Gamecritics reviewer didn't even finish the game. How are these reviews getting included in Metacritic?

dat GameCritics quote....

Approximately 18 hours of play were devoted to the single-player mode, and the game was not completed.

seriously?

Hold on is that for real? How is that allowed??



Ha, it seems the user score got botted. A few hundred negative votes suddenly poured in earlier today, then abruptly stopped once it hit about 7.0. Metacritic just removed about 200 votes, so they seem to agree it was vote stuffing.

It doesn't particularly matter (metacritic user scores are in general silly), it just made me giggle. Someone was upset enough about Horizon to bot it I wonder if the same will happen to Zelda? Nintendo's games aren't usually given much attention from metacritic users (even from Nintendo fans; Mario Kart 8, the WiiU's most successful game, only has 1600 votes), but Zelda is something of a special event.

Giant Bomb founding is based on this review style of not finishing games to review a game. 



 

Wow Horizon doing work right now! Four versions of the game in the top 40, 2 of which are in the top 20.
#1 Physical regular version
#18 digital regular version
#33 physical collectors edition
#36 digital deluxe edition

Has anyone seen this many versions of a single game do this well before? I don't think I have.

Damn seeing reviews and game play I'm finally sold on Horizon.

Sorry guys, the road to 89 just got that much harder and unlikely: Game Critics just gave HZD a 65.

Oh wow! 



Pocky Lover Boy! 

I'm only a few hours in, but it's fantastic. If BOTW is better han this were all in for some great times on Friday. Only question is which to play first.



Hm seems like they changed the way they add Edge though the rest of the scores are still missing.
