Exactly that, which is a little unfair but meh what can you do about it.Ah I see your point. You mean that some publications score is worth higher than some others.
Well Opencritic isn't weighted and its sitting at 69 with more critics counted.
In any case, it's a game that got average to decent review. Point being, saying "the press sucks, user metascore is the only thing that matters" is dumb. And saying that the press scored the game lower cause it's not a AAA open world game is even dumber considering that many niche games manage to score high scores too. From my point of view, scoring a 5, 6 or 7 for Shenmue III isn't out of proportion.
The opencritic score is a fairer reflection given it doesn't have a weighting to each publication.
