Journey gets a 40, halo 4 20 on Metacritic. Quarter to Three should be removed from metacritic

But he has to be objective with certain aspects of the game like controls, music, presentation, graphics, online etc. There is just no way Halo 4 deserves a 20 no matter how much he didn't like the game. Reviewing (at least professional reviewing) can't be just about whether you liked the game or not.

I don't even know what to say to this. Are you saying reviewers are playing games they don't like and giving them high scores because everybody else is going to give it a high score?

A review is an opinion, there is no way to be objective.

What I meant was that there had to be parameters that decided the score, things like: Presentation, gameplay, graphics, soundtrack etc. The way I see it a game as polished as Halo 4 shouldn't get anything below 50 for all the things that it did right, things that I don't see anyone arguing that were done right. It's just like giving a car review for example, you can't simply give a car a 2/10 because you don't like it. You need to look at things like: Safety, reliability, handling, space, interior and exterior design and so on and then score it accordingly. At least that's how I believe a professional review should be.
