Is the issue Metacritic, or is the issue the individual reviewer? And if I have the right to dictate a standard to someone, what's stopping them from dictating to me? In the current modern world of web ads and websites if someone doesn't deserve your attention, don't give it to them. Have a nice day.

Both : Some individual reviewers are not honest, and Meta is doing not that much to improve things; also it's not realistic to think that we all stop giving visibility and attention to these smaller sites by clicking on their link, 'cause often these reviews that massacre an exclusive game from Sony, MS or Nintendo, will be clicked  by many fans of the competitor console and are posted to flout the game in question, just to give an example.

I agree with you that we shouldn't give them attention, but in the end people will continue to click, sadly.

Now, don't get me wrong.  When a change needs to be made, something needs to be done.  But setting one's standards over another is at best subjective.  Just remember: double-edged sword here.

 

EDIT: Actually, the best way to tackle this is to create your own website/reviews and start/reinforceing a positive trend.
