But the problem rocket is when review sites and shows use a scale out of 5, especially if it's just integers. There just isn't enough variety there to accurately critique all the games. The whole numerical scoring system is flawed with different scales and different views on what a certain score means to each reviewer.

At this point my philosophy is that it's best just to use the GR average as a guideline to compare games (a GR average of 94% should definitely be better than one with a 72% average) and just read individual reviews ignoring the score at the end for any particular review.
