EDIT: Also, its odd how Meta chooses what sites to add scores to. Like.. there are reviews that are specifically said to be about both PS3 and 360, yet Meta only adds it to ONE of these (usually 360) and leaves PS3 at lower. When looking at exclusives however, the PS3 has A LOT of more reviews (usually, just see Uncharted 2-3 and Heavy Rain. Now try finding any game with that many reviews). Who makes these decisions? lol Thats also why UC2s 105 reviews and keeping 96 is so insane. Like only 1 single score is in the 80s or something OUT OF 105 whereas 38-39 are perfect xD. UC3 is lucky it got 24 perfect scores and managed to outwin that 5/10 from AV.Club due to it. |
I can shed some light on that bit. Metacritic used to allow scores to be applied to both platforms of a multiplat game, but now he's moving towards a system where each written review will only count for the platform that you played the game on the most. Which platform it applies to is decided by the website. It's the same reason Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward has 8 reviews on PSV but none on 3DS. The publisher gave out early review codes for Vita so even if the writer tried out both they spent most of their time with the Vita version and therefore that's the only platform it applies to on meta.
Hope that helped.
