Why anything below a 70/100 is deemed a BAD SCORE....

We had a descriptors system at school... (excellent, great, satisfactory, needs improvement).

I did in early Elementary. After about 3rd Grade it changed to Letter Grades for me.

I agree with the mindset tho, A good game to me should be 70 or above, to give a game a score below that is a "failing" grade and gives the impression I should not buy it. No game that is at least decent should ever get a score lower than that. That is why I think it is horrible that Sites like Eurogamer score games so low, especially when everyone that reads it is percieving the score in THIS mindset.

Thats why when I see scores like 50s and below..... I become very sceptical of both game and reviewer. The only time you could recieve an F is when you basically didn't turn anything in and/or showed no effort. Its hard to deem any game completely unenjoyable.....like....at all. I can't think of a single game that I think that about and I have played plenty of games I did not like.
