I'm happy being a number on Metacritic

Bitmob Community Writer Tristan Damen realizes his goal of getting a review listed on Metacritic, but does that mean he's aiding in the destruction of the industry? Probably not.

I think the issue with Metacritic is less that it exists and more the importance that people put on it. It's crazy that people's jobs can depend on something as simple as a Metacritic score.

Dante1124820d ago (Edited 4820d ago )

I think the problem is that too many people depend on metacritic or reviewers in general when it comes to deciding on whether to pick the game up or not. Not many gamers decide for themselves anymore, which in turn, hurts a few new IP/genres that come out that probably aren't bad at all (Reviewer opinions affect sales). Metacritic can really make or break you, which kinda deters most developers and publishers from innovating too much.

Metacritic hurts the industry. The best thing you could do if you care at all about the industry is not visit that site. Just look at what happened to Obsidian as a direct result of Metacritic.

It was a cool gamble imo. In reality, everyone were waiting for Namco version, Tekken X Street Fighter.

I don’t know. I enjoyed this game. I thought it was a great crossover.

TricksterArrow755d ago (Edited 755d ago )

Yep, played very little of it, but from what I played, it was serviceable enough. Could've been better? Yes, but then again, you can say that about pretty much anything.

What killed this game was their planned reliance on GaaS with the whole gem system. It made little sense and made the game extremely unbalanced. Not to mention the unbalance of most of the characters, especially on the Tekken side

Sgt_Slaughter755d ago

Ahhh the game that Capcom had DLC on the disc on release yet you had to pay to unlock it

Street Fighter & Tekken - A Mash-Up Not Meant for Greatness

VGChartz's Daniel Parker: "Tekken and Street Fighter - two giants of the head-to-head fighting genre. A clashing of decades-old titans that was once thought to be a dream matchup that would never happen. It ignited a flame of excitement that quickly fizzled out and became a cautionary tale for game developers."

The inclusion of gems ruined it from the start.
