They started with this gen, as I said, we are in the middle of it and still didn't get a single mid-high 90 score yet (Nintendo already moved consoles without a single of them), and games that were hitting 90s before are now hitting 80s, like Halo, Xenoblade, Gears, Far Cry, Little Big Planet (from 90s to 70s), etc.

Regarding your next post, pretty clear I'm talking about Metacritic on the post you quoted, not GameRankings, so the remark is pointless to that post.

*cough*Uncharted 4*cough*Bloodborne*cough*

Both games are in low 90s, not mid or high 90s. The only two games that manage a 94+ score on PS4 are enhanced editions of last gen games (TLoU and GTA V).

For comparisons sake I looked at all PS3 games on metacritic rated 90+ and same with PS4 games. I counted the games that were made for that generation, so excluded enhanced editions, or HD ports.

PS3 has 49 games rated 90+. Of those 7 being sports games. 3 being music games. And 6 being downloadable only games.

PS4 has 6 games rated 90+. Of those 1 is downloadable only game.

I realize that PS3 has had more time, but the difference shouldn't be that massive. It should be at least a third of that number. So either critics have gotten way harsher and don't give out as high scores anymore, or the quality of games has significantly gone down (which I wouldn't agree with).
