I think the general idea of what was dicused was lost in translation when this thread was made.
First thing is we dont want to try and enforce our review system upon anybody. Us gathering toghether nd giving an opinion is best when asking for change, because telling a group theres a problem figure it out yourself does not help anybody. It would be best if us and other forums band together and choose a new format to follow, the majority of the public interested in the format, or the reviewers to gather and decide a new format. But a universal standard has to be achived.
We know that even if a new standard is set, clickbait articles will still be dishonest, but the idea was to leave them be dishonest while the new standard makes it easy to know wich are troll reviews. If all else fails this has to be the minimum goal achived. We cannot start demanding metacritic to remove sites cuz at the end of the day some group will have a problem with some site and all sites will be unworthy to be on metacritic.
The perception of the public for a game to be over 80 to be good is a problem and we need to help clarify. 70's should be good for a type of game you like, 80's should be a great score that even if you dont like that type of game, finally games in the 90's shuld be games near perfection that everybody should like, even if its a shooter aand you hate shooters, a game in the 90's should be good to you too. Thats the main problem I think plagues meta's, not low scores, but games with ridiculous high scores. Games that focus on one aspect and disregard the others like focus on gameplay and forget story or viceversa, reviers just give a pass becaue they like what the emphasy was. That should never happen, all it brings is disprobal whe people see a gamen getting a pass on something the did bad then another game getting punish for it.
Some are actually saying that its best to ignore it and they dont care for metacritic. As much as we dont like it, we need something to be the guide, metacritic was chosen by us even if we dint notice and now that its failing us we want to abandon it instead of fixing it. At the rate this is going meta's will die off and with it all reviews. Even if we dont like it, we need tht average, cuz we cannot have any one site do the reviews cuz its only one point of view. I know its not metacritics fault, they only average the results, but they are in the seat of power and they have to either take responsability or quit and let some else try to fix the mess.
There are other problems but Its late for m here and just got home from work, so tomorrow Ill follow my rant
It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.
