people saying 8 is a good score need a reality check. In the video game industry where dozens to hundreds of games have achieved well beyond 9 aggregate scores, 8 is horrible. If you look at IMDB, an aggregate of reader scores for movies, you will see that not even the highest rated movie of all time has managed to achieve a 9!! An 8 in that industry is high, in the VG industry it is a joke.

 

Sorry to say, but this is really a dumbass comparison. You already said it, IMDB uses READER scores. Thousands of people vote for movies, the number one movie has a 9.1 average from over 400.000 votes. On metacritic or gamerankings most scores are just averages from not even a hundred reviews. If games got scored/voted for the same way as movies on IMDB, so by thousands of people, most games would not score higer than a 9 too.

On topic: An 8 is a good score, maybe you expect higher from a game like Resident Evil 5, but it's still solid.

I'm still buying it :)

 

Yup.

 

Rotten Tomatoes > IMDB anyway.
