No. Metacritics assigns arbitrary weight to all media outlets. Some reviewers weight more in the balance than others.

Which is why opencritics was created in the first place. All reviews count for the same weigth. Making the average score actually an average.

Ahh okay well now metacritic means nothing to me thanks for clearing that up lol,  opencritics?  Is that a website? 

Well keep in mind that swings both ways.  If a site takes a huge nose dive and has a ton of total clowns running it who provide horribly written and constructed reviews, Metacritic will likely re-evaluate their weight status but Open Critic will not.  And the difference between the two is rarely sizable, keep in mind; the Final Fantasy XV score on OC is 85 while 86 on Metacritic.  And averages are not very high quality metrics anyway.
