Lol. This happens all the time with games like this. Happened with Gears and Resistance if I remember rightly. Most people will know to ignore the user reviews, especially if they're checking on the game this early as they'll probably be like us and reading up on the game as much as possible.

Some people are just very sad.

But since it counts towards average, it might negatively affect the game in the end. User reviews are almost as important as press reviews.

They really aren't, at least not on metacritic. If it was a site that actually sells the game like Amazon or Play then it might have an effect, but I doubt many people are going to look so carefully at user reviews on metacritic. They're there to look at a general consensus based on reviews from game critics.

Most people that know of metacritic should also know that user reviews on the site are next to worthless.
