We don't want PS4 score to go down to less than 70, do we?

It's on the PS4 list.

I was pointing out Salvor listed 4 out of 5 missing games but missed out on the one rated 45, and then he calls people console warriors, pathetic.

 

[d1rtn4p]

These numbers make sense. Worst launch, as far as good exclusives go, that I can remember... Dead Rising 3 barely managed to get me interested; couldn't care less about any other games.

 

[Chuck Norris]

I get the feeling a lot of reviewers are aiming for a clean slate this gen, try and get rid of that 8-10 review scale and make better use of the numbers. Can you imagine a game like Ryse getting 4-5 last gen?

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

No NBA live either, but you missed that from the list, dunno why...

I also missed out NBA 2K14 (as did you conveniently) so I guess that events it out

 

[Skeff]

How is Flower an exclusive of any sort?

PS3/PS4/PSV It's more locked down to playstation than titanfall, zoo tycoon and Project spark is to xbox.

Kinda reminds me of The Bouncer from PS2 launch. That reviewed relatively well as it was a pretty game but was mediocre otherwise with there being more cutscenes that actual gameplay..

I didn't catch Zoo Tycoon. But why even mention Titanfall and Project Spark, non launch games that aren't even on the list? Bizarre.

So these are the Xbone games I hear so much about

Not that I give a shit about Metacritic scores but from some people posts you would think the Xbone launch was full of GOTY releases.

Edit: Btw Op the median is probably a more fitting measure in this case.

 

[LiquidSolid]

How the good fuck did Perfect Dark Zero manage an 81?

Launch hype and I think the press tends to be far more pessimistic nowadays.

 

[Haluko]

Thanks now I know which console to get, that was easy!

 

[Raysoul]

What about Wii U?

Someone should make one just for giggles. Better if Wii is included.

Its included now, he simply missed it. Though we all knew that the Multiplats would carry this launch, so the XBO average will get bumped significantly as well.

 

[T.O.P]

XBO list is still missing most third party titles therefore some numbers will be skewed!

What's the point then? lol

 

[NemesisPrime]

This is a topic to show you can do anything with statistics.

 

[flak57]

Super Metroid = 10.0
Shit Game = 0.0

Average = 5.0

Ryse = 6.1
Crimson Dragon = 5.5

Average = 5.8

 

[Prophet Steve]

Nope. March, and yes, the PS3's first couple of years were impressively terrible.

Oooooooh wait, I live in the Netherlands, and I think the PS3 got a delay here so it actually came out in March. So that would make sense.

 

[sono]

I dont think these comparisons have have a lot of meaning but seem harmless fun.

Kanck? I know it was just a typo. However, there should be a game called Kanckle which is about the quest to find socks that don't make your calves look like a tube of cookie dough.

I might need this explaining to me (the part about cookie dough, I get the ankle part)

 

[Zalman]

Wii U actually has the highest rated exclusive on Metacritic. (NSMBU at 84.)

 

[Desaan]

Stats, I fucking love stats.

All the bitches dig stats right?

Right guys? Guys?

 

[T.O.P]

Should've made the thread once all the scores are in

 

[MikeE21286]

Your Xbox One averages are deflated.


You're missing third party games.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Should've made the thread once all the scores are in

As others have said, you can probably just copy/paste the 3rd party scores from PS4 to XBO if you like.

I didn't do that because I knew that people would yell about how they might not get the same scores due to the power difference in the systems, so I held off.

Why no Wii / Wii U ?

I'll add them later today as well.

 

[Interceptor]

Why no Wii / Wii U ?

 

[Auto-Reply]

How the good fuck did Perfect Dark Zero manage an 81?

And Condemned only 81?

That game was 90+ in my book!

 

[doyoueven]

this thread is everything that is wrong with the world

 

[OmegaDragon]

If you'd add all the titles not marked as exlcusive to Xbox one, Xbox one would have 17 games (3 more than PS4). And the average score of Xbox1 would jump to 72.

Was bored and found there is little difference in the average of all 70+ scoring titles (80.5 vs 82.1; 11 Xbox games vs 11 PS4 games). Makes sense, as the majority of the high scores are the multi plat games.

 

[mckmas8808]

Metacritic. Why?

Why not?

 

[Newt]

These numbers seem kind of pointless.

 

[Nestunt]

launch games are always subpar?

i think everyone knows that

 

[gutterboy44]

A tube of cookie dough is a uniform sausage like shape. Cankles or 'Kankles' tend to mean you have no definition between your calves and ankles, hence cankles. With socks on, a cankle could be akin to a tube of cookie dough. It was a dumb joke regardless.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Would be good to average user scores for exclusive games in a week or two and compare

Maybe average 3 different sites user scores?

 

[methane47]

F2P games for PS4 missing?

DCUniverse?
BlackLight?
Warframe?
