[3DS] Winter Playtimes [Wii U]
I played it at a friends house and it is so much fun. I love collecting the stars just thinking about it is making me wnat to play it. Thank God I'm getting it tonight :)
metacritic should realy change the system a bit, maybe cuting the highest and the lowest 5%
a Winsorized mean would fit the system better...

I don't understand why they don't just ignore outliers. That's a simple rule of statistics. If you take the mean of a set of data, you don't factor in outliers.

An outlier would be like someone giving a game a score of 2/10, and everyone else scoring in the 8-10 range. Clearly that review shouldn't hold any water, so it shouldn't be factored in. At least, in my opinion.

sure, but you cant just cut scores without a system.

Statistically, outliers are usually 3x Standard Deviation. After doing some math, that means acceptible scores for Kirby would be 28 to 124 and for The Order it would be 23-110.

It would seem like the best chioce... but would cause a lot of problems. If a reviewers score was not counted because their score was too different than the average, soon reviewers will be influenced by each other.
That said, some people really hate Kirby, their ratings seem a bit extreme compared to the average!
