I guess it's preference.

Yeah but metacritic doesnt include japanese or asian reviers in their score, its a highly biased prefernce from the start from a site who claims representing the whole world. 

Its only western reviewers who are allowed and from them the majority are anglo-american sites. I havent even seen a german site on metacritic

You mean an English language site focuses on English speaking people and English language sources? :o What madness is this!?

No where it states it is like this. Its a fact that metacritic is wrongly viewed as the global score. If they would focus only on english they wouldnt allow any none-english sites but they do. But its limited and some languages arent allowed like japanese. It should be obvious by now

No where does it say it's any other way. And considering I can't see any options to change the language on the site it's fair to assume that it is aimed towards English speaking people.

Besides, why do you think some languages 'aren't allowed'? Could it not just be that no reviewers using that language have bothered to apply? I mean, why would they? It's not as if their reviews being shown to people that can't understand a word they are saying is going to increase their traffic at all.

I know that for a fact because you can see sometimes famitsu in some reviews. I think they add famitsu later when the western reviewers are allready done.

But if you look at japanese games who arent released in the west normally famitsu and other japanese sites should have the review out first because it released in japan first right, but they dont show up? The conclusion is that they only add famitsu if there allready done which is also rarley by the way, and no other japanese sites i have seen besides famitsu. And you dont see any other languages from none-western sites. Is this coincedence? i highly doubt it
