      It's funny how old media is actively being swept under the rug in the public consciousness. Zoomers are already unwilling to watch something made before the year 2000 because they think movies are like iPhones and they shouldn't be caught dead with anything but the latest one.

        thats just how modern consumerism works. you need to sell something to these slobs so you have marketing and shill campaigns echoing that old media is worthless and outdated. antique bad...unless we are remastering it again for the fourth time then by all means please buy.

        Zoomers won't watch stuff made before 2012 because "it didn't age well" which is code for "it's not woke enough for modern tastes".

        Basically it's that Chapelle show sketch about the black guy in the KKK but it was a real life police sting because it was back in the 70s when blacks spoke normally. Anyway they didn't film the movie in the city that it actually happened in and I'm very mad that the one time my city got featured in a large scale movie, they faked it. I want to give the movie 7/10 but because they filmed it in Arizona or what ever makes it 4/10 top.

        Not a single movie in the new list has a 100% rating. The reason the list has changed is they take into account the number of reviewers. There's way more movie reviewers today. That said, Black Panther is only the highest rated movie of all time because it's essentially illegal in the Western world to criticize it as it's seen as some sort of black supremacy anthem and blacks are a protected class. To dislike Black Panther is to admit you're a bigot and a racist.

      I haven't seen (not even pirated) a movie made after 2020. I think Druk is the most recent one. How would you even detect a gem among the trash now?

    Journos are objectively the most corrupt they've ever been. They've only ever gotten worse and more desperate for gibs from publishers and ad revenue.

      Metacritic user scores are useless. It's just a tug of war between haters and fanboys, and due to how few people vote on metacritic even a small group of people can review bomb the score in one or the other direction. That's not to even mention the schizoids with their botnets. Steam review score is a much better gauge of where the public stands on the game.

      Also, the critic scores have ALWAYS been massively overinflated.

        Fanboyism was WAY worse back in the day. It used to be the critics were somewhat reliable and the user audience was full of morons screaming at each other that only the games on their system were any good and the games on your system SUCKED.
        Nowadays it's the opposite. Journos are corrupt as frick and consolewarring, while still a thing, isn't nearly as bad as it used to be. The average person is still moronic though, so that doesn't help. Average to negative reviews are still almost always far more enlightening than positive ones, which usually just suck off a game without any reason given why.

    It was a good year, but the chart speaks for itself. The standards have fallen so low in the past decade that a bunch of 7-8/10 games coming out in a single year feel like golden age in comparison.
