Can someone please explain me how an obvious troll website like Gamecritics is even listed on Metacritic?

Gamecritics : PS exclusives: 
Bloodborne 92 meta -> 70 Gc 
Uncharted 4 93 meta -> 50 Gc 
Horizon ZD 89 meta -> 65 Gc 
Uncharted TLL 84 meta -> 65 Gc 
NieR Automata 92 meta -> 65 Gc 
Persona 5 93 meta -> 65 Gc 

lmao, because they have a different opinions on some games you enjoy, they're "trolls"? By the way, you can probably make a similar list for all three console companies. Lets experiment and see!

Gamecritics : Nintendo Exclusives
Mario Odyssey 97 meta -> 80 Gc
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 92 meta -> 80 Gc
Super Mario 3D World 92 meta -> 60 Gc
Zelda TP 95 meta -> 80 Gc
Zelda SS 93 meta -> 60 Gc
Mario Sunshine 92 meta -> 60 Gc

 

Gamecritics: Microsoft Exclusives
Gears of War 94 meta -> 80 Gc
Halo 3 94 meta -> 70 Gc
Halo Reach 91 meta -> 70 Gc
Gears 3 91 meta -> 65 Gc
Cuphead 88 meta -> 60 Gc
Quantum Break 77 meta -> 50 Gc
Forza 7 86 meta -> 60 Gc
Halo 5 84 meta -> 55 Gc

I had to go back to freakin GCN era to find Nintendo console games. To be honest I could add a lot more, for a site that people here are implying have a strong Nintendo bias and anti Sony bias, they really don't review a lot of Nintendo games and they seem to shit on everyone pretty equally. Maybe they just review harder than other sites and have their own particular ideas about what makes a good game and what they like. Which is fine. I don't watch RedLetterMedia expecting shitty costumes and screaming and fake rage like I would if I ever watched an AngryJoe review. They can have an audience and cater to that audience. And they should be on MC. After all, it's weighted. Furthermore there are more than a few Playstation focused sites giving it great scores, should those come off as well?

I mean it's a 94. That's still really good.

Strange enough GC gave GoW a 7.5/10 yet are considered bias even after they gave games like Halo 3 and Reach a 7/10. Human logic. 

Modern gamers today are too worried about the Meta of a game than the actual game itself. Its nice to know what you like is praised but honestly do they sit on there chairs playing the game and saying to themselves "Ohhhh this is definitely a 10/10 game" during play sessions? I would believe it.
