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

[QUOTE=Kopimi;33219184] The idea that the developers are literally begging the fanboys to flood the Metacritic with bullshit 10/10 scores (I know he didn't say this but come on, as if he really wants them to "be honest") is so fucking hilarious[/QUOTE] it's hilarious in a very sad way.

I think it's silly that he asked people to do this but the reaction has also been just as ridiculous. [QUOTE]LOOL, look at him BEG for positive reviews, what a faggot, I think I am going to take the time out of my day to rate his video game a ZERO, fuck Call of Dooty haha. [/QUOTE] "Gamers" always talk about how the series is ruining the hobby etc then I point to this bullshit. Fighting each other is ruining the hobby. Get over it, if you don't like the game you don't like the damn game.

Who cares about user reviews.

[QUOTE=thisispain;33219254]there's no truth about the game. it's everyone rubbing their dicks together because they are bored and don't have shit to do except go be a dick head about video games and bully the developer about it. this is why everyone hates nerds and it's all just playing into the marketing ploy to earn Activision and EA more money. go fucking ride a bike or find a date or run an online porn site instead of wasting your time arguing about which gray-ish shoot-person game is better than the other gray-ish shoot-person game. this isn't even a political issue, it literally means absolutely nothing and everyone's just going to do the same shit when the new batch of GAME vs GAME happens. plus skyrim is coming out today, hello?[/QUOTE] It may seem like it when you spend so much time on the Internet backwaters, but for most people posting here their lives don't revolve around BF3 vs COD nor do they spend the whole day arguing about it. I'd be surprised if the majority spent more than 30 seconds thinking up their replies to these topics. It leads me to believe YOU are the one taking this too seriously. Relax man, most people in today's society have 8 hours of free time a day after work and sleep, and discussing stuff on the Internet is just one of the things you can spend it on.

the real crime here is those bullshit "critic" reviews being so positive.

[QUOTE=Soda;33219469]the real crime here is those bullshit "critic" reviews being so positive.[/QUOTE] When you drop the critical bias that is calling it the "same game" and actually review it for what it is, CoD games end up being pretty good shooters.

[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] I would rather play Big Rigs than another CoD. I put in MW3, shook my head in desigust and took it out of my xbox within the first 20 minutes. Playing the same game over and over again isn't fun. The single player campaign is cheesey and fully of nationalistic propaganda.

[QUOTE=newbs;33219534]I would rather play Big Rigs [/QUOTE] No you wouldn't [QUOTE] Playing the same game over and over again isn't fun.[/QUOTE] idk why people keep buying CoD games then saying it's bad because its the same thing over and over again. That implies you didn't like it the last time around and still acknowledge that it's the same game Are you stupid?

[QUOTE=Raidyr;33219523]When you drop the critical bias that is calling it the "same game" and actually review it for what it is, CoD games end up being pretty good shooters.[/QUOTE] Oh, so going by your logic, erase the MW2 disc cover and stick a big 3 on the cover, then review the game and yeah it would get pretty good scores lol.

[QUOTE=RagerTrader;33218221]but you just have your head up your ass if you think it deserves anything less then a 6/10.[/QUOTE] If Bioshock 2 is a six out of ten, then Modern Warfare three deserves [I]nothing close[/I].

[QUOTE=thisispain;33219254]plus skyrim is coming out today, hello?[/QUOTE] If you're into that kind of thing... I couldn't give a shit about anything untill GTA V and Mass Effect 3.

[QUOTE=Im Crimson;33219379]most people posting here their lives don't revolve around BF3 vs COD nor do they spend the whole day arguing about it.[/QUOTE] could have fooled me. i'd speak for yourself if i was you. 4channers lives literally do revolve around these things.

[QUOTE=Toyokunari;33219612]Oh, so going by your logic, erase the MW2 disc cover and stick a big 3 on the cover, then review the game and yeah it would get pretty good scores lol.[/QUOTE] No you take the MW3 disk and play it on your platform of choice then form an a critical opinion on what you just experienced. It's not fair to say that a game similar to it's predecessor counts as a negative (or positive) because, and this is going to blow your mind, people might have liked the predecessor. It's a subjective opinion and shouldn't be used to skew a critical analysis of a game, or any artistic medium. To include it in a review implies a background bias that renders the entire review questionable.

Also, "reviews". Reviews are usually unbiased. Something that these here aren't at all.

I saw no begging whatsoever. Asking=/=begging

[QUOTE=LiquidNazgul;33219816]I saw no begging whatsoever. Asking=/=begging[/QUOTE] Its begging, I swear to god IW pays reviewers to give it a good review, because seriously, they aren't getting the point. [quote]1UP Nov 8, 2011 91 I'm glad to say the multiplayer remains addicting and is more [b]balanced[/b] than ever. [/quote] Also, some of those 10/10 reviews make me cringe And to dumbers - I never said it deserved those 0/10's either.

do you nerdes have nothing better to do than whine about a popular franchise? imagine if this much mental energy was put into something actually important.

You guys made a huge circle jerk in just two pages nice job.

