Your first sentence doesn't make sense, the game scored very high because most people agreeded it's good. If the game wasn't as good it wouldn't receive the high score The heavy reviews made the game an instant hit, from an unknow IP to GOTY. This could never happen with mid reviews no matter how good was the WOM 3 million or so units from the core fanbase is expected for MP4. The issue here is with heavy reviews it would bring sales from people are indifferent to the series, those sales are essentially gone now. In this sense is fair to assume the reviews will impact the sales negatively |
No, the game scored high because out of over 8 billion people on Earth, the mere 84 who are counted on Metacritic thought it was good. Reviews are not an objective measure of quality, they are the opinions of a tiny, tiny group of people.
And the number of gamers who'd pass on a game cos of an 81 metacritic is a similarly tiny, tiny group.
