| Figgycal said: 70 may be average, but even then it still isn't a grade you want to bring home to your parents. I don't think I've ever been okay with getting less than an 80. Likewise -- the lowest meta game I played was a 78. |
So would you rather play a game everyone rates 8/10? Or a game 75% of people rate 9/10 and 25% rate 6/10? Which one is the better game?
I actually think the bigger problem now is that so many of these reviews are given by people who don't actually know what they're talking about (see number of criticisms of Sonic Lost World being "too slow" when it was clearly the reviewer hadn't actually figured out there was a run button). You're better off getting impressions of games from people you know also have similar tastes.
As for 70%... hell every single student in the UK would love to get that mark on their degree, it gives you the highest possible degree ranking (First with Honours).
