Slightly off-topic, but do you guys think there have been lower scores across the board because the games are of lesser quality? Or because editors and reviewers are responding to criticism about score inflation? Or something else?

Maybe a response to the direction games are heading in, all becoming action shooter rpg hybrids, combined with franchise fatigue. Reviewers play all these games back to back, they would be the first to applaud originality and breaking the mold.

Bioshock infite and the last of us have a shot at 90+ if they can set themselves apart from the standard 'kill, gather, upgrade' grind.
