| curl-6 said: It does actually, critics and consumers disagree frequently, because critics are typically a certain kind of person that tend to have certain preferences and biases while the total audience is a much more heterogenous group with more diverse preferences. |
They don't disagree all that much. At least is not what the data shows when comparing critics scores like Metacritic and public scores like imdb. There's research about actually (and I studied that myself before)
I must confess I've never studied gaming score correlation, I can take a look and compare Meta/Open with backloggd eventually, but I don't think it would be representative yet since backloggd is still growing
Sales/Box office and reviews are different things of course. As stated is very much common to consume things you actually thing are bad, I have watch so many bad movies only to have some fun going out with family or friends, movies that I would have still scored poorly even after investing my money and time on it
