Terrible professional reviews but 83% positive user reviews

[himmatsj]

This does not compute. See Metacritic. the PC version did not get a SINGLE positive review. Yet, on Steam, 83% of user reviews are positive. Do I smell some shenanigans? Does anyone have a credible explanation for this?

Thanks!

Smells like Crytek did not pay for IGN. Btw, IGN does crappy reviews.

What the hell does IGN have got to do with this? http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/ryse-son-of-rome

don't trust metacritic: they ruin games!

It's an especific game. Imagine someone that hate space stories, and then ask this guy to review a game like "Destiny" he will surely say "crappy game".

Metacritic gives 10 to The last of Us. For me it's a crappy game. :)

I guess people that wouldn't like it on PC werre already warned off by the horrible Xbone version. Just wait for it to be a fiver and a lot more disappoinrted reviews will appear.

Ryse, for me it's better SOM. People complain about ryse "it's a short game" Well, there's a story, you must have skill. Som You have automatic parry/evade. Ryse, don't. And, seems that you haven't played. So...

This. You have a bunch of turds that didn't get free stuff bad mouthing it where the consumer actually appreciated what they received for the money. Not to mention the already flawed concept behind Metacritic in that it grabs specific reviewers... but not the same ones for all products. Therefore if say IGN hates strategy games, but their reviews get pulled for a strategy game... the score will always be lower.

Metacritic is garbage. I NEVER once bought a game or passed on one because of that score.

Graphicly it is the best I have ever seen. Gameplay isn't very good, combat gets very boring after a couple levels. Anyone praising this game as being great or tripple A are either graphics ♥♥♥♥♥♥ or have very low expectations. Story s kinda meh too. It's an OK game that I am kinda enjoying for the scenary, that's about it.
