| Aldro said: Seriously stop with looking at versions of the games. Look at the one that has the most reviews and put focus on that one. We use meta to get a somewhat ..score based upon as many opinions as possible and not as few as possible. Meta prioritizes the 360 more hence fills that one in more throughly. Half of the 360 reviews are PS3 reviews as well really and vice versa too! So stop bickering and acting like the scores of +2 or -2 means shit due to the reviews being less. Pick the one with the highest AMOUNT Of reviews and leave it at that. |
Yeah, it's as simple as that.
Statistically it's the most accurate method.
For example Batman Arkham City has 96% on PS3 on 42 reviews and it has 94% on X360 on 87 reviews.
So what is Batman AC's Metascore? It's 94%. Because it would even be wrong to just take the average of 94 and 96, which is 95%, because the PS3 version would then get far too much weight. And actually it wouldn't even be the PS3 version of the game getting too much weight, but it would be those particular, fewer, reviews that Metacritic lists under the PS3 version.
So a simple and accurate rule is, and I quote you:
Pick the one with the highest AMOUNT Of reviews and leave it at that.
