Until Dawn most definitely was a AAA budgeted game (which also had a 3-year dev cycle, btw). But even if it wasn't, that's a shifting argument and grasping @ straws. Why is a 78 mediocre, to you? I keep hearing it's about "VGC's gamers expectations" - yet, our average was a mere 5 points higher. So no, the reviews are not mediocre based even on that shifting of rules.

ANything below an 80 is below average.

Below average +mediocre (imo)

Average in terms of what? The VGC's prediction average? The average score of XB1 games?

And for the last time, mediocre means neither good nor bad. On a 10-point scale, a mediocre game is usually scored as a 5. Look at Destructoid, PS Lifestyle, and IGN's review policies as examples. Their criteria for scores above and below 5 are different, but they're very similar when it comes to giving a 5.
