From what I've heard, they're easily influenced, prone to inflate scores, there's rumors of them taking bribes and stuff like that.  Basically all the things western games journalism suffers from minus the wests tendency to try and shove politics and social issues into reviews and articles.



If they suffer from all the same bad things minus one, my claim is therefore supported, right? I said they had more credibility.



I guess...they're both pretty bad though.  It's why I don't see metacritic scores (or journalism scores in general) as anything more than superficial numbers that fan bases use to parade over others.  I mean, they're nice to see as a novelty and when they conform to your opinions but in the grand scheme of things, they shouldn't count for anything considering the sad state games journalism is in.
