None of those reviews are bad though (which is the very issue I have with gamers and the industry alike). If games don't 9s/10s across the board, it's considered "bad". I think there's a combination of things that caused the lower-than-KZ2-reviews in some cases, but it's still a situation that's far from bad. I am little surprised myself at some of the numbers, but when you read the full reviews, you get a better picture of the reviewer's thoughts. It's not a personal complaint with you though, just a pet-peave of mine |
It depends on the game. If tomorrow atelier rorona gets an 88 on metacritic I will go buy it day 1 (lol).
However if Uncharted 3 were to get 88, it would be disappointing. And it will be considered as "bad" by some people.
A high profile shooter game like killzone 3 should have done a lil better, in my opinion. I will be getting killzone 3 anyway though, lol.
