Wow, look at the weight of the Destructoid score compared to the rest: Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime Critic Reviews for Xbox One - Metacritic

4 80's and 1 100. Metascore = 87...
Actual average is 84

What's wrong with that?

They are giving Destructoid twice the weight of the other sites (on average). What would their reasoning be for that? I wonder if IGN weighs even more.

Destructoid arguably has a better/well known history.

whats the basis that metacritic sets weighted reviews on?

 is there a quality check on reviews? do they have to meet certain standards? is there a certain set of requirements for reviewers and reviews?

or does it just come down to how popular a site is? because we all know popularity sure as hell doesnt meen quality. and Metacritic basing its weighted reviews on popularity is a joke, considering metacritics supposed purpose to measure quality.

one thing is for sure, the gaming industry would be MUCH better without numbered reviews.

If you're talking about Sterling, Destructoid's weight should definitely be lower, not higher

The FIFA 16 demo is actually great! Really like playing as women too. They feel different and it's cool how their hair moves around hehe.
