Average went up, as expected. Critics continue to give pokemon a free pass, just cuz. In some of those reviews I see a 100, 94, 92, and 91. Tell me with a straight face that this game deserves that.

Uhhhhh... dude... unless the scores fall into a very narrow range, which is incredibly statistically unlikely, then by definition some scores are going to have to fall outside of what you feel is deserved.  That's just what tends to happen when you don't have a game reviewed by a hive mind. I would actually find it way more suspicious if every outlet had the same opinion and there were no outliers.

What are the last five games you bought?  Look them up on Metacritic.  Assuming they have more than a handful of reviews, let's say 25 is the minimum, which of those five games only have scores on Metacritic that you think are warranted?  I'd be shocked if any of them do.
