Metacritic Is A Steaming Pile Of Garbage

metacritic ooh what a what a fun place google says that metacritic is a website that aggregates reviews of different forms of media made be a movie tv show music album and of course video games and i i kind of play a lot of video games if you haven't noticed yet i've known about metacritic for a long while now i've always used this website to find new quality pieces of content i found some of my favorite games of all time through this platform it is a very nice and simple way to see what people think of a specific piece of content very similar to steam reviews if they actually try to make a review and not just write follow me on twitter thank you steam all the reviews basically get added up together and rounded up to an average score from 0 to 10. the idea of a website that collects reviews from a bunch of different sources and aggregates them to a simple clear number is a great idea on paper but it just doesn't work out and this isn't even metacritic's fault for this video i'm gonna solely focus on the user score because this is the one that bugs me the most people just straight up suck for some reason we as a species like to ruin everything there is we like to do what the cool kids say a little trolling a small amount of tomfoolery this website is filled with garbage once in a blue moon you will find a piece of content that only has honest reviews but most of the big boy names have either reviews praising it like an angel or stomping it in the ground because there was a pixel missing there is no middle ground for most people look at the last of us part 2 for example i made a whole video about this back in 2020 but i i looked at the reviews again and bam more than 150 000 reviews and a big chunk of them are this just unfairly slapping a game to death because i i still don't i still have no idea there are people saying the graphics are bad bro did we even play the same game the graphics were okay what do you mean okay the graphics are probably the best part about this game if you want to know my honest thoughts on the last of us part 2 i personally really enjoyed this game i think the story is great i think the gameplay is great and i think the graphics are great it's just a great game but i do completely understand why it was so controversial the story just didn't click with a lot of people and and that sex scene was just why why have this here but even if the story is complete dark doodoo which a lot of people think it is that doesn't mean it is a zero or a two you balance out the good with the bad and then you get an average score like i would be okay if it was like a four or a five but a zero are you kidding me and a lot of these reviews are just people creating a new account to review one game a singular one sometimes you also see an account with two reviews and one of them is really bad and the other one is a 10 because these people don't know how to review games here's another example elden ring it came out a few days ago and i fell in love with it man it is genuinely a fantastic title but the pc port kinda has a handful of performance problems which sucks it really does so because of this i can completely understand if people give it a lower score because of it i think steam reviews do this really well you either say buy this game or don't buy this game from people that have actually bought the game metacritic on the other hand just has a bunch of weirdos trying to push a game down because funny troll troll mode and they use every little thing they get to use it as a point i can't even take this stuff seriously because most of them again just talk about the graphics and say that they're bad did you play the same game as me because this looks kinda [ __ ] beautiful but enough about that let's do a lightning round undertale the graphics are awful horizon forbidden west the graphics didn't impress halo infinite the graphics are outdated metroid red ugly graphics team fortress 2 terrible graphics resonant evil village [ __ ] graphics celeste the graphics look really horrid graphics graphics graphics graphics graphics can you shut up about graphics but the moment you get something like ballen wonder world which is genuinely atrocious you get an incredible platform experience to live i'm pretty proud of having experienced it from an artistic direction to the exceptional level and platforming design from the majestic ost am i supposed to take this seriously i genuinely don't know this website as much as i use it it is just kind of annoying and just filled with with poop just a lot of my advice if you want to buy a game and you aren't sure about it just look up a review on youtube because here you have people who actually want to share their honest thoughts and opinions just like me you should subscribe and hit the like button because my channel was dying [Music] you
