There have been times when I have written off a game and then reconsidered due to general reviews (not really metacritic specifically). I also sometimes look at metacritic to remind me if there are any good games that I somehow missed.
I wouldn't say that metacritic affects my opinion, but general opinions of people can make me take a second look at a game (or a first look in some cases) or warn me of things that I had no way of knowing before release (ex. Bugs/glitches, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Online issues)
