Details how Metacritic is operating is uknown. Another reason to avoid it.
There’s certain critics (think right wing nut jobs like Critical Drinker) that I wouldn’t want impacting a score as they’d just rate it low because there’s a minority included in a game.
That’s your personal taste and this is good. But imagine someone else decides for you who can impact the score and how much. If you like Metacritic, that’s okay. But OpenCritic takes a more general approach and does not discriminate (at least not as much as Metacritic) and provides a “real” average value. In example I don’t want IGN to impact the score too much too, but Metacritic values scores from places like IGN higher than most other platforms. And with excluding Critical Drinker, IGN’s opinion has even higher impact on the score.
If you really like that, by all means keep using and looking up IGN. I don’t think its the worst in the world or anything like that. I just think OpenCritic operates a little better and that’s it. My initial point was to provide and alternative to Metacritic, because I do not like how it operates overall.
