I certainly am. Hell, the game comes out tomorrow and I can't find anything on it. Paid the game off already but I don't wan't to pay $60 for it if it's less than a 6/10 game. Metal Gear Vita comes out tomorrow and I could get that instead. Anyway:

I would say this type of attitude is one of the industries biggest problems and the reason why developers get bonuses paid on metacritic ratings etc.
You don't want to pay full price if it's less than 6/10. That's not 6/10 in your opinion but 6/10 based on the aggregated opinions of reviewers who are taken into account on websites. In fact I would say most gamers wouldn't even think of a game on a 10 scale in their own head. You don't finish a game and go 'huh that was about a 7/10'' or when a friend asks go ''Yea it's a 6.5/10''. You think about the experience as a whole. I just finished spending around 50 hours in Dragon's Dogma and not once in my mind did numerically grading it pop up.
I'm not even entirely sure what being less than 6/10 means. So if you liked it but it got below that on metacritic you would be annoyed you paid that price?
It's a Suda 51 game. I can probably write the average review from sites like ign etc for you right now. Weird and interesting experience, solid if unspectacular gameplay mechanics, some very funny bits and some bits that fall flat, graphically okay but has nice style, light on content - 7/10.
Although you do possibly have grounds to be annoyed at paying $60 anyway. Over here in the UK it is launching at £30 instead of the normal £40. The equivalent to a game launching at $40 instead of $60 in the US I suppose.

I'm left speechless by this post. Also, come to my Dragon's Dogma thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=143665&page=1#
