GameRankings, and Metacritic, are not 100% accurate. Why? Some games, have less reviews than others. Some reviewers, don't play the entire game. Some reviewers don't know exactly how much they like a certain game, so the score they output, my not be the exact score, sub-conscience to their mind. Like, how many times did you find it so hard to output a score on a certain game, and after you put the score, you still weren't exactly sure, if it was exactly how much you liked the game. The review sites are far, far, far from perfect. It's impossible for a game to have a perfect, numerical score, on how good it really is, unless some how, a super computer managed the output the exact numerical-score, but even it, would not be entirely perfect. However, these review sites are the best we have, and all the scores should stay where they are. None of this, "Ocarina of Time had a lower score than GTA 4, when they both had 22 reviews, so even if GTA 4 lowers, it is still better," bullshit, because that's not how it works. More people reviewed GTA 4, which means that there were more "fan-boys," and since "fan-boys" are usually the first to review the games, the concept of GTA 4 being better, when it was at 22 reviews, makes no sense. Plus, add all those other, faults, and imperfections, and you've got two big messes, so you might as well, just judge the game with a higher score, to be the superior one, if you want. I mean, the percentage of imperfection, of the total score, of all the games, may be the same anyways, so whatever. Anyways, once GTA 4's score lowers than Ocarina of Time, judging by the review sites, that's it. It's lower. No excuses. Yes, all the scores are not perfect, by they may be equally not perfect, so you might as well judge them as they are.

And I will always follow the review sites, because more opinions, are better than your opinion. If you think your opinion is so important, than become a professional reviewer, and output your score into the other scores, to alter the score, almost non-existent, closer to the score you gave. Yes, it is important for you to have an opinion, but you cannot override your opinion against many opinions. One, maybe, but not many. There is no such thing as a fact, but many opinions combined is the closest thing to a fact. Also, the only way I can have an opinion on a game, is if I pay like, $80, if it's brand new, and that is something I don't want to do, so that's another reason why I will follow the review sites, even if the scores are not practical. One more thing, the user score of Ocarina of Time ULTIMATELY CRUSHES the user score of GTA 4. Like, it's not even funny. But I go by the professional reviews, because the user scores are filled with far more fan boys.
