hahaha, reading the user reviews is a joke, basically people are pissed and it has gotten loads of 0's which is hardly fair considering no game ever created deserves a 0.

people on meta-critic, for the most part, only go on there to whine and bitch, rarely praise.... unless it's a bandwagon thing.
1) Load the amount of weight I would deadlift onto the bench
2) Unrack
3) Crank out 15 reps
4) Be ashamed of constantly skipping leg day
Considering 2.7 million people bought it week one and that "fact" you posted is a review based on 21 people, I'll safely conclude that your "fact" is a lot closer to crap. If I go logged into WoW right now and asked 21 random people what they would rate WoW, you'd laugh at me for trying to give my test as proof of fact.
The only thing that will tell are the sub numbers, period. If sub numbers plummet, you can call MoP a failure. If they remain the same or raise, I'd call that a success.
You say factual data then link to metacritic. /headinhands

Really? Just an innocent attempt at providing useful data huh? Man, if you're going to come on the forums trying to bait people at least own up to it. The problem with your numbers is they don't compare the opinions of the same people in both situations. The only way those numbers could hold any true significance would be if you had asked 100 people (arbitrary number) what they expected MoP to be and then asked those *same* 100 people what they thought after playing it for a month. The fact that some random people expected it to be good and then another (seperate) random group of people aren't rating it highly means nothing.
In addition... none of it truely matters. At the end of the day all that matters is whether you like it or not. The same applies to a band's new album, or a new movie, or a book. Good luck finding anything that gets 100% positive reviews because the world is full of cynical people that like to hate things just for the sake of hating on them. I don't care if the rating is 22%... if I'm enjoying the game... and I am by the way... then I just don't care.
I thought the relation of
metacritic -> useful critical reviews
was the same relation as
McDonalds -> tasty and healthy food
honestly, metacritic is just haters and their sockpuppets
'Factual data' and 'Metacritic' do not go together.
You want to know why its scored low? Because people who don't even own the game are able to vote.
People who are so childish they have a crying fit over the concept of Pandaren being in the game, or the fact WoW isn't dead yet. People who are still butthurt over the fact Diablo had a rough launch for a day or two (seriously, get over it crybabies, every launch for every game has issues), people who are butthurt that GW2 didn't kill WoW, and general morons who think its funny to downrate games.
Here's some 'factual data' for you. Most people I know consider this to be a good expansion, nearly everyone considered it to be better then Cataclysm, and some people even think its the best ever.
So shut up please. You're entitled to your opinion (which should be based off your own experiences, not what you've been told by others), but you're not entitled to state that MoP is 'the worst expansion ever' based off Metacritic.
'L.O.L'.
IGN = give cash for a good review
I know of alot of games & movies that got bad reviews, but were actually amazing. I never listen to critics as I know what fun to me, if I wanna know about a game I will just call up someone I know has the game or seen the movie & I just ask them about it instead.
I don't always hunt things, But when I do, It's because they're things & I'm a Bear.
I'm well aware, as i'm sure everyone else is, how the reviews process works. You have to put your review out day 1 for the clicks, I get that. Does not make the fact that it's not even remotely enough time to review the product less factual. Reviewing expansions until you have all the content is dumb. Simple as that. Would you judge a season of a t.v show based on 2 episodes?
You asked every person playing MoP for their opinion? Wow nice!
And they are totally trustworthy these days, aren't they?
Professional reviewers have a bias. Its called 'ad revenue'. They are paid to give good reviews, and if they don't get paid then they trash the game. Anyone who takes IGN in particular seriously needs to take a long hard look in the mirror.
Rate it however you want. Its still a better expac than Cataclysm.
I love the xpack so far. As a currently top 10 US guild raider I find the raid encounters pretty well done. The world is beautiful as well, with loads to do.
My very casual wife, who also plays is loving it as well. The heroic dungeons are tuned fine for her level of play, and she's had fun doing the achievements and all the quests ect.
Besides PVP this xpack is right up there. It's sure not burning crusade but there won't ever be another like that. I personally think it beat the death out of wrath and cat thus far. With tons more to come.
People are saying this expansion is bad?
Well crap, there goes all my fun!
Guess it's about time to quit then eh?

So we're suppose to base opinion as fact from 21 people who reviewed the game ? Does that not sound really stupid to anyone else ? Regardless I could care less, I'm enjoying the game and don't need a critic to tell me otherwise. Even then, critics suck and aren't worth taking at face value.
