So i made similiar threads like this before but this time i have hard proven facts how Metacrtic is an unfair and abussive system against Japanese games.
Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 didnt even come out in the US or any western country yet Metacritic allows Reviews which is against their own Rules. Games who arent released in the US yet or never will shouldnt be reviewed, thats how the common logic should be right? Metacritic is owned by Gamespot which located in the US thats why this rule aplies i think.
You can see for example that Star Ocean or any game not released in the US dont get a Review despite being avaible in Japan. Yet with DoAX3 its treated differentley? Why?
Now some of you will say: well thats because this game is translated into english thats why it applies for Reviews now on Metacritic.
Well look at Gundam Extreme VS Forces

this game is playable in English just like DoAX3 duoto having an Asian English Release. So where are the reviews for that game from Metacrtic?
And you can clearly see how the Reviewers for DoAX3 clearly have an agenda. Otherwise they wouldnt have reviewed this nieche game which hasnt gotten a western release in the first place.
While other western sites who maybe are more neutral or postive about these types of games dont really care because it hasnt released yet. Its clear that sites like Destructoird want to make a smear campaign against this game, why else did they put all this effort importing, playing and asking Metacritic to apply their review thats shouldnt be applied? And why does Gamespot/Metacrtic allow reviews for this game not avaible in the west?
Do you see my point now? how Metacritic doesnt have any trancsparcy in not only what kind of Reviewers are allowed, what countries these reviewers must come from but even what games released and where to be reviewed?
And just with my previous thread i have to point out the lack of Japanese and other Asian Reviewers to review Asian exclsuive games devoloped in Japan. Where are Famitsu and 4gamer.net?
Yet evryone thinks Metacrtic is a reliable source for japanese games?
