7.8? Meh. So this is pretty much a nail in the coffin of this game selling great.

Since when was 7.8 a bad score for a game? I thought that meant "above average" myself... or maybe I'm just old enough to remember when 9s and 10s didn't get thrown around all over the place. I actually think that's a very fair score for this game, which certainly has a lot more cult appeal than mainstream interest.

I mean, do you really think that No More Heroes should be getting a 9 score? I think it falls quite a bit short of that, from the (admittedly) little content I've seen. Score inflation for the win...

I would argue that you nor anyone else has the right to form an opinion on the validity of a score until they have played the game in question. Of course, that doesn't mean we can't discuss it in comparison to other scores and estimate what other scores will be. Just that no one should be saying "He's wrong" until they have the game.

I think that this is correct in most cases.
