but i agree, halo 3 is poop, but then again so are 1 and 2.. i only own it because i was given it
Then you'd say the same about nintendo games, and sony games - the fanboys would ruin it, but the fact is on every game you have idiots giving it a 0 or whatever, but the actual owners of the game are the ones who end up giving it the rating.
EG - say 100 fanboys give it a 0
1000 actual owners give it a 9.
so it gets an 8
Or
100 fanboys give it a 0
1000 actual owners give it a 7.
It'd end up a 6 - see what I'm saying?
On the whole, the better the game the higher user rating it has on meta critic, comparing it to the "press reviews" is a good way of meaasuring hype and it's a major point for me on whether to buy or not.
