Ok, so you take my "troll incels attempt" comment and replace it for "angry incels attempt" |
Or "angry TLoU fans who hate what ND did to one of their beloved characters in TLoU2 attempt".

Just wanted to register the point that this right here, now, is the first hour in which it might be theoretically possible that someone has actually completed TLOU2, 25 hours having now officially passed since its release. Of course, that's assuming they didn't have to work yesterday (like me) and didn't eat or sleep or otherwise take any breaks. But still, theoretically possible beginning now.
So how many people scored the game on Metacritic before it was possible to have completed the game? 20,679. Just wanted to register that as the grand total number of people we can definitely confirm reviewed this game on Metacritic without playing it. That's more than double the grand total number of reviews the original game got in the last seven years since its release. The bogus "user" score currently stands at 3.3. So just wanted to register these facts for the history books.
This is the most insane reaction I've ever seen to a video game before, from it being banned in the Middle East to the pre-release leaks to the largest-scale review bombing campaign in the history of video games. I'm just saying that I've never seen so much "gamer" hysteria in my entire life before. Maybe one day people will regain their sanity, but that's clearly not going to happen any time soon. (As some of you may know, I've got my opinion as to what the reason is for this completely over the top reaction -- what's unique about this game compared to all others before it.)
Anyway, I think enough of this is enough. So many fake reviews of this game have been posted to Metacritic at this point that the user score will be permanently skewed artificially negative as a result. Of course that's the whole point of these activist campaigns: to give the wider public the impression that players don't like it, and in that way to dissuade people who might like it from buying it, thus minimizing sales and influencing what sort of material publishers will permit in the future. For these reasons, I think these campaigns should be regarded as a form of political censorship.
Personally, at this point I'm definitely in favor of a crackdown on this type of bullshit. All "user" reviews for this game posted to Metacritic up to this point should be taken down and everyone who posted one of them should be permanently banned from ever posting another "review" there again. Also, Metacritic should henceforth develop a new system for user reviews that requires proof one actually owns the game they're reviewing before any submission is posted.

We shouldnt be taken Meta or User scores this seriously. They are both inaccurate.
Last edited by Bonzinga - on 20 June 2020Well I see that I am right on the money with my meta prediction. Slightly disappointed at the drop from 96 but not surprised.

Captain Marvel was genuinely awful though. |
Not the point. As the scores were coming even before the movie was officially relesead it's clear it was a hate campaign trying to bring the movie performance down
Captain Marvel box office performance in reality had the standard MCU movie run, with a slightly above average stability. It seems like whatever agenda fans were trying to spread it just wasn't resonating with real public, people who really paid for the movie and was giving it a nice word of mouth

How are Metascores inaccurate? |
Not all scores are counted, with this instance, 3 of the most critical reviews for this TLOU2 havnt been counted such as Kotaku, Polygon and Skill-Up. So technically this game wouldnt be a 96 or 95 if everything was accounted for hence why its not accurate. Same for User scores, its all just bias opinions.
Ironically, the fake backlash is likely going to make the game even more popular.
Just sad my game hasn't arrived yet :<

I find 'fan' less insulting than 'incel'...
