A substancial part of the gamers and reviewers are rednecks that don't know how to count. For this peoples, in a scale from 1 to 10, 8 is in the middle. This is the real problem.

While I agree whole heartedly that quantifying a game with a score is pretty useless, I still like metacritic for checking on a game. At the very least, it lets me quickly and easily find the highest and lowest reviews for a game out there, open them in another tab, and read each of them, so I can quickly get the most positive and negative opinions on a game quickly and easily.ThatDaveDude1 said:I dislike Metacritic because I dislike the idea of numbers on a scale being used to quantify a game. Since there is no "perfect" game, then the score of a game in relation to a "perfect" score is useless. Since all Metacritic does is collect scores, it too is useless.
That analogy would work if you were able to recognise the remarks about your Mum and intelligence are accompanied by a joking wink, and that the shit is actually just a brown felt-tip with a funny smell.BlueInkAlchemist said:Let's say I get a message in the mail, like this, from Jim or a similar observer of popular culture.
The contents of the message could be poignant, topical, relevant and completely on the nose from my subjective point of view.
But if the envelope is covered in slanderous messages about my obvious lack of intelligence (since I'm not Jim) and disparaging remarks about my mom's performance in bed, written in human feces (because that's always funny), I'm not going to open the envelope.
Call me crazy.
