| DonFerrari said: You gone to their review? I don't think so. https://www.videogamer.com/reviews/detroit-become-human-review is 4/10 so it isn't a 5 point scale. http://www.digitallydownloaded.net/2018/06/review-west-of-loathing-nintendo-switch.html they give half star as well, so another 10 point scale. So your whole premise of they giving 5 point and based on how much they like the game (which isn't even a good way of reviewing games, I don't want to know if a reviewer like the game I want to see what is the game) is dead wrong. And considering digitallydownloaded gave 9/10 to the game I gave the link I have very hard time accepting that this game is a whopping 50 points out of 100 better than Detroit. Or that this game http://www.digitallydownloaded.net/2018/05/review-happy-birthdays-nintendo-switch.html is perfect and Detroit dwelves on the broken side of the scale. Please keep defending that they were totally professional with both 40/100. And no one is saying the average would change much (although it would keep the 80 it had), but that both are at troll level clickbaiting side. |
Well just look at their prior work. I'm not ruling out click baiting but that is the same has committing fraud. Yes, on Metacritic 40% rating means it's a bad game, but on their own scale 2 out of 5 could just mean it's a game they din't enjoy and they are not recommending it.

Also, Different website use their own internal scale to rate games and Metacritic doesn't adjust their score base on these unique scale. 4 out of 10 doesn't always mean the same thing. The review doesn't get to assign a metacritic score even if they are not using the same scale. Reviewers don't review games for Metacritic, Metacritic use their score without consulting them.
for example: I'll go back to 5 point scale because it's easier to explain.
Site could have internal 5 point scale has followed:
Bad-OK-Good-Very Good- Excellent - Bad game is 20%
Broken-Bad-Average-Good-Excellent - Bad game is 40%
Unplayable/Broken-Flawed-Bad- Good- Excellent - Bad game is 60%
