Metacritic is a flawed but valuable system. I think that the mentality of gamers that anything that receive a metacritic of less then 90+ is sign of a bad game is the bigger problem. Gears of war series doesn't cater to everyone and you will always get reviewers that have no love for the gears series and will be let down.  

I think mopst of us will agree that Gears 4 campaign < Uncharted 4 campaign and Gears 4 Multiplayer < COD or Battlefield 1. But, if you take the full package the Co-op aspect and Hordes 3.0. You got a killer app for Microsoft.  It's one of the few games that might make you concider buying a Xbox One. 

No that's not the issue here, I don't think anyone thinks Gears 4 is a bad game because it scored "only" 84. But that score suggests it's worse than Gears 3 and I can't see how that would be the case since it pretty much improved everything over Gears 3. I just can't see how this lower score can be justified and you did nothing to help me when I asked you about the short comings you mentioned :P

Also I don't know why Gears and Uncharted campaigns should be compared and most definitely don't understand the comparison between 3rd person and 1st person multiplayer shooters. Do you mean to say that COD and Battlefield are more popular? Yes they most definitely are thus most would prefer them but being more popular doesn't mean ultimately better. FIFA sells millions more than PES and most would agree FIFA > PES but I don't think you can say FIFA is the better football game.
