Metacritic needs to figure out what they are doing.

I know the biased remark wasn't aimed towards me, that is why I had a break in the two paragraphs, I just wanted to put that out there just in case I was accused.

I probably should send an e-mail though to see what bogus answer they hit me with. I just don't see this as being very professional on their part. It seems more of Metacritic being lazy.

They told us earlier this week they gave LBP that score of 80 based on what they read in the review. Now are they trying to tell us that each and every A rated review that they read seemed to lean towards a perfect scoring? I think they never read any of these reviews to begin with.

I find this be unfair to those games that recieve A+ scores. Now what differentiates the two?

Quick correction on this point.....Variety actually gave that score to Metacritic, to put with the review.

This is the note that metacritic attached to that particular review (I guess many LBP fans complained!):
[*Note: All Variety scores are provided to Metacritic by Variety's Games Editor - Metacritic is not estimating here or on any other game review.]

That just tells me the guy who reviewed it didn't give the score but his boss who probablly never touched the game told metacritic what his employee felt.

 

Also worth mentioning is before the claimed the score was provided by Variety Games editor they stated that they gave that score based on what they got from reading the review. Then shortly after they changed it.
