Call Of Duty MW3 Dev Begs for Help With Low Metacritic User Score - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Clementine;33212704]A few = 900~? This hurts sales, it's as easy as that, why wouldn't they care about that, they worked hard on this product and to lose sales because of the parent company's reputation is devastatingly terrible for them.[/QUOTE] Oh please, now you're being ridiculous. The game is undoubtedly already a commercial success. And you're going to try and tell me that a few user reviews are going to drastically effect the game's sales amount post-launch?

[QUOTE=V12US;33212666] Because magically the game becomes a lot better when you play it. Actually, no it doesn't. It still looks like a shitty console port pulled out of a dusty box from the rejected games shelf. [/i]"[/QUOTE] If you didn't play the game, you have no right to form an opinion about how a game plays

[QUOTE=Spacewolf;33212684]Why are there only 4 critic reviews on PC but over 50 on Xbox?[/QUOTE] Because only 4 bought the game after not recieveing a PC copy.

Here's a better suggestion to avoid 1s, stop reshashing and overmilking the franchise.

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;33212656]Did you play it.[/QUOTE] Yes, I picked it up today and more then half of the content is reused. Warrants a 1.5

Only metacritic's users realize that a scale of 1 to 10 means a scale of 1 to 10 and not 7 to 10... Too bad most reviewers don't.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;33212507]Who cares about Metacritic community reviews.[/QUOTE] Steam uses the metacritic score; so when someone goes to buy it, and they see 1.5, it's going to put them off.

GUYS!HELP US WE KNOW WE'VE BEEN SCAMMING YOU TROUGH THE YEARS,BUT WE CAN'T JUST GET OUR TERRIBLE GAME RATED LOW!THIS IS A DISGRACE!

Valve reuses their content. Why no one talks about that? But I'm a Valve fanboy so I don't see anything bad with. v:v:v

[QUOTE=Amplar;33212770]Steam uses the metacritic score; so when someone goes to buy it, and they see 1.5, it's going to put them off.[/QUOTE] Yeah, about that.. I believe Steam doesn't utilize user ratings as the score. They actually use the Metascore that can range from 0/100 from the critics, and not the user rating from users.. So in event they put the Metascore on Steam for Modern Warfare 3, it's not going to be 1.5, it's going to be the average Metascore from the four PC critics. Which would effectively put it at the 83/100 rating. In other words.. The developer who is asking for better ratings is effectively going to start a greater shitstorm by caring about a few irrelevant reviews that weren't going to be shown in the first place! It sounds more like they cannot take criticism. Or perhaps have a lack of faith in the quality of their game enough to care about a few negative user reviews compared to the commercial success at launch, and the positive reviews from the "professional" reviewing sites.

[QUOTE=Amplar;33212770]Steam uses the metacritic score; so when someone goes to buy it, and they see 1.5, it's going to put them off.[/QUOTE] Its already broke cod records again and someone that wants this pos will know what they're getting into. The Steam score wont matter for mw3.

[QUOTE=doonbugie2;33212741]Yes, I picked it up today and more then half of the content is reused. Warrants a 1.5[/QUOTE]more than half? what the hell are you on about. the only things that were reused were some of the sounds, animations, weapons, and props. Valve does the same thing and gets away with it.

[QUOTE=aurum481;33212788]Valve reuses their content. Why no one talks about that? But I'm a Valve fanboy so I don't see anything bad with. v:v:v[/QUOTE]Because they make a game. New gameplay new story everything is actually new. And then after that they do tweaks in that same game instead of CoD where the tweaks are made for the new game.

[QUOTE=Ogris;33212727]If you didn't play the game, you have no right to form an opinion about how a game plays[/QUOTE] It plays exactly the same as the last four fucking Call of Duty games!

[QUOTE=aurum481;33212788]Valve reuses their content. Why no one talks about that? But I'm a Valve fanboy so I don't see anything bad with. v:v:v[/QUOTE]For one, they don't charge $60 for every new Half-Life 2 game

I'm a bit lost, why does everyone hate Call of Duty again?

