Metacritic has no standards, we need a curated list of reviewers.

[Paatar]

I'm able to watch a game and say " I want that" even if it got horrible reviews. I don't need reviewers to tell me what to buy and what not to buy, I just use them as a perspective on what other people generally think about the game and what they did or didn't like about it. It never wavers my purchase though.
