^ thats like a ~97 (100+100+90 / 3).... so that should edge it upwards.

Still 53rd all time, unless that list hasn't updated yet.

It will have raised the average slightly, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will take it to 52nd. It might be a cunt hair from it though.

Good news. Solidifying it's 95 now. 

I don't even know. The 9/10 alone would have taken it down to 56th from 53rd. And an 8 even further. Then there might come the troll reviews.

Yeah peeped that aswell will likely update itself soon, the average did move a up a little 94.17 to 94.32 which is what i am getting with these figures, Though Meta has their own weighting system for reviewers so their figures could slightly align, also to be noted their are at least 6-8 shill sites left to review GOW so more 10s are to be expected.

That 90 would have to carry a hefty weight on their scale. Doesn’t look like it did.

The weight thing on metacritic is stupid. That's why Opencritic is better imo.

Not really. In fact, they should probably go one step further and start assigning weights to the single reviewers based on the variance between their scores and the average.

Should rename it conformitycritic too. With the motto "having different opinions is bad".

It's the only way to get rid of troll reviews and make reviewers accountable for what they say. If you systematically give lower scores to several games, either you are a troll or you just have poor taste and your opinion shouldn't matter. How big the acceptable range should be is debatable, but sites like quarter to three should be banned from MC, OC and GR.

Hope it can get some more 10/10s, I think the QT3 guy is striking soon. Hopefully not with anything worse than a 60, or its meta is screwed.

I saw his track record with PS exclusives and...yeah, he's about to strike. 

I do worry you're all too worried about the meta score, though; it seems like you're putting too much value on a game's percentage according to 100 random internet strangers. I like to see a movie or game do well, sure, and I do dislike it when someone puts out a troll review or is contrarian (Armond White) or likes to play games and rate them despite being biased (quarter to three), but it doesn't change my ability to enjoy a movie or game. 



Quarter to three guy lol. He's like feared among gamers and shit. But I do think there's some fuckery with his methods. It's like he reviews multiplats on PC and gives them okay scores, then he scores some random badly reviewed obscure PC exclusive a 5/5 and give critically acclaimed PS or MS games 1/5 or 2/5.

He's not consistent enough, he's too erratic. I know reviews are just opinion, but he seems to have the same opinions on games as an angry PC Master Race troll on a youtube comments section. And he gets to influence the final review average of a game.



I hope this game can get there at 96. I mean, the last 96 first party game from sony was uncharted 2 and, correct me if wrong, but sony only got 2 96 games since OG.Playstation.
