Message: [QUOTE="UnDubious, post: 219828, member: 4030"] No. There's a solid minority of people who like RPGs, who've played Clair Obscur, and think it's a bit overrated. 7 isn't a terrible score. I know people in real life who don't think Elden Ring is any good, for example. The same applies to any beloved game. I want the Internet to represent what people really think, not to have "official truths" about subjective matters to where anyone who doesn't fall in line has to diminish their own opinion by calling it a "hot take" so people don't come after them. Metacritic is a garbage invention because it pretends numbers mean anything in something as unscientific as some reviewers' appreciation of a game. A 80% score from one publication doesn't mean the same as 4 stars from another. Some people think 6 out of 10 means it's unplayable and 9 just means "good", some people give 1/10 to anything they get a little annoyed with and 10 to anything they like, etc. And that's before talking about how all those sites are both corrupt and how a lot of them talk to each other in group chats and agree on shit before they write their own reviews. A review is only useful if 1)it's in good faith, 2)it's knowledgeable, and 3)you read it. The score is an approximative bs summation of some guy's feelings. The real meat is in the text. If it's well-written, and you're not dumb, then you'll understand where they're coming from and be able to decide what those criticisms and praises mean for your own tastes. [/QUOTE]
