Metacritic is kind of crap. I feel kind of bad for anyone who takes it as gospel.
Just think about how ridiculous it really is: you're taking bad reviews from bad web sites, reviews from sites that use completely different grading methods and scales, reviews from writers that have different tastes and preferences than you, then you're combining them with reviewers that you actually like and respect, and you're giving them all the same exact weight.
Why would anyone really care about that?
"Well, this one writer I like gave it an 8/10 but this other guy I don't know who writes for a site I've never heard of gave it a 4/10--Ohmygod, it only has a 6/10 average? What the hell! I can't play this junk!"
