Your argument was that Metacritic fairly aggregates without bias every review score and averages it out to a single score.
I then stated that if that were true, then there would be more websites like Metacritic spawning around the internet, and there wouldn't be math gurus out there trying to "crack" their secret…

No, that is how Metacritic works in averaging their scores. The more popular or important a website is, the more weight it will hold in their averaging process. Everyone who took a crack at figuring out Metacritic's formula knows this. Even Metacritic itself has unwittingly admitted that they put more stock into…

If this model worked, then it would of been utilized at some point in our history. Sans volunteer work, which is just everyone being paid nothing, I don't think this model is feasible financially or ethically.
By ethically- like some people have stated before me, there would BE no motivation to do a good job.…

Yeah, but that is irrelevant to Nintendo. Important thing is that they did their stream, which took all but 20 minutes of their time, and it's right back to business as usual.
No fancy booths, no reporters, no demos, no 30 million conferences, just a simple stream.
Little money is spent.
Little staff taken off projects…

I never even defended Rare or Banjo Kazooie in this conversation. I'm not even talking about the quality of the Nuts and Bolts game. I was simply talking about the score you claimed meant half good half bad.
I am however saying that people like you who utilize Metacritic as a go to source for review scores are the…

I don't really see Sony and Microsoft doing this in the near future on the simple fact that they are too busy trying to one up each other at cons. It seems that Nintendo is just enough left field for who they cater to, that simply doing a live stream would have no effect on their stocks or perception what so ever.

I agree whole heartedly about the Nintendo Direct tactic.
I was far more excited to see Iwata live from Japan himself then to see reporters at the E3 conference.
For Nintendo it's a huge money saver and very efficient.

No, it's not a good site. It's an averaging site that puts up an all around score for people too lazy to go to the actual review sites and look at ALL of what they have to say. Especially considering how some websites have more weight then others.

People like you are the reason why that website has been labeled the…

She actually got more delusional. She isn't here to debate anything. I gave her the definition of feminism from at least 5 different sources and she shot it down as nothing but spoonfed, feminist propaganda.
I'm not going to lie. There are some flaws with feminism at the moment. For instance there is a small, yet vocal…

I'm confused...what are you getting at?

It seems that the videogame devs are fucking death.
This is exactly what Gabe Newell has been saying for years and people still don't get it. Videogames have become increasingly more inconvenient to "combat" pirates.
All it has done in the long run was make things miserable for paying consumers.

Are really going to use fucking Metacritic to rate a game? 79 is just shy of 80.
One more point and you'd be saying a good majority of reviewers like the game.

Nuts and Bolts was a good game, but it wasn't a Banjo-Kazo0ie game. Many Banjo fans will tell you that.
Many will agree that it should've simply been a new IP. Instead they just slapped the old IP on it and called it a day.

That's what the current Rare is now. They didn't just die like all good companies that go bad.
They just keep pushing out games not even worthy of the legendary title of being a Rare game.
Grant Kirkhope, all those people who made Rare Rare left years ago shortly after Viva Pinata.

Yeah. She keeps saying "feminists want this/that" when I can easily bring up various evidence that negates that fact.
Let's just say she also has a personal vendetta against FemShep over the simple fact that 99% of her lines and actions are similar to MaleShep (due to them just being simple player avatars.)
The end…

Most of the original staff has left.
They have spent most of their time now making Kinect Games. I don't really trust this Rare Studio.
Don't be fooled. This is not the same studio that we grew up to love in our childhood.
This is a husk of a company.

I am indifferent.
Like all lingerie's it's supposed to hug all the right places until you can't do anything but take it all off.
Yes.

Ah, Geez. That's horrible! Not something I would use as a joke for a thread one doesn't like.

The only time I've known of men wearing bras is when they have man boobs due to being overweight, or they have some disorder wear they have expanded breast tissue that usually gets fixed through surgery.

I have argued with this person before. This dude/gal is not a troll. They legitimately believe what they are talking about.
