At this point I think metacritic should just take out user scores because they are never accurate and just a bunch of exagerating fans. Not to mention lots of them doesn't even play the games. Anyways take a look.

91 Metacritic - 3.4 Userscore

Recent freakouts in metacritic has been Diablo III and Devil May Cry.

Diablo III is still the best FPS ever XP

Does it have some sort of weird DRM or require online play? Remember how a bunch of angry kids pissed on Starcraft 2 for that.

I'm pretty sure it has Online Play required.

I don't want any of that, I don't want to play SimCity with people!

Yep, its due to its DRM. User Score is reflective of users who want the game but are pissed at the craptastic security.

I'd rate it a 1 as well if I cared to. It is a "1" game to me due to the DRM.

I find it a childish form of protest. As controversial as this may sound: if you don't want always on online play, just download a crack after you have the game installed. The solution is simple, but I'm certain it's about something else rather than just playing the game without DRM.

Metacritic is a good idea for a site, but the gamer community that frequents it is...quite dumb actually. But then again, expecting any sort of mature behavior on the internet is akin to madness.
