Look at Fallout 4. It's not perfect but I happen to like it.
On Steam, where you actually have to own it to review it, it's 78% positive. I'd say that's a pretty realistic assessment of the game's actual overall quality.
Yet look at the dropping "user score" on Metacritic.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but user review sites need to start requiring you to post as a verifiable actual person, like on your Facebook account or something. This "I'm really mad that they changed X to Y, so I'm going to make three dozen accounts and vote 0/10 on EACH ONE.
Nobody, I mean NOBODY sincerely, gun-to-their-head, thinks Fallout 4 is a 0/10. N.O.B.O.D.Y. A.T. A.L.L.
I would love for a representative from Metacritic to interview a random shlub who zero bombed Fallout 4 and explain, in depth, how it is no better than Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. Because that is literally what you're saying when you give a game a 0/10, that it's comparable to shovelware. Absolutely nobody actually feels that way. Hence the 0/10 reviews are absolutely all dishonest, and should be deleted. If you wanna give it a 1/10 that's stretching it. Extremely disappointed people giving it a 5/10 are fair game I think, but I simply do not believe anyone sincerely feels it's 0/10.
Zero bombing is dishonest and abusive, and it needs to be prevented somehow.
