Comments from the ResetEra thread, "The Last of Us Part II - Review Thread":
Shazz: "Oh no no its my bad i did the math wrong, i was on Meta and instead of taking the reviews i took the percentages because apparently on mobile they show the percentage and added the percentages and divided the positive by the total and that gave me a 96.9% which is wrong, i did the math again with the review scores right now (on meta) and the total positive reviews are 81 of the total 84(so far) so 81/84(for now) = 96.4% hence the 96, for it to get to 97 it needs to have 97 positive reviews out of 100 considering we dont get another mixed/bad review. I'm Sorry for spreading misinformation.
If anyone can tell me the number of positive reviews on opencritic i can tell how much it needs to get to 97 on there."
Fanboy: "has it reached 97 at some point? Honestly hoping it sticks with 97... that would be great."
ABIC: "I don't understand some posters just posting reviewers' negative opinions of the game. It's not a substitute for having your own opinion." (This is a fun rhetorical strategy by ABIC--criticizing dissenting opinions by imploring commenters to utilize free-thinking).
Rzaretka: "You must be upset at this 96 Metacritic now huh? LOL nice try though. Anyway, ND did the impossible and topped last generation's best game. Amazing."

As has been widely documented, game developers are often rewarded and punished over Metacritic thresholds. It truly bums me out that fans often ignore or don't see this as a very specific and deranged labor issue. These commenters will build their identity around studio prestige and Metacritic scores to justify their investment.
