- Metacritic often makes errors (giving games a different score than the reviewer actually gave it) and they refuse to adjust it.
- They refuse to adjust scores when a reviewer feels the game is now better and gives it a better score.
- Gaming journalism is a big joke. So it only makes sense that the weighted average of said ,journalism is also a big joke.
- Game sites accept money from the companies whose games they review (in the form of ad revenue and sometimes even direct payment). The reviewer is not neutral in this case and therefor his judgement is worthless.
- People on gaming forums use it as a fact in list wars.
- Metacritic is owned by the same company behind Gamespot. Guess who's critic scores are considered the most important?
- Indie games are not reviewed with the same standards as retail games. Yet they're on the same lists. IOS games must be super good if we believe metacritic.
