Tell me one official magazine that doesnt do this?

 

You are missing the point, the metacritic score is this high at the moment becuase 2 of the 4 things it has to go on are from official PS magazines, and it will drop

^Actually three of them are, one just didn't give it a perfect score, so it disagreed with your argument and you ignored it.

Fine, let's get rid of the official magazines, and the score rises to 99. Woo!



In seece's defense, I understand what he meant. No game holds onto their early metacritic rating. Every game has come down off high watermark that early reviews give them. He never said it would fall into the low 80s or high 70s guys. So back off a little alright.



97? nicee..makes it the 2nd highest score on metacritic this gen after GTA VI.

It's still rated AAA by the 3rd one

actually if the official was taken away it'd go to NA because you need 4 or more reviews for MC to work

Also, yeah, lets just count a very biased sounding review from the snippet, expecially because it has been taken down by the reviewer

But it's not rated a perfect score. If there was some back hand shannigans going down, do you think Sony would have said "Give it a 9" or "Give it a 10"?

Just because it doesn't have a little graphic until four reviews doesn't mean that you can't average out the review score.

OPM UK gave it a 9/10, so by your theory...they weren't paid enough?
