at this point I don't even know what to say to you anymore....

Just stop with this thing you are doing, whatever it is.

If a game gets 100 reviews. and 97% of them are 10s and 3% of them are 5s....... then following your logic and throwing simple reason out the window, that would mean that 97% of all the reviewers around the world, across different races and cultures all somehow had a collective bias in favor of scoring the game highly.

That will mean that the smart thing for any average person reading any of those reviews willl be to take the wrod of that 3% (aka the minority) to have more weight and value than the majority.

Now if you can't see the folly in that line of thinking, then there truly is nothingto be said to you.

Yeah, after his last response to me, I just gave up. He just wants to argue, for some reason, but his arguments are odd and often nonsensical.  I’ve seen him pick arguments with others as well. 

I'd say my argument is pretty sound:

Enjoyment of video games is subjective. As a result, there will inevitably be variations between review scores among different critics. That's where Metacritic comes into play. It rounds up reviews from around the web to see what the overall average is. Eliminating low scores because they deviate from the average destroys the whole purpose of trying to find an average in the first place.
