| CGI-Quality said: Tell me, when did two points behind an 80 become "not good"? Expectations, to me, are pointless, given you can only be talking about gamer expectation (like myself, who expected nine points higher, but still acknowledge that a 78 isn't "bad" by any means). Plus executives, unless stated, don't give a numeric expectation of a game. If a 78 isn't a good score, some of you must not have been around prior to the 5 & 6th gens. Only after last gen did such a number become "mediocre" (and another reason why I say we need to do away with the numeric system, but this isn't the topic for that). |
I would also like to add that "mediocre" would be a 5/10 since the definition of the word is "neither good nor bad". A 78 average is between "good" (7) and "very good" (8) territory. A more accurate description of Quantum Break's score is that it's not a masterpiece, but it's a very solid game.
