I'm looking at my friends list and people are wasting their time playing all these random games. I on the other hand have standards and only play perfect games. I'm not telling you what you should play but cmon, why are you not playing better game when time is so limited.
Don't even get me started on 5 out of 10 games. 8s and 9s I approve of.

anyone who cares about review scores should be seen as a dirty casual.

[MiguelItUp]

Not every person likes everything, and people have their preferences. So, people play what is more in line with the stuff they like playing.

That's it, lmao.

 

[existensmaximum]

Low effort trolling.

 

[Pagusas]

Good for your friends for having diverse taste and trying things out.

 

[Exede]

Maybe my taste is saying its a 10/10 for me and not a 7/10 like some tester says it is.
Different tastes are okay

 

[DeVeAn]

And who's standard we using IGN lol!

 

[saintjules]

Ignoring OP now.

 

[IDKFA]

The art of trolling is being as effective as possible within plausible deniability

I think he is a troll. A master shit poster. He'll just post a ridiculous thread and then bail. He hasn't even responded to people in here asking what these games are.

DR3AM the jig is up.

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

If a lot of people play Free Fire or Fortnite, it's not because the game is good... It's because those people don't have money to buy underwear and they look for free games... Because they're poor.

 

[BlackTron]

I think he is a troll. A master shit poster.

Ya think?

I feel like it's the most retarded open secret, everyone knows it but can't help react to his posts anyway, because he knows exactly how to hit pressure points, people just short circuit.

 

[IDKFA]

That's what makes him a pro. People know he's a shit poster, but they just can't help themselves.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Someone take this dudes thread creation rights away.

 

[MMaRsu]

Because people are stupid and love slop.

See movies.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Tch......there are SOME "people" out here playing this:

While I'm up in this bitch playing this:

 

[GymWolf]

Lol, lmao even.

 

[Aressa]

Your 6 is my 10

 

[DarkShadowXI]

Let me enjoy my Taco Bell level standards of video games in peace.

Whatever ur friends are playing and brings them joy- thats fine, no matter if its 10/10 or 5/10 rated game(overall meta/community rating or ur personal rating, doesnt matter really), problem would only occur if they are playing games they arent enjoying- aka they are wasting their time and hard earned money on games that dont bring them joy

As an example i loved that 58/100 metacritic game:

Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness Reviews

Set between the events of STAR OCEAN: The Second Story and STAR OCEAN: Till the End of Time, STAR OCEAN: Integrity and Faithlessness takes place centuries after humans have left Earth for the stars. On a planet in the distant Faykreed star system, the swordsman Fidel Camuze and his childhood...

www.metacritic.com

was genuine 9/10 from my(star ocean fanatic) perspective and i finished it in over 120h including all bonus/postgame content.

While there are some games with well over 90% metascore (example tlou2- 93 meta) i cant stand(only top notch things it got from my pov are graphics/animations).

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Game Pass and Copilot have caused irreparable damage to the intelligence of so many people.

 

[TheFawz]

It's not about playing the 'best' game, but the one you feel like in the moment. Sometimes I don't want an epic narrative driven single-player AAA game, but a quick & easy fun indie title focused on gameplay. The same reason people don't constantly watch the highest rated critically acclaimed movies & shows, but vary their consumption.

 

[EverydayBeast]

7/10 games are fine most games hover around 7/8/9.

 

[MayauMiao]

10/10 is garbage since Gone Home.

 

[acm2000]

so many people in this thread fell for this obvious engagement farming click bait shite

 

[ReBurn]

Because your 6/10 may be my 10/10. I don't always enjoy the most critically acclaimed games, but I quite often enjoy games that the reviewers didn't.

You have to fully embrace the DR3AM NeoGAF experience™

 

[NeonDelta]

Because review scores mean nothing.

 

[Edgelord79]

But I am. Age of Empires 2 is life.

 

[L*][*N*K]

unless a game is genuinely broken and unplayable rating the game is %100 subjective, some idiot born in 2006 who works at IGN gives a game I find interesting a 7 because his gay cat was caught banging a female cat that day is not a meteric I want to base my choices on.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

 

[DarkShadowXI]

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

One man's trash could also be another man's trash. Maybe that other man likes trash?

 

[Spukc]

wooow woooow woooow
What's going on here?

What's happening son?

 

[StueyDuck]

Is this a stealth gamepass thread

 

[Danjin44]

If you deciding games solely based on on "scores" then you missing out some great games.

 

[evolve]

Who says they are 10/10 games? Some pretentious pricks that call themselves journalists ?

 

[cireza]

All the games I play are 10/10. Because only my opinion matters.

 

[yogaflame]

Because reviews are not credible this days especially from kotaku, gamespot, ign, eurogamer, edge, and thegamer. Politics and agenda and woke crap bias. The best reviewer is your own instinct and conscience.

 

[Thief1987]

Is this a stealth gamepass thread

Try the second playthrough before slandering gamepass games

 

[BigLee74]

You have 2 or 3 gifs that you play to perfection every time. Thats praise, but at the same time folk on this forum just line them up easy for you

 

[DarkShadowXI]

All the games I play are 10/10. Because only my opinion matters.

Same here. But a lot of the games I play are still 5-6 out of ten.

Way to go me

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Why are people dating quirky nerd girls where there are soooo many hot bimbos?

"10/10" games & hot girls:

• doesn't give a shit about your preferences
• will always seek attention from an ever expanding audience
• damn sexy graphics at first, but limited mechanics you've seen before

 

[Trilobit]

 

[amigastar]

Fun is subjective and more than just a number.

So true, i personally can't get enough of Civilization VII even if it reviewed poorly and is not recognized as good by Civ fans.

 

[Thanati]

Because they want to. Weird, right?

 

[poodaddy]

Guys,..... he's pretty clearly trolling, several of his threads are structured like this, he's doing a bit. It's kind of his schtick, and honestly he's good at it, so respect. He's making a subtle point I believe, and I truly think that when he makes these threads he's giggling watching everyone think he's serious.

I had a blast with City Crisis (6.3) and Pac-Man 2 (7.3) in my teens. Avoiding games because of their scores just means that you'll rob yourself of experiences that might have been more memorable than the perfect 10s. It's similar with movies where the higher the score the less I often enjoy them because of my personal tastes. In comparison I love scifi/cosmic horror and have often seen 4 or 5/10 movies (IMDB) that I liked watching and which sometimes have "braver" stories than your typical Hollywood productions.

And that's also without me going into superindie games like the ones you find on itch.io. I still remember a walking simulator depicting brutalism. Some of my most mind-bending gaming experiences have come from those niche works.

Sounds like your friends are 6/10s. Maybe you should be upgrading instead of posting this shite.
