This is to be expected (the lower percentage) when GB reviews are on a five star system. Which is the only annoying thing about Metacritic. Five stars? 100%!!111

I'd say the GB score system doesn't really line up well with the positive/negative/neutral system that Metacritic has them reported as.

Average games on Giantbomb get a 3 out of 5 (60%) while they get 7/10 (70%) on most other sites, so this makes sense.

For some reason, don't ask me why, I get bothered when I see a big 100 next to Giant Bomb on a Metacritic page when a game is given five stars. I just don't feel that the five star model should translate to the scoring system used by Metacritic. Basically I feel that Giant Bomb should not be on Metacritic.

I hate the 5 star review system.

So if that data's true, then every other reviewer, on average, thinks every game is perfect? Remembering GameSpot, it seems plausible.

Interesting data. I guess my only worry is publishers, who may make some insidious decisions based off of it. Let's hope that's not the case.

@Video_Game_King:  no, my bad, I think that should be 3%, not 30%. I edited the original, thanks for pointing that out.
