Ugh, just listened to the podcast on GameCritics where the zoilist duo Brad the prick & Corey the twat carried on their tradition of being a pretentious pair of bitches shat on the game for bizarre reasons like 'SMS should have stripped back the gameplay to focus more on story'... IT'S A VIDEO GAME YA DUMB FUCKS.

So yeah, prepare for an unreasonably low score from GameCritics (hopefully that worthless site doesn't carry much weight on Metacritic).

Wow, I just saw some of their scores. They’re as bad as Quarter to Three. 

Uncharted 4:  50/100 (2nd lowest score out of 113 reviews) compared to a Metacritic of 93  

Bloodborne:  70/100 (LOWEST score out of 100 reviews) compared to a Metacritic of 92

Horizon ZD:  65/100 (3rd lowest score out of 115 reviews) compared to a Metacritic of 89

Meanwhile, they gave Zelda a 100, SMO an 80, and Mario Kart on Wii U an 80. 

They’ve given XBO exclusives similar scores to ps4 exclusives, but bc ps4 exclusives score generally much higher, the disparity between GC’s scores and the MC average is much greater for ps4 exclusives (e.g. gave Quantum Break a 50, but the Metacritic is 77; versus a 50 for Uncharted 4 despite a Metacritic of 93).

Again, how are sites like this allowed on MC? They are very obviously not being impartial. 

Nobody is impartial. That is the whole point of reviews, for people to give their own biased view of the game.
