I always wonder why people put so much thoughts into metacritic. The mere thought that you can reduce the quality of a game into a single number and compare all genres on different gaming systems based on this value... that feels so stupid to be honest. That is simply impossible and deep inside most people will know this.

So, a certain game may get a 10/10... but what if you simply don't like the genre. What if you don't like online gaming or the sandbox approach? There are people that have much more fun with a game like Katamari Damacy than with GTA V... In the end reviews are not much more than simple opinions.

And since some reviews are from free online sites that have to survive on advertising revenue alone I highly question their use for the common gamer. It would not surprise me much if some reviews were simply bought or distorted.
