Sorry those were separate points, perhaps that wasn't clear. Joystiq didn't impact metacritic but anyone who only reads joystiq will have come away with the impression that Nier was worthless.
Also the reviewer wasn't fair in the slightest. The fair thing to do would have been to give it to someone else who can actually do their job. Or own up to your mistake, restart the game and try again. He was in fact only 4 hours into the game. I have already stated why else. In any other industry you would either lose your job or be severely reprimanded. But it's game 'journalism' so oh lol it doesn't matter.
