BeefJack writes: "Metacritic have finally allowed users to review Duke Nukem Forever – over four days after the game was released outside North America. After the negative user reactions on the site to Dragon Age II and Portal 2, were Metacritic trying to avoid the controversy of another organised backlash from the public against a game that’s dividing opinion to say the least before it hit US stores?"

Lots said Portal 2 had no replay value.... ive played the game 3 times :/
Probz wat he was getting at hehe
It's scary how on the mark you are lol.
Shit, these people are freely allowed to have sex and make babies and pass their sub standard genes on to the next generation too(my wife just explained it all to me-I was appallled and am now apoplectic)-what will they do to user generated scores THEN.think of the future and of you OWN kids!
You are right Democracy is so terrifying. I would much rather have just one person tell me what to do and how to do something.
Why should I have to listen to all these other people's poor opinions when I could have a non-democratic experience and have just one person tell me what is good! Then if I only have to listen to that one person then it won't be so scary for me.
*cough*
Take it how you choose, but it isn't my intention to be disrespectful.
If I make a review for Halo 4 saying "Milked Green Rangerz iz dumb 1/10" please shoot me. The user reviews aren't reviews, they are idiotic comments 99% of the time. Read N4G's user reviews. They actually have thought and substance. You can hate and rate a game a 1/10 all day, but don't write a review like you would write an icanhascheeseburgers meme pic. IZ DAT 2 MUCH TOOO ASK, NO?
nukacola
user reviews on anything are hard to trust. when a ps3 exclusive comes out xbox360 fanboys rate it lower and when xbox360 exclusive comes out ps3 fanboys rate it lower
end of the day that's the main reason most big media sources don't take gaming serious
Bubbles for that, made me lol.
Both system of metacritic are a joke . INstead of using the same limited pool of trusted review sites , it's a full on orgy of no name sites being randomly added by users to make up a score .
When a game got 50 reviews sites scores gets a 80 , while another gets 90 via only 20 sites , you know there is a problem
Obviously, the professional critics can give better ratings, but for the troll Joe: No, he only give a 0 or 10 rating in any case. Look at this pathetic rating on Portal 2!!
"I was waiting for this game for about a year. I am a big fan of the original portal.Actually the game is OK, but it is not a sandbox anymore like Portal 1. Everything is scripted. If you throw the cube it will 100% fall in the right place, the portal will open in right place, laser beam will hit its target, etc. This is why I do not like portal 2. From the other side, the game is good. A+ high quality puzzle. Levels are hard enough but not too hard. Interesting plot. My mark is 0 only because it is too scripted. I loved portal 1, and I hoped portal 2 would be the same..."
Now you can tell me the 0-10 rating works better.
Now we need to get Colonial Marines, BIA:Furious Four, and Borderlands 2 out and then we can pretend that none of this ever happened.
Keep in mind that a lot user reviews are either trolling or have no idea what they are doing.
Gah, apologies. All I'm trying to say is that no-one ever used to care about user reviews. Why are they so important now?
Hail to the king BABY!!!!!!!!!!
