| gekkokamen said: AND...how exactly does Metacritic work???? I have noticed they choose (at random? wtf? what?) which reviews to include for a particular game? I mean, destructoid for example, they have written reviews about games like GTA4, MGS4, Assassin's Creed and AC2, however none of those reviews figure on the metacritic page...why may I ask? The metacritic system is faulty, is fishy, and is by no means the bar any game should be measured by. It's a good recollection of reviews, that's it. That metascore means shit. |
Sites are checked before being allowed on metacritic. You have to provide details about your site, the history, the traffic and so on. AFter a while you are accepted, but you have to submit the reviews (with score and link) yourself. They then add it to the game it applies to.
If destructoid isn't appearing in basically every game and IS appearing in this game, then that's because they 1) didn't review the other games (but you say they did), so it's number 2) they decided to submit their review for Heavy Rain while they didn't do that for other reviews.
