I really don't pay much attention to meta anymore. From the fan side its either a 1 or a 10 and nothing in between.The critics all use a 3 point system 10 = good 9 .5 = mediocre 9 and lower = shit you won't care about next week.
Then you have games like GTA IV getting a 98 (a great game, but not a 98 maybe a 90)

AssAssAssCreed3 at 85. No where near deserving that. Rushed terrible story, bad graphics, mediocre gameplay. i played with the tomahawk pretty much the entire game and used nothing else unless forced and never felt like i needed to. The game is closer to a 6 at best.
And some of the games i loved and played the most this gen didn't end up with 90+ scores. and yet i'm still playing over and over.
