How many times of late have we seen on this very site, people not recognise 80 as a good purchase worthy game?

It seems lately that if a games scores less than 90 on Metacritic that people disregard the game as something rent worthy. When in actual fact 80 stands well for a game, a game that is not avarage but above the premise.

Metacritics themselves acknowledge games with an 80 rating are good quality games. They have the coulor of the number still in green.

If for instances we rate a game on a 5 ball chart. So say we have Verypoor,Poor,Fair,Good, Excellent.

Well it would be like this.

0-20               - Very Poor

20-40             - Poor

40-60             - Fair

60-80             - Good

80-100           - Excellent

As you see games over 80 will fall into awsome game territory. People I believe have forgotten this premise. We have become way to expectant here on internet forums. We all need to give far more attention to games with 80 and higher, not just the 90+. These games that score 80-90 do not get the praise they should.

Selnor out.
