So I was reading some user review on metacritic, and I basically relearned why user reviews are generally completely unreliable. I know that GW2 has some flaws...but just look at some of these quotes from negative reviews: "Unfortunately this is about the same as Guild Wars 1 so not exactly sequel-worthy." 2/10 "The overflow system is a disgrace. PvE is ripped from Warhammer," 2/10 "It's supposed to be the second coming of Jesus Christ in gaming history. Instead we are left with a game, that tries to do innovative stuff, but unfortunately fail miserably. Once you're past all that shine and glimmer, you'll see the game for what it is: A good RPG. Nothing more, nothing less." 3/10 (a good RPG gets 3/10...really?) "Mediocer graphics, buggy gameplay, server congestion, how can you seriously give this piece of cr** a good grade?" 0/10 "10/10 ? no game is worth 10/10 unless you're a fanboi, specially one with so many basic problems.. It's tries so much, taking the best bits of other games and molding them together but only manages to totally drop the ball. Same old generic fantasy world thats been seen countless times, cutesy WoWlite graphic's that while not bad scream childish." 0/10 Really? Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

Those seem legit *snicker*
If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game. |

There are statistical methods that could be used to get more accurate rating.

The hype generated by 'gw2 fanbois' before launch was huge and a lot of people got annoyed (god know why but hey that's human beings for you) So all the 'haters' were out for revenge but hey unfortunately the game is great, so what can they do? Troll MMOs forums with posts like we can see here on MMORPG right now and post fake 'reviews' everywhere pathetic. even more pathetic when they try to defend themselves with stuff like "I like the game but it has a lot of problems but you know I still care, even if I say it's shite" |

Well thats certainly new, Video gamers being overly emotional over a video game rather than judging it for what its worth.

It is what it is. People think what they think. Just don't let it bother you.
I don't know why it makes people so angry when others, whom they've never met, dislike the game they enjoy. Who the hell cares.

Once again, the users of Metacritic prove why Metacritic shouldn't be used.
I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil |

I love how people use metacritic to prove why a game they dislike sucks, and then turn around and discredit it when their favorite game is being criticized on the very same site. Seems a tad hypocritical don't you think? You know... despite the rabid fanboyism around here, some people actually don't like GW2. Shocking, I know. |

Eh, it's painful to see but not surprising unfortunately. Say you took 5,000 people and put them into a gym and the tone was intended as casual conversation. Who would you hear the most? The few loud and obnoxious types being so for no good reason. Add now the fact they don't have people directly around them and they let to. Look at it as self medicating so they play nice with the rest of us :).
Dear developers, In my humble and inexperienced opinion if I can get through all the content you spent the last 5+ years working on within 6 months you have not done your work justice. Please give me, and everyone else, some tools to create our own content from what you have made so I can stay in your world and appreciate it longer than three weeks before I say "meh". It's a shame and I'd rather not do that to something you put so much of yourself in to. |

Originally posted by scy1987 Did you even read the quotes I posted. It's not that the reviews are negative, it's that they are completely misinformed. Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

Metacritic... also known as... EA's special hangout after (or during) work!
Enter a whole new realm of challenge and adventure. |

I think it nicely counterbalances some of the OTT positive stuff we have been seeing of late.

It's an opinion poll. It's as accurate as it's going to get. You'd have to use something completely different to measure how good the game is. Join the League For Gamers. |
