“A trusted news source.
Mission accomplished,” hewrote.
“We no longer have 90% Metacritic score.
Be proud of your excellent journalistic standards!”
I see a reviewer doing their job.
What Is A Game Reviewers Job?
Why act shocked when a reviewer belongs to that section of the audience?
The role of a critic is not to say what the creator wants to hear.
That’s what stans are for.
When you’re making that decision, don’t you want to know if the game is actually good?
Everyone has different tastes, whether youre a creator, a reviewer, or a reader.
I don’t expect that every reviewer I listen to will say exactly what I think or agree with.
I can only hope that they truthfully say whattheythink.
Some of the concern about Metacritic scores is financial.
In some cases,developer bonuses can be tied to the critical performance of their game.
Thats also not what happened here, with KCD2 still nearly 20 points up on the first games score.
The onus is on the developer to make great work and on the publisher to market it.
And Obsidian is carrying.
