The General Games Discussion Thread.

That's why I don't see all the fuss over the Xbox One and used games. Within a couple years most console games will be downloaded anyway.

Tbh, i prefer to keep games, trading games in is like throwing money away.

You buy a game for £45, trade it in 1 year later and get £13 or something, pointless.

You say that but when theres like 4 games you want coming out in a month places like Game offer deals which mean you can play them all pretty much, did it last year and got 4 new games in a month just by swapping them for other games.

She dies soon, she sacrifices herself for you and the little girl. it doesnt get better though.
boring game by now.

yawn.

95 on metacritic but JCash doesnt like it, well then it must be a do not buy

Nice of you to earn your reputation on here. I have seen this game being played and it is superb. There is a reason this earned perfect scores from reviewers who refused to give that score out before.

Metacritic doesn't count. Majorly flawed scoring

Of course if you like to sneak and hit all the time because thats the only 2 things you do in the game (oh i forgot searching.drawers (so innovative!), my bad, now its THREE things) thats the game for you. Or if you like to superficially judge a game by seeing it being played without playing it yourself.

Go and buy it then.

yawn.

Its less flawed than just going from one review though.

Nah. Metacritic is too flawed and killing a lot of games unduly.

Explain.

You really don't get the whole premise behind this genre of game do you?

So I imagine you don't play football games either then?

Explain.

Well, there's nothing wrong with Metacritic itself, it's basically just a website which has lots of review links on it.

The problem is when publishers use metacritic to hold a gun development companies. Some publishers will say if this game doesn't make this score then we're taking away funding or not giving out bonuses or whatever. It ends up encouraging developers to take less risks and that kind of thing. Metacritic hasn't done anything wrong, it's just provides and easy way for publishers to be dicks.

Exactly.
I dont do that anymore cause i find it too repetative and that is not what i want to waste my time with.
Id rather read a proper book outside.
Im still here available to offer advice/service for questions to this game though cause I used to play it quite some time before but that was then when I had too much time and no other obligations that are more important in my life now.

That isn't what KM is alluding to, he's trying to argue that the concept of aggregation is flawed. The only thing I can think he might be using to support this idea was a report that came out saying different websites have different multipliers on them so different scores have a different weight. But that makes sense for the most part, for example if a site uses a 1-100 scale it gives a true representation of the score on metacritic, but if the site uses a five star system, like on Giant Bomb, they can only give 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, meaning their four stars is not as well represented on the metacritic scale.

With that said, it might not be what KM is talking about.

He is partly right. I was alluding to something mentioned here about how Metacritic aggregate scores but they give certain places more weight (some no weight at all) instead of fairly rating games.

*edit* I just saw his second reply.

Very immature response, as expected.
Absolutely nothing to do with the topic.

Andto answer your question (which in fact reminds me what a 14 year old would ask): no, i dont.

For a guy who likes to act wise and thoughtful you present yourself as pretty fucking dim, to the point where it feels like you might have a mental disorder. Meditate on that.
