| Euphoria14 said: I really wish I knew how Metacritic's formula works. Every site that does review averages does just that, the average of all the included reviews. Metacritic however has it sitting at 79/100 yet the average of the 15 reviews = 80.12/100. They don't explain it though. I only know that for some reason some scores hold more weight than others, as if a 75 from 1 site = 70 and another = 80. I really have no clue. |
They say it's based on "the overall stature and quality of those critics and publications".
So for example I think IGN is more weighted that Teletext.
