7/10 is almost green, you said it yourself! 

And did I say otherwise here while joking with Boutros?
Am I DDoS'ing EDGE's site? I said that on the "Jim site being DDoS'ed thread".


What did my post here and that other post have to do in the slightest?

The bolded is irrelevant. I was reminding you that 7/10 is "almost green", which seems to contradict this statement "How can a human being be so low as to give such scores to such great games?"

How is "almost green" contradictory to "such scores"?
And the bolded is not irrelevant, saying context is irrelevant is what is irrelevant.

The connotation of "almost green" is that the score is not that low, or quite justifiable. In this context you abscribe the attribute of "be so low" to a 7/10 score, which implies that it is a bad score for an otherwise universally acclaimed game. Furthermore, you have a post history of painting scores in the 70's as pretty good (see your posts in the Mass Effect: Andromeda thread.) It comes off as hipocracy that all of a sudden a 7/10 is "so low" because it is a game you enjoyed (not saying I disagree; Diablo was a groundbreaking game and doesn't deserve a 7/10.)

None of the bolded affected this point, it was only a matter of degree rather than type of reaction, so that is why it is irrelevant.

Diablo was game changing on top of being an amazing game, Diablo II was still a great game and one of the very best for it's time.

Damn!

If they gave DA:O a 5/10 then they can just screw right off.

You can think that 7 is a pretty good score for some games, and an unacceptable score for other games. Context, opinions, stuff like that...

This is a strawman. It was not stated that different games can't have different unacceptable scores (in fact the opposite is implied.) Read what I said again. 

"which implies that it is a bad score for an otherwise universally acclaimed game. "

and look what he said 

"Diablo was game changing on top of being an amazing game"

Likewise EDGE has its "opinions, stuff like that." One can't use "it's his [or my] opinion, bruh" as deflection while also criticizing another's opinion as "too low". You can recognize that opinions are subjective without falling into a slippery slope of total relativism.  The subjectivity of opinions does not make all opinions equal.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
