Yes. I’m aware of that. That’s what we’re discussing—that QtT could cock it up for GoW’s 95 score bc they like to troll highly rated games by giving scores far below the avg. 60 for TLoU (MC 95), 60 for Horizon (MC 89), 20 for Forza Horizon 2 (MC 86), and there are NUMEROUS other examples that people have listed earlier in this thread. 

But even if they give the game a lower score, what is the issue? Is a 94 going to make the game unplayable compared to a 95? Metacritic doesn't even say how they weigh each individual site to my knowledge so there is no transparency in that regard.

Why ask a silly question? People wanting a game they’re excited for to review well is not new. And 95 versus 94 is the difference between something unprecedented for a ps4/XBO game this gen and something that’s been previously achieved.
