I dont like how Metacritic weights the reviews, i dont underestand why a site like IGN has to be more credible than an indie site.

But at the same time, Game Rankings do average the reviews equally, and their scores are always virtually the same as Metacritic, so i guess Meta must be doing something right.

P.D. I dont know for sure if both scores are always similar, i believe there must be cases that the margin of error is way off, but i havent seen it.

when you have above 50 or even close to 100 reviews, a weighted average is pretty much the same as a normal average.
