Any reviewer who doesn't want an inbox that is 100% hate mail will stick to text only.

Thats said, you still get a crapload of it.

 

 Lol.. good point. But the site wants to be publicised and get traffic instead of... well forming from being a trusted and good review site...

I mean I understand their point of wanting more traffic but as a member I'd rather the site get the traffic by just being honest and writing well thought out reviews than people just looking at scores.

 

Read the reviews and then make up your mind about those things.

It's not a case of either/or. We can have good, honest, reliable reviews and score them. The content of the reviews doesn't suddenly become unreliable because we add a score at the end.

 

 My point was with scored the site is focusing more on trying to get traffic right?

But think about it. The traffic you get will be from people just scrolling to the bottom of the page to see the score then signing up on the forums to either post "This score is stupid this site sucks" or "This game is awesome yeahs!!" The majority of people browsing metacritic are just looking at scores and not reading the reveiws. (Unless they see a review thats really high or really low)
