@ twesterm ) shouldn't the game be considered "mediocre" if the meta is around 50? |
- 90 - excellent must own game
- 80-89 - very good game
- 70-79 - good game
- 60-69 - not bad, has some problems but if you're a fan of the type of game or franchise, could be worth it.
- 50-59 - unless you're a giant fan of something specific in the game, probably not worth it
- < 50 - not worth the time/money.
Personally, I don't actually use Metacritic much. I think it's a good resource to use until you eventually find a reviewer or set of reviewers you trust (personally use IGN and Gametrailers). I consider it more of a fair grounds since it takes in most every major reviewer and nobody is ever going to agree on a single reviewer all the time.
For instance, today it's torches and pitchforks against IGN but when they release the GT5 review and give it the inevitable 10/10 I'm sure they'll love them again.
