P3te Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Metacritic is a much better source for review scores. Red Dead Redemption on Metacritic its not, its horrible it lends more weighting to bigger sites, and converts different scoring systems to %, like a 3 1/2 out of 5 game becomes 70%, when 3 1/2 is actually a very good game its a broken system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu_The_Villan Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I think thats more to do with scoring the game out of 5, for example scoring a game 4/5 could actually be interpreted as 80% whereas if it were scored out of 10 in decimal format i.e 9.6 then it gives a more accurate score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 It's the classic games press vs Metacritic argument. Pretty much anybody in the games media has ranted about it at some point. It doesnt change the fact that Metacritic is a good guide for customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy wants to see a collection of reviews and Metacritic is much better resource than Gamespot for that, hence my link. The argument about why Metacritic's overall scoring and conversions aren't necessarily a good representation of a game's critical reception is irrelevant and there's no need to bring it up.

CastleBromVilla Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 It's normal price in HMV both in store and online, but you get 800 Microsoft Points free, you also get a code for some exclusive in game stuff. One for those that will buying the game for the 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sie Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I recall reading that the HMV in-game stuff is the Warhorse. I was surprised to see that The Hut dispatched my copy of the game yesterday but I'm still not expecting it until Thursday or Friday. I could wait longer too and not be that fussed as I'm still not feeling the hype at all for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastleBromVilla Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Will those that don't buy the game from HMV from example, be able to get the warhorse in game? Or is each little bit of DLC as exclusive as retailers say it is? The free MS points you get at HMV will come in handy too with the release of the second MW2 map pack soon, Splinter Cell Conviction getting some DLC aswell. HMV are giving 800 MS points (or free copy of 3:10 to Yuma on PS3) with standard copy in store at £39.99, if you pre-order on HMV website you get the War Horse and the 800pts.

Ads Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 As a PS3 owner, could somebody tell me what the 360's Microsoft points are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 ' the currency of xbox live' I hate it, it forces you to buy more points than you need, meaning you will be left over with extra points. I'm sure there was a thread on here somewhere about a guy who sued Microsoft about making him purchase points he didn't want, because they are only available in certain amounts.
