Metacritic is biased again look at gamespot and IGN reviews how they are pushing down the overall score, everyone else gives it a 9 or 10. Gamespot and IGN have a bigger value on the score than other sites

Do they take that into account?  I thought every review was equal.

No. Metacritics assigns arbitrary weight to all media outlets. Some reviewers weight more in the balance than others.

Which is why opencritics was created in the first place. All reviews count for the same weigth. Making the average score actually an average.

Well keep in mind that swings both ways.  If a site takes a huge nose dive and has a ton of total clowns running it who provide horribly written and constructed reviews, Metacritic will likely re-evaluate their weight status but Open Critic will not.  And the difference between the two is rarely sizable, keep in mind; the Final Fantasy XV score on OC is 85 while 86 on Metacritic.  And averages are not very high quality metrics anyway.

Yes, they are SO biased they even went the extra mile of hiding their evilness by giving the game scores denoted as "great" on their sites in giant bold letters.  Oh wait...that's the opposite of bias. 

It would be far more pathetic and useless for them to be dishonest and cave to the peer pressure of hype culture and shill out a score higher than they feel it deserves. 

And XV has no 10s.  And the divide between 9s and 8s is pretty even so what are you on about?
