@Dissentioncc no. it doesn't. http://www.metacritic.com/about-metascores

@lemoinedoubli Metacritics game scoring formula really is stupid. Like a 7/10 = 55 on Metacrtic.

@cf_Kage 18 hour linear game = masterpiece? sounds legit.

@ali_manslayer metacritic = guide to life

@Warful i think he's just suggesting critic scores can sometimes be a bit overdone w/ the hype they bought into.

@Vegamyster dude, please stop using facts and decent logic. This is not the place or time for that kind of junk.

@Superzone stop using the critic average. Jesus. It's kids like you that make devs aim for high metacritics scores rather than actually making good or innovative games. So gamespot has different/higher standards? that's a GOOD thing.

"Tom thinks this game is great...but not masterpiece all-time god game great like other sites think?!?!? He clearly can't be trusted and deserves to die." - summary of comments

@Superzone who cares who you agree with? He gave it an 8. Which is still "great" on their scale. Why are you complaining? Or saying he's "hard to trust" when HE THINKS THE GAME IS GREAT.

@Superzone kid, I just said an 8 is still great. don't you get it? He thinks its a great game. Just not a 10/10.

And you're guilty of the appeal to authority fallacy. If every critic said Transformers was great, would that mean you should think it's great?
