I don't understand.
lol.
No system is perfect but I would not necessarily say Metacritic was biased. I will say about the rounding is I am not sure you can make a raw assessment of the numbers as I believe they weight some results higher than others.
Lets look at ODST.
Lots of reviews in with a bunch of whacky results which clearly are not representative of the games quality. Scores in the 40s for a computer game would imply total rubbish, scores in the 70s would imply okish, 80 ok, 85+ good, 90+ excelent.
ODST is a funny one some folks have taken to heart the expansion crictism and marked the game down for it. Unfair buy hey alls fair in love and war.
Also a number of the ODST scores will be subjective in such that a Metacritic guy has interpreted the wording and derived a score.
All in all the score will represent a solid game and will probably be representative.
Uncharted 2
I see nothing to actually complain about yet the scoring is still early doors and at least another 40+ reviews expected.

u dont kid loll i understand ya ;]
WereKitten found out what was wrong. Biased they're not.
Unfortunately, metacritic has become a joke in videogame scores. It's not their fault for they only place the sore of a game based on reviews. The real problem are the reviewers themselves, some are favorable to a certain console or game developer, so biased reviews affect a score. Publishers know which sites to get favors on to keep a good metacritic score
i never did like metacritic. back to the days even when i was a noob gamer. -_-';
| Boutros said: http://www.notaboutgames.com/home/2009/09/metacritic-math.html I’ve just found a very strange thing about the metacritic score and how the final numbers are rounded. Take a look at Halo3:ODST and Uncharted 2 and how they are treated differently. HALO 3 ODST UNCHARTED 2 wtf? ------------------------------------------- lol. How can we be sure he calculated right though... He might be biased himself. |
Guh. Metacritic doesn't just average the review scores. reviews from sites like IGN are weighted more heavily
