Playstation [OT] God of War | Ragnarok is the finale in the Norse saga

An 82 is excellent with caveats. Based on that alone, an 89 should be amazeballs

Ummm Splatoon 3 isn't even out yet lol.

The Switch is the best selling console and Nintendo is making more money than even Nvidia. The game is far from over haha

Sure, but they're mobile games, not console or PC games lol.

Also, it's no surprise that new phones are more powerful than a 5 year old console that's also a handheld device. The Switch successor will likely happen in a year or two

Except that Splatoon 3 isn’t going to cost $20. Try to stick to your own logic for once

Metro Exodus is a $60 game in the US

Regional pricing rep
In fact, I actually shared it for free with Chandoo, who, despite living in the US, paid $20 for it

The primary regions for AAA games are the US/EU, and it costs $60 there

hahahahaha

That’s what makes the 82 irrelevant for people who pay less.

But puts both games in the same price bracket, regardless

Not if you don’t have to pay that same price, despite being in that region.

For people who paid $60, the 82 is relevant to them only

So you mean it's relevant only to the vast majority of people who bought the game? Okay

Definitely in the same price bracket, then

I don’t know who paid what price for it

I know what the official price was at launch in the biggest markets for AAA games

I pay less than $30 for an annual PS Plus sub, yet you nevarrr forget to remind everyone how the official price on the PS Store is $60

Your mistake is thinking that reviews apply to everyone who isn’t even paying the same price for games

I also say that Game Pass sub is still $10/month, even though I got it for free

Your mistake is thinking that reviewers aren't aware of the official price tag and don't factor it into their verdict. A $20 Cyberpunk 2077, for example, may actually have received that "Must Play" badge

I mean, if every reviewer gives cost any meaningful significance, then it follows their verdict isn’t applicable to anyone who didn’t pay the same price as it was judged for

Which is why reviews sometimes mention stuff like "pick up on a sale" for games they don't perceive as having good value for money at their launch retail price. Your fav AngryCentaurGaming even hands out a rating that says as much, and he's credited on your fav Opencritic

“sometimes”
Not certified on Metacritic.

What a strong argument.

I mean, it's not often that publishers choose to over-price their games, so "sometimes" is right

You have issues with Nintendo's pricing, but clearly game journalists disagree in most cases, Metroid Dread being a recent example

Not on Metacritic, but on the aggregator site of choice for the individual I'm arguing with

How about your own ideology?

Both ideologies have pros and cons as far as I’m concerned