[QUOTE=Mad Chatter;33212897]I'm a bit lost, why does everyone hate Call of Duty again?[/QUOTE] COD:MW3 is pretty much the same game as MW2, and quite similar to MW1. The graphics are similar to MW2, the gameplay is essentially unchanged, and there's nothing else to speak of that is different. That doesn't mean the game is unplayable. To the contrary, its a smooth FPS, but entirely mechanistic: you might as well be shooting pop-up targets in between cutscenes. The graphics are pretty bad. I don't know why its so hard to simply produce high quality textures and graphic components and then downscale for the obsolete consoles, but it seems that this game takes the opposite approach: which is why a graphics card that you could buy for $50 four years ago (the Nvidia 8600) is still the required card. Despite what the "recommended" stats might suggest, there's no more eye candy for those with a better system- just higher framerates for those who see 60 frames per second and up. This wouldn't be such an issue if the gameplay or story was involving, but its not. Overall, a mediocre if competent clone.

[QUOTE=Clementine;33212506]You guys are once again being retarded, it is suspiciously low, it is not deserving of such a low score no matter how retarded your opinion on it is. Metacritic user's are just bandwagoning stupids.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure people are doing this to send a signal - that they're increasingly annoyed with the amount of shit that they try and present as the new CoD.

Those reviews dont seem suspicious at all. [url]http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3/user-reviews[/url] They genuinely look like they have come from people who played the game and not just trolls. It is expected that it would get so low reviews by people who paid [b]more money than you'd pay for an average game[/b] to get what is essentially an expensive map and weapon pack. I know some people in my class that got it early for the 360 and said they were returning it asap because they may aswell go and play MW2 or Blops some more. This is the first CoD I didnt buy on release after the last 3, MW2 got boring after a week and Black Ops got boring after a few days, I feel kind of glad I didnt let myself get ripped off again.

i rated it 0

So, people dislike MW3 for being essentially the same as MW2? Tell me, did anyone really expect anything different? I hate to play the Devil's advocate here, but god damn, you people are dumb. No wonder Activision has been getting away with milking the series for so long.

[/B] I hate to play the Devil's advocate here, but god damn, you people are dumb.

[QUOTE=Notanything;33212587]Why not? If the game is acceptable to you, then you shouldn't care about its rating. Nor should a developer be asking the community to raise the rating. If they believe they made an acceptable product, then they should be confident enough to ignore a few negative ratings on reviews.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1080608/8[/url] How ironic. Besides who gives a fuck what the average person that goes on Metacritic likes.

"I don't usually do this but, if u like MW3 go 2 Metacritic.com & help our user score," writes Schofield. "It's suspiciously low. Be honest but help if u agree." Modern Warfare 3 is attracting a torrent of user scores of zero across all three platforms. The current user score (out of 10) is 2.7 on Xbox 360, 2.0 on PS3 and 1.5 on PC. •More Xbox 360 News •Latest Xbox 360 News, Reviews, and Videos more or less in the link ""[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://www.mauricebroaddus.com/uploaded_images/obama-sunglasses-2-795181.jpg[/IMG] And i personally think MW2 Is better then MW3.

I've heard a lot of people complaining that it's essentially MW2.5. People bitch and complain that it's the same game year after year, but the difference between CoD4 and MW2 was fucking incredible compared to MW2 and MW3.

It's not the massively innovative FPS that people make it out to be but it certainly wasn't bad. MW2 was horrible, it took all the good things from MW1 and threw it out the window.

[QUOTE=markg06;33213001][url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1080608/8[/url] How ironic. Besides who gives a fuck what the average person that goes on Metacritic likes.[/QUOTE] I guess I missed that bit back around Portal 2 release date. Good thing I wouldn't have cared either way, since the game was acceptable to me. The position I posted applies for everything, without exception. That shitstorm with the Portal 2 reviews is just as funny as the developer for MW3 asking for more positive user reviews. The irony is undoubtedly funny as well.

[QUOTE=BlkDucky;33212995]I don't think there was a single person on the planet who thought it would be any different from MW2 at all, actually.[/QUOTE] Then why is there such an outpouring of angst toward the game? People are acting like this is the first time something like this has happened.

[QUOTE=BuffaloBill;33213036]MW1 was good. It's not the massively innovative FPS that people make it out to be but it certainly wasn't bad. MW2 was horrible, it took all the good things from MW1 and threw it out the window.[/QUOTE] That's what I meant, I guess. At least the differences were noticeable between MW1 and MW2, but 2 to 3 is apparently just new maps and weapons with a nerf on explosives. At least, that's what I've heard, I haven't bought a cod game since MW2... So what do I know, I guess.
