Never seen so many suspicious positive reviews even for most controversial games like Death Stranding or Mass Effect Andromeda

I know I made an account just to review Shenmue III , I think many of us did.

I don't think it's fake accounts at all.

EDIT: There is even a campaing going on in a pinned thread here specifically about reviewing the game on Metacritic

I made a metacritic account to leave Shenmue III a review and a score of 9, I only have 1 review on my account and made it yesterday... does that make me fake? Also going by the thegamer.com news piece no one would buy it on ps4 AND pc... I have 3 copies on PS4 and 1 copy on PC... am I real?
 
Wow, what an objective article:

To make things even more questionable, those reviews are for both the PC and PS4 versions of the same game, which is objectively insane. Why would anyone buy both versions of the same game to play on two different systems? Especially a game as slow, meandering, and aimless as Shenmue 3?

So. Fanatic fan?

Oh look another site no-ones heard off giving Shenmue shit for clicks

OP's post history is 90% slagging off this game. If you don't like why are you here?

Why the fuck is Metacritic using the ancient trailer?
