A little off topic. My apologies.
My issue with "metascores" is the complete lack of consistency between sources. Some games get boosted due to a flood of extra paid reviews, and then others get damaged due to a flood of anti-fan reviews.
While I realize Gamespot's producers have in past times been caught encouraging its editors to give certain games higher scores to please publishers, I don't think this is a general practice of theirs, and when they got caught doing it there was a huge controversy...
But I barely read reviews anymore, anyway. I generally know what kind of games I want and a 95% on a game I don't want is as good as a 0.
Anyway, is there a core group of sources that are generally good and consistent? Any sites that actually sort these out, or allow users to customize what review sites they are looking at?
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
