i compare the user reviews! Look at Fire emblem 92! User score 9.3. That means the game is good!

That's not my point. DMC is good, hence its very positive critical reception. "Fans" of the series destroyed the user score by bombarding the game with extremely low scores. A lot of 0s. Many of them without playing the game at all.

This isn't exactly uncommon on Metacritic, but usually it happens in small enough numbers not to affect the user score greatly. In this case, it creates a very misleading picture. More people gave the game a good score than a bad score, yet its overall score is under 5. It's sabotage... by a vocal minority.

The game has a freaking 85 metascore. People who have actually played it tend to like it. So yeah, I said minority. Come at me bro.

Check it out. The game has a user score around 4.5/10 on Metacritic. What do you see here?

You do realise you just shot yourself in the leg, don't you ?

(I will give you a hint: the metascore reviewers compared to the users are the minority)

How about I give YOU a hint? More people gave the game a positive score than a negative one. Your definition of "minority" is pretty funny if 160/352 doesn't fit it!

That's about 45% of user scores. So it doesn't count the 62 positive critical reviews to 0 negative ones; let's add those. Now it's 160/417. This amounts to about 38% -- compared to 57% giving it a positive score.

Maybe you just don't know how to read graphs. The longer line represents a larger number.
