Help me find a review scores thread

Post by Erik_Twice »

I remember we had a thread in which a member posted an article about review scores and how they were too high and such.

I remember saying that it was kind of hypocritical because I looked back their scores and they had only rated four or five games below a 6 in 200 reviews.

Do you guys know which thread was it? I can't find it :?

No, no, it was not a thread driven by me, I just commented on it. It was also fairly recent, at least newer than those.

No, it was not that one either.

The thread simply had a link to an article about how game scores were too high and I simply commented on the hypocresy of it. I don't think it was a long thread either, it died very soon.

Sorry man.

Have you tried the Search function?

Sounds like a thread General_Norris would be interested in commenting in. Might want to ask him.

No, it was not about any particular game but about game sites not giving enough low scores or rating too high. It was a mid-sized website, not particularly well-known IIRC.
