Disappointing thread. I came for a discussion about why the Metacritic system is flawed but instead it's an "I don't think game X deserves high scores".
What absolutely sucks is the premise that 70 and below are bad and 80 is on the cusp of average. Because of that, we get tons of perfect scores, which tells us very little. How can a game where the reviewer points out several flaws still get a 100? Makes no sense. If the average was 50, there would be so much more room to operate on the upper scale.
