Words have meaning, and are not subject to re-interpretation just because some website thinks they can.  I understand your point, but just because the average joe accepted it, doesn't make it right.


Thats a bit BS....the person who writes the review gets sole dominion over what the final score means. If you think that they are using the score incorrectly, then feel free to object to their system, but do not misrepresent the review to artificially inflate their opinion on the percieved worth of the game...

No, they don't.  They can't just redefine already established words.  Sorry, that's just incorrect and stupid.  If the games below average, give it a fucking 40, why is that a problem?   We've let it go on for long enough, exemplified by how Metacritic has a different scale for Good/Bad between movies and games.  Other people can accept it, but I'll always point it out as idiotic.  Because it is.  We have numbers for below average on a 0-100 scale, and that's 49 and below.
