I think the whole metacritic thing is taken way out of perspective anyway. I barely trust reviewers these days - why the hell would I trust a site that converts scores to a 100 point system and then takes the average of these numbers?Originally Posted by Bennieboi20
I think the biggest problem with metacritic is when you get those SS inspired companies like EA and Activision give out bonuses only if the game reaches say an 88%, etc. I remember there was a real stink about this when Dead Space came out - it hit 89%, and if it would have been a 90 then they would have gotten bonuses or something along those lines. Developers are living and dying by the metacritic rating, and that's just plain wrong.
