By those standards McDonald's will always be rated higher than a proper restaurant.

For those that wonder, this doesn't mean you don't have the right to enjoy any of the games you love. It means giving game reviews and sales rankings too much credit doesn't lead anywhere but rather stains the love for games. They come in all flavors and sizes, and the fact that some sell better or receive more attention than others says more about their players (and the aspects that hook them) than about their quality.

As for me, there are times when I have an itch for finely polished beautiful games with meaningful and inspiring stories and times when all I care for is starting a quick and brief coop match in some buggy game with friends and have some highly stupid fun together. ๐Ÿ‘

Calling something McDonald's then comparing it to "proper" restaurant was their distinction. I asked a question. Comprehend English better
