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?

Maybe some reviewers put different emphasis on things? Maybe some people feel that content is not king and that a core gameplay loop can be incredibly fun?

I'd give Rocket League a 10 even though it's just about cars jumping around in medium great graphics with barely any content. Yet I've spent over 1000h with it and I have no intention to stop. Meanwhile FFXV bores me to death and hasn't even 100h of content while costing more. Perspective?

If you're so about AAA and graphics how would you like it if all reviewers rated console games 2/10 because the graphics and performance aren't nearly as good as the PC ports?

Perspective.
