| Acevil said: You do know how rotten tomatoes works against metacritic right? Rotten Tomatoes is literally Yes/No Percentage, while Metacritic is Average of Reviews Score. If Gaming had rotten tomato version, about all big titles would be 100%. |
If you look at the top films of all time on both sites, the RT list makes way more sense. It wouldn't work for games because gaming critics simply give ridiculous high scores for a lot of games. They just give perfect 10s to games that are good but have sizeable flaws. GTA IV is a 98 on Meta. It's a good game for sure, but it simply isn't even the best GTA game.
If you look at Meta, we will have films that won Academy Awards with scores in the low 80s, which is pretty weird.
