LOL, metacritic is just an average dude..., it doesn't mean shit. Is basic mathematics....

IF Game A receives 9, 9 , 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9 and 9 from 10 different outlets it has a 90/100 metacritic rating.
If Game B receives 10, 6, 10, 6, 10, 6, 10, 6, 10, 6 from those same 10 different outlers it has a 80/100 metacritic rating

So Game A is better than game B, so it has more chances to win GOTY, right???

But if those outlets that give Game A a 9, have another game giving a 10, or just consider another game to be better, that game will receive the GOTY from that site and not GAME A. And if game B receives the GOTY from the sites it received the 10/10, then...., who cares that other sites didn't like the game as much??, The fact that if a site doesn't like the game as much as them, they giving it a 9 or a 1 doesn't change anything. It only matters that the sites that liked it, liked a lot, period. It's not "consoles war" or a "biased choice". If someone doesn't like the opinions of others in this particular aspect...., well, don't give a shit about the results or just find another hobby, but don't try to disiminish the victory of the winners just because you don't like that winner....
