The system IS broken, but this crummy review is not the problem. The problem is gross score inflation, not one low-ball review. And the problem is also the weird belief from fans that anything below a 80/100 is a mediocre score. We as fans are part of this problem. I've seen posts in this thread saying Halo 4 can't possibly be lower than a 80. Well, yes it can. It could be worse. It could be a bad game. We need to drop our own unreasonable expectations, and maybe critics will start to grade games more realistically. Ideally, it would be the other way around -- critics would inform their readers -- but I don't have much faith in that scenario.
