Metacritic needs to figure out what they are doing.

Now what I find stupid about that is how does a B+ equal low 80's, B equals 75 and above, then A- turns into high 80's to low 90's with A and A+ being automatic 100. Yet when you go to a B-, you would figure it means somewhere in the 70's judging by how they are rating the A's, yet B- is a 67? B- = 67, A- = 91. B = 79, A = 100. B+ = 83, A+ = 100.

I think if Metacritic doesn't know what these score equate to, they have no business making up their own bogus scores.

 

For the record, I do not think they are being biased, I just think they are not as reputable as some believe they are. Gamerankings seems to have the letter system understood while Metacritic has their heads lost in the clouds. I can almost 100% guarantee this 1UP on Gamerankings will equate to a 95.

I honestly don't know why they score it the way they do. Why not send an e-mail and take it up with them?

I wasn't saying you thought they were biased. Another member danielhuru made those accusations earlier in the thread. For the record, Gamerankings does equate "A" scores as 95% which seems more fair.

 

 

I know the biased remark wasn't aimed towards me, that is why I had a break in the two paragraphs, I just wanted to put that out there just in case I was accused.

I probably should send an e-mail though to see what bogus answer they hit me with. I just don't see this as being very professional on their part. It seems more of Metacritic being lazy.

They told us earlier this week they gave LBP that score of 80 based on what they read in the review. Now are they trying to tell us that each and every A rated review that they read seemed to lean towards a perfect scoring? I think they never read any of these reviews to begin with.

I find this be unfair to those games that recieve A+ scores. Now what differentiates the two?
