I don't think these guys know what a 0/10 game looks like.... XD

Some of those points are valid, but the scores are a little extreme. I think that they should be renamed "User Comments" and not have a score attached to them...

Lets not forget the 10/10 people too cause imo, those are equally bad... with that being said, I use meta critic as an idea of where the game lands rather than the final stance of the game... also, who the tits reads the user reviews anyway?

My favorite is when they say it was a good game with good qualities, just a flawed game, and they still give it the lowest score possible.

Metacritic can stay: it's amusing as all hell.

I actually agree with some of the things bomerr is saying.

But user reviews have always been a joke.

any user review that doesnt require proof that you actually purchased the product needs to go away and dont forget to mention the ton of perfect scores games get as well some do it just to combat the 0s

this.

user reviews seldom work, IMDB being a big exception here but honestly there are much less fanboys or haters that review movies compared to games.
