From MetaCritic:
"The METASCORE is considered a weighted average because we assign more significance, or weight, to some critics and publications than we do to others, based on the overall stature and quality of those critics and publications. In addition, for music and movies, we also normalize the resulting scores (akin to "grading on a curve" in college), which prevents scores from clumping together."
There's your answer.

"Some critics and/or publications typically have more prestige and respect in their industry than others. To reflect these factors, we have assigned weights to each publication (and, in the case of movies and television, to individual critics as well), thus making some publications count more in the METASCORE calculations than others."

Its hilarious that a people hold metacritic to the tee and actually think that a couple points difference in between games makes one better than the other. PLAY THE GAME FOR YOURSELF.
As for this video, it was probably just a mistake but who gives a shit if they are biased cuz metacritic is already bullshit for reducing videogame superiority to just a couple points

Kinda funny, that you're basing this off of one game, next time try looking at several reviews instead of just one.

Actually he has a point, to everyone else is just a couple points but overall, they are saying that the xbox version is better than the ps3, not a lot but a bit better. People wont admit but some buy games based on reviews and this convinces people into getting the xbox version cause its better when its identical. To quite a few people a point or two is nothing but if your a marketing man, you can see the slight nudge.

72 vs 74 are fucking kidding me. your a joke man

The fact you made a video about a shitty game based on a 2 point difference on a website that you get to visit for free shows how pathetic your existence is

FUCK Metacritic and all they stand for. The fucking company can rot whether they give games I like, good or bad reviews.

What's hilarious is that people like you say that to me as if I didn't know that and you walk away feeling so smart. You keep that and hold onto it, because obviously you didn't pay attention to this video and the facts I presented closely enough to realise what an idiot you are :)
