It's not like you guys doesn't know, but I find it absurd that nobody at Metacritic cleans up this mess. I've been looking at the site for COD Ghosts user reviews, and some of the reviews are around 8-9/10, but most takes the 0/10 route. Wii U version is at 3.1 average, Xbox 360 at 2.1 and PS3 is at 1.8.  At this rate they should remove the user reviews.

 

Example:

Reviewers are getting PAID to give 80 and higher people! It's a disgrace to gaming and media as a whole. Ex-IGN employees actually admitted they get paid to give high marks! EA is also notorious to pay reviewers. Metacritic needs to get rid of these false reviewers. Welcome to 2013 where big companies pay reviewers so they make more money and we play uninspiring games. Meanwhile NSA is spying on their people, their allies and the rest of the world to steal information.
PS I've played some single player Ghosts and it's CoD4/6 but with dogs. A disgrace to gaming. How are they getting away with releasing the same game over and? Don't buy it.

 

The game was awarded a 0/10 score by this user.


So..................some people might actually have an honest opinion that the game sucks, and you're mad about that? Fact is, a lot of "pro reviewers" ARE paid to give good scores to games. That's been a going on for the last decade, at least, since gaming go more mainstream. I'm sure some of those folks just hate the franchise, and that is understandable. But if someone earnestly feels that a game deserves a shitty personal score from them, then who are you to say their review should be discounted?
