Lol, that's incredible.

As for metacritic, I have mixed feelings about it.  I think it is good on the lower level scores, as in if a game gets crap reviews across the board and has a meta of 45 I know there is no reason to bother with it.  The higher the score goes the more murky it becomes, and you have to use your own judgement more.  


Marvel Heroes got 58% meta (with the 2015 update its now got 81%) yet ive now put in over 1645 hours playing it, just because a bunch of reviewers don't like a game does not instantly mean the game is crap, another game that got a low score was Mad Tracks, one reviewer gave it just 30%, the total critic score was just 62% yet the user score was 8.3/10, you can use review scores as a guide sure but just cause a game gets a low critic score does not mean there is no need to bother with it, yes there are crap games out there but with most reviewer becoming biased to a certain franchise of genre some games will just recieve low scores regardless of how good or unique they are.

I'm sure there are games with low scores that are well worth playing, but there are so many other games to play I don't know whether I would personally ever try them out unless they were on sale.
