So a 7/10 is considered "not looking good"? Does everything need to be 8+ to be considered good nowadays? 

exactly what I was thinking. Its one review from one site and its still not bad.

Reviews are broken any way as there is no standard. One quality game gets a 4/10 but isnt broken, while a broken but hyped game gets all its flaws excused and gets a 9/10.

I will take reviews seriously when they adopt a rating standard that doesnt involve opinion to score the tech of the game with a side part for the reviewers personal opinion on the game and their track record for scoring accessible to see how their opinion matches mine on games over time.

they're also particularly a crapshoot when it comes to sequels.  Ratchet gets docked for having upgrading weapons again but COD doesn't get docked for having perks?  The games they want to score higher or that the reviewer is a fan of he'll say "it's more of the same...but isn't that what we all wanted!?  9/10!" and if he's not as big a fan he'll say something like "too much of the same it feels stagnant.  7/10"

very true.
