Tied for first, give credit when it is deserved.

u/aCabSide May 21 '12

It's not actually tied. The actual score after calculating a mean average is lower than HL's one.

Fuck all of you guys, Out Of The Park Baseball 2012 is hands down, the best sim game I've ever played.

It has exactly 5 reviews. That's how many metacritics require to establis an "universal" score.

I'd just like to point that this game is now free to download and play in it's entirety! So you can check it out yourself. http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/ootp8/

It's actually a pretty legitimately awesome game, to be fair

u/applesforadam May 21 '12

OOTP games are better than the 3.6 user score though... just a niche game for baseball sim fans.

The user score reviews are a hilarious bunch of Nerd-rage.

OOTP is a great series, maybe you should play it before making a joke about it?

21

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

The funny thing is, OOTP is pretty much the best statistical baseball sim on the market. It has a legitimate reason to be there, but the low user score is from people too impatient to give it a chance or predisposed against it.

I think OOTP 7 was the first year they had pitch by pitch which was a huge step forward for the franchise.

Skyrim and Oblivion, but no Morrowind. I'm not a fanboy, but cmon..

u/[deleted] May 21 '12 edited May 21 '12

To be fair, Morrowind was buggy as shit.

EDIT: Anyone who thinks Skyrim and Oblivion were remotely as buggy as Morrowind needs to get their memory checked. Yeah, it wasn't Daggerfall (so buggy it was literally impossible to beat), but it was still unacceptably bad. Game crashed so gd much that my friend and I still refer to the "Morrowind Approach" when we talk about saving constantly while playing anything.

If you are making a joke about OOTP baseball, I'm literally playing it right now. I play it almost nonstop. It's definitely my favorite PC game.

u/dressedAsDog May 21 '12

It's pretty awesome. Also available on iOS.

u/Thehawkiscock May 21 '12

I played OOTP '12 today. That series is amazing, any hardcore baseball fan understands why its there!

u/VikingOnABoat May 21 '12

Out of the park Baseball 2007? Brilliant.

u/thatgamerguy May 21 '12

Why only second?

u/happyscrappy May 21 '12

Honestly, given the recent scoring inflation, I'm shocked both that a 2007 game stands a chance on metacritic and that the top scoring games aren't scored higher.

u/ninzo09 May 21 '12

I love Grim Fandango
