Opinions on how TCR & FG are dealing with AAMFP criticism

[Quizerno]

And? So people expected different things because of x and y (which I won't get into because this discussion is already tiresome)

And nothing. I was just stating what I thought.

and a massive amount of them are having fits.

Okay.

I've read the comments from people here and on websites and the only way the game would have gotten a better overall reaction was if they had done the same things as from TDD and called it a day.

Sorry but that's the truth, call me ignorant and arrogant. That's not to say that there aren't people who didn't like it for what it was but just that there were a lot of more people that hated because of what it was not.

Sure. Just shows how much they valued the mechanics in TDD, and disliked their removal.

So I ask again, and? Does linking the opinions of others do anything really?

I flat out admitted it doesn't. Hence why I brought up argumentum ad populum (the fallacy). I was just stating what the image DID prove rather than what it didn't.

I have never linked anyone's opinions, much less the conglomerate of opinions that is metacritic (the same place that shows how hilariously overrated a few games are), to back my opinion.

Yeah, I never said you did.

I just stated my opinion as it was and left it there. Why? Cause I don't rely nor give the same level of credit and attention a lot of people give to other people's opinions.

Yeah I figured, I was just stating facts. Didn't say they mattered.

But yeah, the image/reaction does answer a lot of questions after analyzing a few of the reviews and user ''reviews'' but not in the way the poster of those images intended.

That's what I was saying...

Perhaps, if you restrict yourself to just going by MetaCritic; there are far more professional reviews online than those listed on MetaCritic.

These are the scores currently listed in the Info Portal. I suck a maths so if someone could figure out what the mean score would be from all of these that would at least provide a more complete picture of the situation.

One of the reviews gave it an A and another gave it a B+, so I'm not sure how that would translate into a percentage haha.

I used horizontal rules to divide the scores into blocks of 10.

[SPOILERS]

Those numbers are from 90 different reviews, there are many more which don't provide "scores".

I don't really pay attention to the professional reviews (too much conflict of interest), I was only really talking about the user reviews. But your point still stands, not everyone is going to go to Metacritic.