Also, some of those 10/10 reviews make me cringe[/QUOTE] It's begging if you go in with the pre-conceived notion that someone related to CoD is asking for something. If you just read his twitter it's a request for help from fans of the game to give honest reviews. What is "the point" How do you feel about the 0/10 reviews?

(If not a 6.) Its the same, maybe if they had put some more content, alright, but the campaign had so many plot holes I couldn't count them all, And multiplayer, again, just adding new maps and a few weapons doesn't make it a game. But like people say, its still addicting to play, which makes it fun. Good on the fun side, bad on the devolopment side. And no, I don't support 0/10 reviews but pretty much 90% of people on the internet rate it perfect or the worst, I guess we will all just have to deal with it, complaining about it, if anything, is just going to make peoples opinions worse.

You guys mind if I post my thoughts about the game? [B][U]Cons:[/U][/B] - Price tag: Console: €60-70 PC(Original): €50-60 - 5 hour long campaign - Models reused alot - Shitty story - Quite forgettable music - Everything is scripted to death - Some parts don't make sense [sp] In the underwater part,you are on something that looks like underwater jetskii, after planting the bomb on the sub and it blows, you throw the jetskii away. How much did it cost? 1-5 million to make?[/sp] - Same shitty multiplayer with the shitty hit detection [B][U]Pros:[/U][/B] -Price tag PC(Russian jewel case version that includes a real steam code): €15 - P99 and USP sound nice

suck it up and admit your game is garbage

[QUOTE=bull3tmagn3t;33220200]suck it up and admit your game is garbage[/QUOTE] It's hard for a CEO of a development studio to do that when your game sells 9.3 million copies in the first 24 hours and averages a 9 on Metacritic.

Price tag is sort of wrong, yea... 5 hour long campaign, sorta, but then again, its not really a SP game. Models aren't reused that much, especially when lots of them are completely different or even new. Story isn't that shitty, but again, its mostly a MP game. Music being forgettable is your own opinion. I find it to be quite nice. Every game nowadays is scripted. (show me one that isn't) Really? Everything is being blown to hell and everyone is dying and youre worried about saving some jetski thingy to carry it... where? Again, an opinion. I like it, and the hit detection is as good as cod4's. /Opinions [editline]10th November 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Raidyr;33220246]It's hard for a CEO of a development studio to do that when your game sells 9.3 million copies in the first 24 hours and averages a 9 on Metacritic.[/QUOTE] And shows how "bad" the game is, and how there are millions of idiots, apparently. OR, people that like things other people don't like...

[QUOTE=Raidyr;33219259]Actually he told CoD supporters to be honest and rate on Metacritic. He never said he wanted 10/10s (despite a lot of reviews putting up 0/10) and there wasn't really begging, more like asking for help. I'm pretty sure other developers have done this in the past, and I actually wonder now what would happen if someone from Bethesda or DICE asked their supporters to do this.[/QUOTE] Any company that does this is pathetic; if you don't want shit reviews, then connect with the community, understand what they want, and give it to them. For example, in regards to Call of Duty, personally (and I think a lot of people will agree) I want some actual innovation, for them to make a big leap again like they did with CoD 4, also I want them to bring their engine and assets up to the current level of technology. At the moment there's no innovation, so why should I buy MW3 if it's just MW2 with different kill streaks, guns, and a different shit story for SP? Then again, I suppose it's hard to innovate when you have less than two years to make a game, so it's probably as much Activisions fault as the developer's. Also, just because people are making "fake" low score reviews doesn't mean people aren't making fake high score reviews. Heck, even some of the "official" reviews seemed like they were paid off or just plain stupid.

[QUOTE=dass;33219788]Also, "reviews". Reviews are usually unbiased. Something that these here aren't at all.[/QUOTE] These reviews are a lot less biased than the majority of professionals. Read through a few entries [URL="http://gamejournos.com/"]here[/URL]

[QUOTE=Ray-The-Sun;33220355]These reviews are a lot less biased than the majority of professionals. Read through a few entries [URL="http://gamejournos.com/"]here[/URL][/QUOTE] Metacritics reviews? Made entirely of negative reviews with negative things and not even a single positive thing along with a "play bf3 instead" or even the initials bf3 in every review? Thats as biased as you can get, with 0/10 scores.

They have connected with the community and understand what they want. The game sold 9.3 million copies in the first 24 hours, almost double Black Ops. The fact of the matter is that the people crying out for "innovation" in CoD are the vast minority compared to people who see it as the reliable go to shooter year after year. The series barely changes but meets a 33% increased fanbase every year. The amount of people who like CoD for what it is far outstrips the people that demand a brand new product. Maybe I am old fashioned but I prefer reviews done on games based on merit of the game itself and not how much it "innovates". Yes Mr. BF3 avatar the engine isn't the latest or greatest but it's definitely still adequate, and plenty of CoD fans would agree with me that they would strongly prefer that CoD maintains the fluid movement and tight gunplay that is afforded by the highly modified Q3 engine the Modern Warfare series uses. Also I never said people weren't faking high scores, in fact I agreed with you in a roundabout way by asking why anyone would care about community reviews on metacritic.
