@UltimateOtaku91 Nor should it have much influence. It's an aggregator with a methodology that will never inherently make full sense: it assigns scores to reviews that don't use them, and absolutely no media outlet has a true standardized metric or process for scoring within their organizations let alone outside of them (to the point where the same John Doe doing a review for a game they rate 8/10 will still mean something different for another game also rated at 8/10; similar case for the Jane Smith's review for the same games, regardless of whether she works at the same employer or not).
Plus, no offense to everybody, but it's kind of lazy to look at an "aggregated" score and be done with it.
