You do know how rotten tomatoes works against metacritic right? Rotten Tomatoes is literally Yes/No Percentage, while Metacritic is Average of Reviews Score. 

If Gaming had rotten tomato version, about all big titles would be 100%. 

If you look at the top films of all time on both sites, the RT list makes way more sense. It wouldn't work for games because gaming critics simply give ridiculous high scores for a lot of games. They just give perfect 10s to games that are good but have sizeable flaws. GTA IV is a 98 on Meta. It's a good game for sure, but it simply isn't even the best GTA game.

If you look at Meta, we will have films that won Academy Awards with scores in the low 80s, which is pretty weird.

Because every Academy Award winning movie should have high 90s ratings? There are 24 categories. Just because a movie won an award for best visuals or best costume design doesn't mean that it's a good movie.

Also there's a difference between movie reviews and game reviews on Metacritic. An 80 movie doesn't have the same value as an 80 game. It's worth quite a bit more.

According to Metacritic, almost all 2016 Best Picture nominations are in the low 80s (http://www.metacritic.com/feature/2016-oscar-nominations-88th-academy-awards), which is pretty odd.

I understand that a 80 for a movie and for a game on Meta are different. However, I don't think they should be. For games, we would say that a low 80s for an Uncharted/Halo/Gears would be disapointing. For a film, a low 80s can even run for best picture. It's quite a gap.

That is exactly the issue, majority of those games are 80s if we actually were critical, bad games should get below 50, not 60-75. Gaming review system is screwed up. 

Every other medium uses the standard 5 as average (Mixed Reviews), and movies can actually get 0%-20%. Really hard pressed to find games to be even remotely near that. 

This is so fitting XD

Internet being full of entitled whiners. Nothing new though. After all, this is the age of overreacting (unless the topic at hand is actually something of importance).

No one is actually saying any of that. That's just the hyperbole the pro-ghostbuster people are saying.

I don't like what they did with the ghostbusters remake, so I won't watch it. That's exactly what the majority of the people who were against the gender swap are saying.
