Yes, they are SO biased they even went the extra mile of hiding their evilness by giving the game scores denoted as "great" on their sites in giant bold letters.  Oh wait...that's the opposite of bias. 

It would be far more pathetic and useless for them to be dishonest and cave to the peer pressure of hype culture and shill out a score higher than they feel it deserves. 

And XV has no 10s.  And the divide between 9s and 8s is pretty even so what are you on about?

These western reviewers gave Overwatch a 10/10, a 4 GB game for 70€ rigged with microtransactions. What is the better product? This or FFXV for 65€, 50+ GB content with much much better graphics imo? Its also the only JRPG that is AAA.

 

And Gamespot and IGN are counted higher which is unfair, Famitsu wont be allowed to give their score because they are Japanese how is Metacritic really fair?

I didn't say it was fair, just that your complaint makes 0 sense whatsoever.  And if fair averaging is what you want, go to Open Critic.  I hope the 1 extra point that gets FFXV makes you feel better.  Metacritic isn't perfect, but it's an average and averages are not even that valuable as a metric.  It's a hub for finding reviews and a very basic means of getting a feel for the general critical temperature regarding a title.

It's really ridiculous how people will consider a score between 80 and 85 as low. As if all games had to be 95 to be considered good.
-___-

8 out of 10 is still a really good score. 

But I suspect Ruler scored the game 10 out of 10 before he even played a second of it. 

Why shouldnt it be 10/10? its the AAA JRPG this gen the only one of its genre. I played the game, the Platinum Demo, Episode Duscae and the Judgement  Demo thats more than enough

Scores don't start at 10 and go down, the game has to justify it's 10.  Also, Xenoblade Chronicles X came out like last year, so it's not the only AAA JRPG on the market, though they are few.  But scarcity doesn't earn you bonus points.
