So Metacritic is only flawed when it doesn't accurately display the score you want for your favorite game?

What about all those other multiplat releases like GTAIV, Fallout 3 or Bioshock? Oh I forgot...they all got above 90 so no one cares. Metacritic is unflappable as long as the score is high! But if the score goes below a certain level for the game I like, they'll be hell to pay!

Just admit it people, reviews are pointless.  And you certainly shouldn't be trying to expect games to get a certain 'level' on Metacritic.

Nope.  As I explained, rather well I thought, it is statistically flawed in its methods, and of course most people who use it apply it's scores in flawed ways either because they don't understand statistics or, most commonly, want to make a point and couldn't care less about actual facts.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
