reviewers need to remember what the numbers mean. same goes for the people that look at the numbers on reviews.

on a 1-10 scale 1 means no redeemable qualities,5 means the average gaming experience. and 10 means perfect no "valid"complaints or flaws.

it burns people up to see a game they love get the same score or lower to a game they see as worse.

Actually, most video game reviewers use 7 as average.  Don't ask me why though, because I don't know.

see what that leads to though? with 7 being average you can be potentially graded worse than you can be better.

Recently, there have been more complaints about score inflation than anything else.
