FFXIV: ARR Metacritic Scores

[theomen]

no one is saying the game is not good but not having enough servers for there buyers is just plain lack of common sense.

I have to have agreements for both sides of this. Celee, you're completely right in the fact that just "letting this go", will both not fix the problem - and foster the belief that it's alright to continue the same type of non-communication.

However, from the bit that I've played of the actual game, when able to log in - albeit not much, considering my level - it's a pretty darn good game. Everything flows rather well, the scenery is amazing, and so far it doesn't seem too tedious as far as missions go.

I also have to note, Welsper59, you are I don't think correct. The only post I've seen about server expansions had to do with the Japan Data Center, not the NA/EU Data Center. I could be wrong, and misread, but I'm fairly sure that's what the post's title had on it.

People still use metacritic? MMO communities made those numbers mean nothing years ago.

6.8 now and dropping lol by the weekend itll be down to about a 3.0 which is amazingly similar to ff14 1.0, you can say the complainers dont matter but I bet we do :P either way we shall soon find out if SE continues to do nothing but hide, which seems to be their style

I really feel sorry for the people who go to metacritic to decide if something is going to be good before trying it. Probably the same people watching other players stream boring gameplay.

The game is an 8. The infrastructure is a 2. Both matter.

i clicked on "see this persons reviews" on those who wrote negative ones. Seems all of them almost was people who just whine, no matter what games it was :P (one possitive game, 6 games with score 0 etc xD stupid kids is what we call those)

I agree but the fact is Metacritic is used by almost every major outlet for measuring a games quality. Even Steam links its games to Metacritic scores for users who are wondering if they should purchase a game or not.

Metacritic critic scores. Not user reviews. That's a small but key difference
