[QUOTE=onebit;44626063]Such a shame, a lot of early access games [URL="http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/orion-dino-horde"]get low scores[/URL], even if they make[URL="http://store.steampowered.com/news/?headlines=1&appids=104900&appgroupname=ORION%3A+Dino+Horde&feed=steam_updates"] huge updates later[/URL].[/QUOTE] its still really bad, who cares
[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;44628203] Look at dota 2. People give it a 0 because they lose games.[/QUOTE] No, the large amount of 0s there appeared because of the Diretide fiasco. Valve deserves these however for the terrible communication.
[QUOTE=Spacewolf;44626215]Why do early access games get reviewed?[/QUOTE] Because people need to know if they're worth buying? If you don't want to expose your unfinished game to criticism then don't release it.
[QUOTE=Kljunas;44631053]Because people need to know if they're worth buying? If you don't want to expose your unfinished game to criticism then don't release it.[/QUOTE] A final review put on metacritic should not be of the beta.
[QUOTE=Kljunas;44631053] If you don't want to expose your unfinished game to criticism then don't release it.[/QUOTE] That's the entire point of Early Access games. You gain access to an unfinished game and are able to provide feedback for the developer (even though no one really does it). People like to forget that they are still buying an unfinished product and then complain about the lack of content.
[QUOTE=bdd458;44629481]It's funny because it's true. It isn't a school grade, it's a review grade. 5 is an average game, etc...[/QUOTE] School grades work the exact same way. In my high school, anything below a 65% was an automatic failure.
[QUOTE=Lordgeorge16;44631837]School grades work the exact same way. In my high school, anything below a 65% was an automatic failure.[/QUOTE] There's a reason people see a review scale as a grading scale, because of what schools have taught them. The school system fails again!!!!
