Metacritic redisgns website to boost Nintendo games and lower Baldurs Gate 3 score.

>Prior to the redesign, Baldurs Gate 3 was the highest rated #96 metacritic game, it is now the lowest and one bad review away from dropping to 95
>Meanhwhile Tears Of The Kingdom, which was one of the lowest rated 96 games is now suddenly the single highest 96 Metacritic game

Never let anyone tell you the Tendie Bonus isn't real, Meanwhile on Opencritic BG3 is still higher than TOTK.

      No they don't, they simply started weighing the critic reviews of websites like Nintendo Magazine more, the reviews haven't changed one bit.

      BG3's PS5 score was the highest of all time above Elden Ring just yesterday, it dropped below it after today.

        Fanboy pages should get the lowest priority if not outright excluded. It's extremely obvious they're just gonna shill exclusives and blow up the critic score.

    Who cares? Art can't be rated and there can't be a "game of the year". What you mean is "Websit/private Person/private company says that Game X is THEIR favorite game of the year"

    Is the same shit with "Miss Universe" and other subjective rating bullshit. It has no official meaning and is as qualified as whatever the drunken hobo says on the street.

    I want to design my own review website thats 100% controlled by users with this gimmick that would make it so people understand why something is popular based on who's rating it.

    There's no fucking reason why barbie and Oppenheimer get the same review score and users need to guess if it's right for them based off an arbitrary number.
    If you like Oppenheimer you probably like no country for old men, and Tenet, and inception.
    If you like barbie you like twilight and the notebook. Users should know what's popular with a demographic and not have to guess.

    So if you create an account you pick movies you liked, and when you review something it will be rates across different demographics. If you like horror movies and hate romances, you'll see what other horror fans rate romance movies based on your demographic opinion.

    I'm sick of hearing fags who only like call of duty rating Zelda games, I'm tired of fags that only like silent German expression films giving good movies shit reviews. I'm pissed that users need to rely on either a retarded review site with bias critics or YouTube influencers with an agenda.

      They don't? If you can't tell from the fucking title whether Barbie or Oppenheimer is something you might be interested in then you might be retarded. The title/trailer/premise of the movie tells you if it's for you, and the score tells you if you might like it or not. Someone who sees these two movies with the same score doesn't get confused, they know that if they were interested in Barbie then it's worth seeing Barbie, and if they were interested in Oppenheimer then it's worth seeing Oppenheimer.

        Everyone has that 6/10 game they absolute love and would argue until they're blue in the face that it's a great game. I just hate this idea that everything needs to be summarized or condensed into digestible bites for whether thing is good or bad based off a number. You are correct that if you are unable to identify what you may or may not like from immediate snippets of a game then you might just be retarded and no amount of aggregate data will solve that.

      You have the right idea, but this is essentially already what Letterboxd and (for games) Backloggd are and they come with plenty of their own problems., namely inflating/deflating the average score of a movie/game based on nebulous bullshit that has nothing to do with the work itself. I have a lot of followers on the latter and I partially contribute to it out of spite, so that at least one top review for a game I like will actually be about the fucking game.

    Ignoring how much this is making a mountain out of a molehill, Opencritic has its own problems. It only counts reviews for games from the 8th generation onwards for one thing, so it’s a much less wholistic picture of what games are generally considered the best by critics, which you ought not to give a fuck about but Ganker is currently obsessed with, and the way it combines reviews for all platforms can drag down an average based on a single shitty port when all others and the game itself is fine.

    Im ok with this, i mean, BG3 is fucking garbage, rarely i've seen a more blatantly shilled game before. A game based on reading and listening dialogues and rolling dice with that high score is a fucking joke

      Fucking this. I have no idea how anyone can play BG3 and pretend they're having fun. Jesus Christ just read a fucking book.

      Yeah, once they figure out how to get it running within the hardware limitations and not causing the console to burst into flames.

    Every single person who isn't a Nintendo dickrider or shill knows this already, they can make the same exact 10 times in a row and get higher scores and get away with performance issues while half the industry would get grilled for it.

      >and get away with performance issues

      TotK is more polished than any AAA game this year. Imagine any other developer trying to make a game as complex as TotK and think about how much of a complete broken unplayable mess it would be.

        yeah because it's the same game as 2017 and it'd be borderline shameless even for Nintendo standards if it still had issues

        meanwhile

        >fps drops to under 15
        >pop-ins everywhere
        >frame stutter at times
        >textures wont load
        here comes to part where you say all that is fine and allowed because it's still running on a mobile chip, I cannot wait for the third open world Zelda game to look exactly the same on the new powerful switch when RDR2 was made on the same exact hardware and it will still get a pass because it's Zelda

          You sound irrationally upset. TotK is one of the best video games I have ever played on any system. Nintendo are running rings around every other developer using tech from two generations ago, barely bigger than my phone.

            Same exact game made by Sony but it isn't called Zelda and it wouldn't get more than an average 8.

                You might as well post screenshots of Mario going down pipes and claiming they're the same game.

              Realistically all that would change is that people who don't like it would be slightly less anal about it

    Reviews from fan sites and reviews that are clearly done to only to lower scores should never count in any context
