Every gaming journalist still clinging to a five star review scale deserves severe explosive diarrhea for the rest of their days.
I literally stated they haven't "really" missed. You're not as smart as you try to portray buddy!
You highlighted One single game which is exactly what I said... They haven't REALLY MISSED.
Funny you speak to me about learning basic English when you are the one making the word "really" do some insanely heavy lifting to basically mean "not actually, but just in like... broad vibe terms dude".
Here's the actual definition of really:
Saying they haven't "really" missed when they did, in fact, miss last year by backing a commercial and critical dud is just factually wrong.
Again, go to your boss and say you haven't "really" missed a day at work when he confronts you for actually missing a day at work last week and see how they take it. Hope they are an English major because apparently the word "really" has some higher hidden meaning that dictionaries don't agree with.
Time for them to be taken down. They are shit, not needed, bring nothing to the industry and sre effecting game scores when nobody asks them to.
Who actually likes them?
Why do you care so much about what scores games are getting and how much Eurogamer is supposedly dragging them down by giving 3/5 stars?
same with gears of Flopday?
It's almost like reviews are subjective and big gaming outlets have multiple reviewers who all can have wildly different tastes and standards.
Not this idiot trying to remove the word "REALLY " from the entire sentence to give me the definition. Again, dumbass words adds context to a sentence. A word can have a different definition from the context it use to apply in a sentence. Surely someone who loves to go around this forum acting like they know every thing should know this right? LOL!
Nobody here was ever talking about the definition for the word 'really' so you running to your little online dictionary is hilarious to me.
But let me play your little game as well.
Because frauds are effecting overall games scores. Not like Im losing sleep over it. But why not just start shitting on them more and more, until more peoplet get it. Alot of us have been calling them out for decade +. And there still here.
Ive worked in this industry, Ive seen people and studios get effected by these scores. the resume, future and their bonuses. By a bunch of fools
We have different mentalities. If Ive been calling a company as a fraud since PS3, why would I stop. You constantly moan about things you dont like, stick to your thing, your not gonna change my mind
They've partnered on way too few games for Lost Soul Aside being a dud only dropping their success rate down to 95-99% lol. That would mean they've partnered on anywhere from 100 to 20 games this generation. Also your own AI summary talks about examples where "one project was mediocre, but the rest were massive hits". And it's not like LSA was the only mediocre partnership product they had (Rise of the Ronin was another one, just not as big of a dud as LSA).
Hence why I used an example of missing a day out of a workweek, not missing a day out of a whole year. Scale matters.
Also beyond the whole semantics argument about the use of "really" - you were talking about a streak. A streak is uninterrupted.
How are they frauds? It's an outlet that has been around since the late 90s. Just because they're more conservative with their scores doesn't make them frauds. And their score alone cannot really drag down the Metacritic by all that much. That only happens when other outlets are scoring games similarly to them.
It's also not like they never give high scores, they do plenty of times.
Yeah that's really going to help the credibility of their games, blacklisting the biggest review outlets with the most reach so they can game pre-release Metacritic scores and in turn make them entirely useless.
These outlets have given plenty of Sony games super high scores. Maybe they just need to make better games instead of blacklisting outlets.
Nope, you wrongfully talked about a "streak" of hits when they literally partnered on a dud just over a year ago. You give it up bitch.
How the fuck are you right talking about a "streak of picking good single player games" when they picked a dud slightly over a year ago? We're talking about a game release schedule here, not a Duolingo streak. There's only so many of them every year, the fact that the most recent dud was slightly over a year ago means there is not "streak" to speak of. You're the one looking stupid here by rushing into this thread to get some stolen valor for Sony and saying factually incorrect shit.
Now I'm done wasting my time in here. You're intentionally shitting up a reviews thread because you hate to see PlayStation knocking it out the park, yet again.

GOOD DAY!
I wasn't wrong, you decided to move the goalposts and make it a retarded argument about the use of the word really. Which I should've never entertained, but I did anyway and basically we're back to the same point as before: it's a semantics argument.
Except there was another part of your post that made it clear we're not talking about some ambiguous use of the word "really" that implies a miss here or there is ok and part of the understand. You called it a streak. What fucking streak is there if the last Chinese game they partnered on before this one was a total dud?
Also wtf are you talking about man? PlayStation knocking it out of the park? This game isn't even made or published by PlayStation. Unlike Lost Soul Aside. At least I'm not running into a thread to steal the valor of a game made by someone else for a company I'm dickriding 24/7 and trying to defend my retarded statement with a dumb ass semantics argument. Like how are you mad at me pulling up a dictionary definition if you then go and pull up an AI answer yourself lmao?
They never follow a narrative or get told what to say.
We are all very honourable humans where billion dollar companies have no influence over others.
No politician or news outlet has never EVER been dishonest or had an agenda. We live in a perfect world
Dude what are you trying to say? You're straight up delusional if you think there's some sort of great plot to review certain games in a certain way. Even that pic with all the 60/100 scores from Eurogamer shows there's absolutely no logic or trend to it. You have western AAA games, western indie games, Chinese AAA games, Japanese games, Korean AAA games, European AA games. There are PlayStation exclusives, Nintendo exclusives, third party releases, etc. And it's not like Xbox games are safe from it either. They gave COD a 60 last year, South of Midnight as well.
The real explanation is that they're using a 5-star scale and because of that the bulk of games are going to land somewhere in the 3-star mark, which Metacritic translates to a 60.
I'm not saying everything should be believed at face value, but if you're going to make some major accusations like arguing video game outlets that have been around for almost 30 years are somehow in the pocket of certain people and being used to steer losers and winners in the market you better bring some good evidence other than "corruption has happened in totally other industries in the past - so my conspiracy about the games industry must be real".

No maybe you should learn basic English Language so you can understand that words carry meaning and context.

Bitch give it up!

Lmao no I'm right and that's fact! You look stupid as fuck in here.

You were wrong! The fact you tried to turn the discussion into a what is the definition of the word "Really" ... Already proves you were grasping at straws here.
Now I'm done wasting my time in here. You're intentionally shitting up a reviews thread because you hate to see PlayStation knocking it out the park, yet again.

Yes the thousands of news outlets around the world are all very honest and independent.
They never follow a narrative or get told what to say.
