Metacritic is the cancer of the gaming industry. Few things frustrate me more than when I'm discussing a game with someone and then they claim game A is better than game B because it has a higher Metascore as if a number alone addresses and informs us on all of a games positive and negative points. A lot of people nowadays just can't think for themselves and feel they have to consult Metacritic to justify their opinion of a game, there is no way to say game A is objectively better than game B, everyone has their own opinion and people need to stop thinking Metascores are objective.
I even saw one infuriating fan wrongly state that the Uncharted series is more acclaimed than both the Halo and Gears of War series.... How can one critically acclaimed series be more critically acclaimed than another critically acclaimed series, it's a fact that both are critically acclaimed series but it's up to you alone to decide which is better in your opinion! NOT METACRITIC OR ANYONE ELSE'S OPINION.
Hopefully a few culprits will read this and realise the error in their ways and abandon Metacritic forever, I doubt it though, sadly.
