3 Reviews added total now 89 Critics

GameOver.Gr 100,
New York Daily News 100
4players.de 90

So bascially stuck at 95 now. Unless you get 4 more all below 80 then 95 is the minimum meta at this point.

What'll it take to get to 96?

Not sure, but they are close, 2-3 100 perhaps.

I would agree, except the QuarterToThree guy's recent comments make me nervous. He seems like he's ready to swoop in with a 4 or 6 out of 10 score.

What comments?

He mentioned he wasn't even aware of its existence but now he sees that it has a pretty good meta. Just felt way too cryptic given the way he has trolled high meta Sony exclusives in the past.

Hope it can get some more 10/10s, I think the QT3 guy is striking soon. Hopefully not with anything worse than a 60, or its meta is screwed. 

Any reason why?

He just made a comment that he didn't even realize that GoW was being released.  

Wow, just wow. I ask again:  how the hell is this guy accepted on MC? He doesn’t realize that one of the biggest releases of the year was releasing? And for Horizon, he did his review nearly 3months after Horizon released. This guy isn’t a true gamer, let alone a true critic.

More like 7-8

Tem certeza cara? Sete notas dez! Acho que isso ja colocaria o jogo na casa do noventa e sete.

That 90 would have to carry a hefty weight on their scale. Doesn’t look like it did.

The weight thing on metacritic is stupid. That's why Opencritic is better imo.

Nope. 

So basically you are saying that one guy reviewing his first game, or a publication that has a small gameing section like forbes run by one writer should have the same weight as gaming publications/sites that has done nothing but gaming for the last 10-20yrs?

Lets be honest here, who would you sooner listen to, random guy called bobsgaming that came out of nowhere and gave Zelda/Halo/Uncharted a 7/10 or IGN that gave it a 10/10 and even had a vidcast elaborating on their review of the game?

wait.... a game reviewer is not even aware of the existence of a game called GOW.......

and some wonder why these things are weighted by metacritic.

Why is he even allowed to review games?

I think there has to be some sort of standard or something met be outlets to make them even qualify to review games. Like a registery of sorts.

What else has QtT reviewed infamously badly? They didn’t review Uncharted 4 that I saw. And taking until May to review is ridiculous. I don’t see how that’s even allowed. You can have so many things spoiled by that time. 

He gives 40s to every civilization game, gave a 60 to Horizon, a 60 to Uncharted 2, 40 to the witness, a 20 to Forza Horizon 2, 40 to Infamous second son, 20 to Beyond two souls, 20 to Halo 4, etc...

Seems like an ass to me, you can check his reviews on meta here, don't really know why meta has him considered, his site doesn't seem like it has many fans 

http://www.metacritic.com/publication/quarter-to-three?filter=games&page=0

When he gives a 100 to a game like spintire (67 MC) but can give a 20 to Company of Heroes 2 (MC 80), FH 2 (86) and Halo 4 (87)... 40 to journey (92 MC)...

His scores are totally out of touch with reality.

Metacritic has some critereas to consider reviewers, but they aren't really that strict with some shenanigans.
