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.

Interesting to see no Nintendo exclusives have scored as low as Uncharted 4. Also interesting to see that no PS4 first party have gotten more than 65 until God of War. Also, the Switch games have been scored higher than any PS4 exclusive.
