No matter what the game is, some people will think it's the greatest thing in the world and some people will hate it and/or just want to bash it, and those groups are the ones most likely to simply give it 5 stars/0 stars. (Which is again why reviews that give explanations and reasons are the most credible.)<br /><br />Yes, I've seen critic reviews with incorrect information, which is why I mentioned that.<br /><br />So much skewing!

Sounds good.<br /><br />It may skew the results, but isn't it a good sign if a game has a passionate fanbase? And a bad sign if people go out of their way to write bad things about it?<br /><br />Well, lemme tell you: Reviewers DO give incorrect facts. Remember, critics don't necessarily have integrity, and it's not like they're more objective than players. They're obligated to write a review for something whether they would've otherwise or not, but that might also skew things.<br />Reviews on critic establishments often have multiple staff assigned to them. (You need to output a certain number of reviews per time period to get to be on Metacritic, after all.) Some of those staffers would've never played the game otherwise and just would not be into it, but it's an assignment nonetheless. We all get work assignments in our lives we'd rather not do, and the same goes for gaming journalism.<br /><br />That can skew things as well.<br /><br />Speaking of skewing, Metacritic has "weighted averages", so... That's absolutely skewing.

Things like God Hand, one of the best action games ever made, getting a 3.0 from IGN really highlights that. <br /><br />What we have been seeing since Gamergate is a realization from the ordinary public who just happen to play games over how unreliable these people are, and a big part of that is due to how unprofessional these people are.<br /><br />For example, did you see that IGN just flat out refused to review the Mario & Sonic at the Olympics game because 'it's too terrible to care?' Doesn't that series have a dedicated following? I've never played one of those games myself, and probably won't any time soon unless I suddenly get an urge for some Olympic action that doesn't involve lusting over a Chinese gymnast, but I still understand that not covering the game at all was a bad move. <br /><br />I feel like more casual gamers are getting just as sick as mediocre games like Evolve and Titanfall getting higher scores while gems get left in the dirt.

However, I give the most weight to reviews that are detailed and give plenty of information, and it's easier to find critic reviews like that. But if I find player reviews that take a serious look at the game and provide details rather than just their basic opinion, I treat them the same as critic reviews.<br /><br />I also know regular players are most likely to post reviews (especially to something like Amazon or Metacritic) if they really love the game or really hate it, which can skew the results.<br /><br />The two things I look for are: detailed, written-out reviews by either critics or regular players, or conversational thoughts on the game by regular players.<br /><br />On a slightly different note, I also find it useful to read players' reactions to critic reviews, to see whether people agree or disagree (or even consider the reviewer to be giving incorrect facts).Samantha Lienhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050896759185927270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-91213278275040500252016-07-14T21:18:16.649-04:002016-07-14T21:18:16.649-04:00Sounds like a cover up.Sounds like a cover up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17597465142883286577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-50676855272532673952016-07-14T21:16:42.941-04:002016-07-14T21:16:42.941-04:00And whose mouths did those come from?And whose mouths did those come from?Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-11488071526048618992016-07-14T21:13:48.815-04:002016-07-14T21:13:48.815-04:00I didn't delete anything.
