People often misinterpret that. I mean that "X game got 88 and Y game got 86, so X is better" is not true. Metacritic is not a judge of quality, it is a judge of reviewer opinion, and a place where you can see what reasonably decent reviewers think of a game. I even put in "as a judge of quality"! Oh also, I have a bet with Ronster316, and as long as the metascore remains at 90+, I win. |
I dunno, I think it's the best way to judge a game without playing it. Everyone has a unique opinion, but you can sort most games fairly accurately with those kinds of sites.
If people are arguing over scores of 88 and 86, though, that's rather dumb, I agree.
