Gee, Metacritic is such a MESS. You know, they include so many "foreign" reviews. You may look at one game and find tons of reviews from european sites: italian, swedish, german, portuguese, etc etc. Even reviews to imports (chineses, japanese versions) Isn't Metacritic a site completely written in ENGLISH? I don't know but I think all those reviews from outside USA are out of place. It seems to me Metacritic is an american website. Why do they have to include reviews the majority of their readers (americans) won't know shit about since they're not written in English?

horrible, horrible, horrible post.


Why is that? would you be posting here if you didn't understand English? Would you visit VGC if it was written in a language you didn't understand?

You're asking irrelevant questions. Your claim was that Metacritic is an "American" (because English=American) website (internet geography 101. Get those cyber Mexicans out of our borders!!!), and therefore shouldn't include "foreign" (I have no idea why you used quotation marks) reviews.

 

The site includes reviews from all countries, because it wants to give a representation of the overall critical reception of the work. It's not trying to be a critic itself, or push an "American" opinion. It's meta-critic. It's just trying to record what ALL the opinions are, not just American.
