Well when it comes to the GOTY discussion you might be right, but I don't think the nominees always wind up being the top-rated games according to Metacritic. For instance, even at 83 I expect Transistor to get a little more attention than you might expect based on such a score. Also, pretty sure IGN and Dtoid (and probably a lot of other sites) usually have ten nominees for GOTY, not to mention all of the other awards. So they're going to have to dig a bit deeper than Metacritic's top 5. |
I'm pretty sure IGN uses their own scoring when determing GOTY. So a game like DK: Tropical Freeze technically could be considered in their GOTY nominees because they gave it a 9.0, even though its meta is 83.
