Here's the thing though. Since eurogamer doesn't use half points anymore, their scores on MC jump straight from 60 (3 stars) to 80 (4 stars). A 70 mathematically doesn't exist, and if I'm not mistaken, I've not seen them give a 70 after they switched to the 5 star system.
All this could be avoided if they revert back to a 10 point system like any normal human being.
Eurogamer being the odd one out (for the 6th time this year) single handedly made Phantom Blade Zero's overall score go from a 91 to 88, simply because they use a 5 star system.
Based on their own words: A 3/5 star review means "a positively leaning review" but the issue is metacritic forces that into a 60/100. It works as a standalone review, but in a shared aggregator like Metacritic, it actively kills the math, and can tank an overall score. And they've done it multiple times this year.
@GermanStrands If youโre going to do a side by side comparison, at least use matching clips. How can you compare windy waves to calm ones? And then show shooting at trees vs shooting at a ship.

@TheStickz Damn, how is that even possible. The game for me only uses about 30-40% of GPU usage. It's a well optimized game. Well the Remaster that is. Play that, not the OG.
Finally starting Bioshock Infinite!
Been holding off on this for the longest time. Bioshock 1 is one of my favorite games of all time. Bioshock 2 was decent, however it's finally time to experience the 3rd.
@DepravedSlasher Normally, a person could see how someone might interpret a joke through text on a screen, but there's LITERALLY nothing in your wording that suggests that.
0/10 joke.
