Twinblade★ 3,906 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) For a second I thought a SW user had died or something But what I liked about gamerankings was their list of latest reviews on the front page, I used it all the time to find reviews for big games and discover smaller games i wouldn't have heard of otherwise. I hope MC implements something similar. Edited December 9, 2019 by Twinblade Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Metacritic bought out Gamerankings? What if somebody made a very fanboyish-attracting website that got alot of traffic. So, like combining a review aggregate site that ALSO provides links to Youtube reviewers, and maybe does an aggregate of keywords to describe a game. And then, comes up with some sort of "hype"estimate by measuring Twitch and Mixer viewing stats, and youtube views to determine what game people are talking about. And then, throws in some sales states from Amazon, NPD, Mediacreate and other places to create an estimate of what games are top-sellers for the week. And then slap a gaming forum on the back of that for the fanboys to fight over that. And then hope that Metacritic buys the website from you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CBS owns both Metacritic and Gamerankings, so they basically just merged GR and its staff into their MC subsidiary. Edited December 10, 2019 by Twinblade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
