And that's my point, why the fuck would you say 70-89 is mediocre when 40-69 exists?

ALso not to mention you then start talking about how you grade like old school (which is a damn lie otherwise there wouldn't be as big a skew) reviewers.

you'd do well to refrain from cursing, it nullifies your argument regardless of how accurate your statements may be.  Just a word of advice.  

I don't recall saying 70-89 was 'mediocre', I said it was average for popular releases. Again with the extrapolating.  and again with the "why does it matter anyway?" 

Explain to me how I don't review like old school reviewers.  I talk about level design, I talk about difficulty curves, I talk about controls, I talk about fun factor and functionality.  I put gameplay first and foremost in my reviews, I always have.  How is that not oldschool?  just because I give a touch more lenience when it comes to inconsequential, infrequent glitches doesn't mean my assertion is suddenly nullified.  it's becoming increasingly clear you have an agenda.  Do us all a favor and take it over there, please.
