mediocre game and completely unoptimized for the PC platform. I'd say the PC version does indeed deserve a 5/10.

This is quite literally untrue.
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.
ME1 and DAO were the first games of the series. Back then people weren't spoiled brats and players tended to enjoy whatever was given to them.
ME2 was pretty great. It had some flaws but nothing relevant to the overarching experience.
You realize ME3 received A LOT of hate for the ending ( which was eventually fixed ), leading to a plethora of 0/10's which implied that the game was horrendous when in fact it was pretty much great except for the disappointing ending. The current iteration of ME3 DOES NOT reflect that score. It's pretty much a 10 with all its DLC and the EC.
DA2 received A LOT of hate for several reasons that are admittedly justified. The game was pretty good in other aspects but its score is definitely not above an 7 or an 8 depending on what you liked.
Now you have people who hated ME3 and DA2...and here comes DAI.
Suddenly every issue that does not please them is HORRIBLE and renders the game unplayable.
0/10's for not being able to run the game because of their own fked up computers, some issues with gameplay elements, and the lack of proper hair.
Alright then.
I didn't see anyone rate DAO a zero because of its much more gamebreaking/apparent flaws.
I posted this in another thread:
Inventory management was non-existent at first.
Combat is a slow hot mess that needs Combat Tweaks to be remotely challenging.
It had tons of ability fluff and several useless specializations that needed Combat Tweaks to make interesting.
Coercion was mandatory to make the game more interesting. Otherwise it had black or white decision making.
Most skills were useless, again requiring Combat Tweaks to make them useful.
Mages were blatantly overpowered. There was a significant discrepancy in player power across playthroughs.
Companion approval was mostly based on gifts. You bought their approval... how charming.
The fetch quests had very little context and were clustered.
You virtually did no exploration, and whenever you had to people complained (The Fade, The Deep Roads).
The game crashed a lot for no reason until patch 1.03
There was no storage space til Warden's Keep was released.
Armor and weapon crafting was non-existent.
THE MEMORY LEAK!!!!
I know right? Perfect 10/10 game compared to DAI.

Although I agree with gamepad is better, it is playable and enjoyable with KB+M. And it doesn't require "OMG SUCH HARDWARE" to run. My laptop handled it just fine (nvidia gt 650m, i7, 6 gb ram).
PC version deserves a 6.5-7.
While you are at it, If you think that all the 0 are trolls, and only they make new accounts to posts 0, let's look at some of the 10 reviews, and reasoning behind their 10 :
Spoiler
There you go. Shiny isn't it ?
Yet justifiable when all the 0 scores are from trolls too. Those fanboy reviews only came into existence to counter-act bad reviews from people who quite clearly haven't played the game.
This is why Metacritic isn't reliable but it always starts with the trolls who down-rate a game to 0 because it disappointed them or they hate the company who made it.
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.
xkg was an infamous troll during the DA2 era and it seems he intends to replicate his behaviour from 2011 all over again. I'm sure he made a post around here stating that doesn't even attend to buy Inquisition or something which (if true) means he's just here to cause trouble just like the idiots on metacritic who are down-rating a pretty good game without having played it based on Bioware's prior two disappointing games.
I'll just have to allow you to do so.
I'll take it that you won't bother anyone anymore with your brilliant thougts like this one
And you're leaving this thread for good. If so then yes, please do so and thank you.

I recently made a Metacritic account to leave a very low/negative review for the 360 version of DA:I. It wasn't a zero, but something like a 2 or 4. I don't recall. But in my review, I insisted that the gameplay is fun. But I went on to explain how the 360 version is terrible as far as glitches, bugs, textures, graphics, etc and that it is not worth the 60-70 dollar price tag. I also explained that if you insist on getting the 360 version, then buy it used. My "review" was more of a warning for that particular version of the game. Then I went to the metacritic page for the PS4 version of DA:I and gave it a 9. The only reason I didn't shoot for a full 10 is because of minor glitches, but they are so minor that I had to give it a 9.
So, I wanted to clear up that I did not have a metacritic account, I recently made one, and my review was not a troll review. It was helpful feedback. I didn't want others to end up in the same mess that I found myself in. I had to go out and buy a PS4 just to actually enjoy the full experience of the game.

Nobody is claiming that negative reviews are necessarily troll ones.
You stated your reasons and gave the game an honest review in either case.
People giving DAI a half-assed review with a 0 rating is just...

Fair enough.
My biggest concern is people getting screwed financially. The 360 version is not worth a base price of 59.99. I lucked out and was able to return mine for a full refund and then upgrade consoles (though I am done with xbox - I'm a PS4 fan now hehe), but there are a lot of people out there who are not so fortunate.
BioWare did a great job. Sure. But the company does not deserve money for the quality of the 360 version, and people don't deserve to get screwed like that. It was so bad, and I was so unsure that I'd be able to get a full refund, that I was quite literally in tears. :/
I didn't get any sleep that night. I was very stressed about losing the 70 bucks - along with all the good feelings I had for BioWare. The next morning I awoke, bleary-eyed and lacking sleep, dragging myself into work, and then dragging myself into the game store, trying to prepare myself for a "sorry we can't give you a full refund." The girl at the counter was my f*cking savior. She let me return it. I could have kissed her and bought her dinner. And I'm a straight, married lady... lol

I don't recall saying I was going to leave any threads. I haven't retracted my position at all either, I'm pretty sure I just reiterated several minutes ago that using Metacritic user scores as a gauge of a games quality is idiotic.
I dunno, you just seem pretty 'gotten to' to me, or touched in the head. Either way, I'm indifferent to your suffering, you may proceed.

There's no need to insult his intelligence.
Just destroy his arguments with your own.
I sincerely hope you are joking. AngryJoe is on the payroll just like every other Youtube "reviewer" that's received an early-review copy of the game. It's in their contract that they may only speak positively. I actually watched his "early impressions" video and could tell he was trying very hard to only be mentioning positives such as "the animations and the way the mage casts his attacks are amazing"
Yeah, great review there Joe. How about you talk about important stuff such as the game only functions with a controller? But it still suckered me into buying it so I guess they've done their jobs well.
I've seen Angry Joe crush AAA titles. You should see his Rome 2 TW review. Besides, it's a great game so why shouldn't he give a great review??

You're right, there's no need, it's just extracurricular activity.
I'd be happy to have a debate with the aforementioned heathen, or a spelling contest, whatever seems appropriate.

Cause positive reviews are obviously bought while negative ones are honest.
How dare a reviewer enjoy the game?
/s
Fact of the matter is, reviewers have to actually analyze the game before making a half-assed review... unlike the many trolls who drag a game down due to a couple of difficulties while ignoring the game itself as a whole.

Indeed, this is the first time I've actually seen him give a positive review, and after playing the game for 20 hours I can see why he did.
Its not troll account its CDPR fanboys that hate Bioware for some reason. I dont know why, and i dont know why CDPR is considered so highly since the only game they made is the Witcher which i dont even like compared to Bioware who made probably the top 3 best game ever KoToR and Baldurs Gate and many more.

I like The Witcher too, but that doesn't mean I have to try and sabotage this game.

You underestimate the pettiness of the Dragon Age vs The Witcher crowd. It's totally believable.

Anyway, no doubt we'll now have the witcher 3 reviews ruined by further vendetta.
