Hei,
i honestly think, that the metacritic score seems kinda weird. many people giving it 0/10, because they are Russians and ignorant and dont like their history, many famous community guys giving it 10/10 (rogers, Hans, Markus, avderoos). cmon guys, coh2 is neither 0 nor 10 points, and we as intermediates to pros should know that. Krebs was at least honest not giving it 10 points.
what are your opinions on that?
I don't consider metacritic a valuable place for rating a game, for a very simple reason: people put reviews there exactly like they open a thread on a forum after a game they lost, writing "OP OP OP, NERF NERF NERF, SHIT SHIT SHIT". It is exactly the same and you would notice it from many reviews where they gave 0, it was clear they just played a game, lost it and got mad. And be sure that the mad people is a lot more than the normal people who would review the game without being biased. (or without being a total fanboy)
But it's obvious, that's because we are talking of a game played mainly in multiplayer, including comp stomps (a game with good basics but still a lot to improve and a good amount of features that have yet to be implemented).
So yeah, instead of giving it 9 I gave it 10 even explaining the reasons in the deep analysis on the press I work to. (useless to post the link, it's in Italian ^^ )
The game obviously doesn't deserve 10 nor 0, in all honesty I would have given it a 9, but after all those 0 I simply gave 1 point more as compensation ^^
Now let's be honest, does COH2 really deserve the 5.8 it received?
