Jimquisition: Metacritic Isn't the Problem

[Rabish Bini]

I fail to see how this....troll belongs on the same sight of Yahtzee, and Extra Credits. The fact that his review is an act does not negate the fact the he portrays himself as a egotistical jackass. I've seen less inflammatory Anons. Although he makes decent points from time to time, all of them are overshadowed by his pretentiousness, and the fact that he seems to revel in trolling.

Anyway. My point. This video series gives gamers, and the escapist a bad name. Getting insulted in video form by a self-satisfied twat, or someone doing a very good impression of a self-satisfied twat is something that no one actually enjoys. Save your money, and save your time, Escapist, and find a video series worthy of this site.

Don't you dare tell me that I don't enjoy it. I damn well enjoy Jimquisition and I damn well will keep watching. Don't generalise your opinion to others.

Ditto.

hard to say game companies are using metacritic "wrong" when you can easily map projections (i.e., whether a game meets/exceeds them or not) directly to metacritic scores.

it's still a business, and the goal is to *sell games*. a high metacritic score sells more games, period. hence the focus on it.

I just love how the description doesnt even address the topic of this week's episode at all.

I had actually assumed Metacritic had some kind of deal going with a lot of industry contacts, because it seems so excessively prevalent.

The way Jim talks about it makes it seem like this isn't the case, which raises the question to me, "Why IS metacritic so renown?" I genuinely don't get it, it's a review website...
