What is your interpretation of review scores numerical value?

The fact that a good chunk of the reviews that make up Metacritic scores use different grading scales means that Meta scores really shouldn't be taken seriously.

Think about it. This thread is about applying a subjective rating to a score that is made up a bunch of other subjective ratings. Pulling an absolute out of that mess is close to meaningless.

Personally, I look at Meta scores as nothing more than a guide with a very wide +/- range, and then as only context to the actual review article. The words are the important bits.

Exactly, the problem with Metacritic is that it changes a 3 star to a 60 which shouldn't happen since it's a precision problem, and they sometimes weigh scores differently for whatever reason. Another problem with Metacritic is how alot of people use it, they only see the scores and don't bother to actually read the reviews.
