this bit from skill up's review of wolverine knocked me on my ass, it feels like something that wouldve come out of one of those focus m parody videos but its in a real triple A game

People who act like wanting Destiny 3 should play Marathon instead is delusional. While I enjoyed Marathons first season - it’s not the same game. You can want Destiny 3 - without wanting to support Marathon. It’s not the same type of player base.

impressively anti-intellectual! Criticism does not exist to predict the audience Metacritic score. Criticism is not consumer guidance. Critics are not reviewing kitchen appliances. Actually! A critic who reliably reproduces popular opinion is fucking useless.

And since press does still count, I ended up reviewing the reviewers too. Every outlet and creator gets a trust score based on one question: When they reviewed a game, did players end up agreeing? You can see who consistently calls games the way players see them, and who doesn't. Again, simple and fair.

Thomas Mahler best known for metldowns on Twitter/Era and the Ori series launched a website similar to Opencritic/Metacritic where user reviews accounting 2/3 of the score. The thought process is that the review score shouldn't stay untouched after the original release. videogamescritic.com
