It is in my eyes. Much like Halo 5 getting a Metacritic of 84. Games like the original Halo, Metal Gear Solid, Ocarina of time, Super Mario 64, Goldeneye, Gran Turismo 3, Street Fighter 2 etc were all ground breaking games and still resonate and play well to this day. To see their follow ups get in the low-to-mid 80s is a disappointment especially when such flaws are very evident(Halo 5's extremely short campaign for example). I know it is hard to innovate and make even better sequels to excellent games, but such a drop as we see here is disappointing.. In my opinion. Street Fighter IV may have been an anomaly but at least it was a complete game....

Yeah, it was so complete, that it needed several iterations. 
To me, people harp too much on scores. This way, the "drop" wouldn't be felt in the same way - if there is one. I've heard nothing but good things about SFV's core gameplay (and found Halo 5 to be better than a lot of the previous games). I paid no attention to the scores and I'm happy I did. Otherwise, I would have avoided what some called a "disappointing game", even if they never played it themselves. Why? Based on a number.

Ahhh but I never said the game itself was disappointing :P I said the score was disappointing. I will give it a go this weekend, I'm sure I will like it.
