How is "almost green" contradictory to "such scores"?
And the bolded is not irrelevant, saying context is irrelevant is what is irrelevant.

The connotation of "almost green" is that the score is not that low, or quite justifiable. In this context you abscribe the attribute of "be so low" to a 7/10 score, which implies that it is a bad score for an otherwise universally acclaimed game. Furthermore, you have a post history of painting scores in the 70's as pretty good (see your posts in the Mass Effect: Andromeda thread.) It comes off as hipocracy that all of a sudden a 7/10 is "so low" because it is a game you enjoyed (not saying I disagree; Diablo was a groundbreaking game and doesn't deserve a 7/10.)

None of the bolded affected this point, it was only a matter of degree rather than type of reaction, so that is why it is irrelevant. 

You can think that 7 is a pretty good score for some games, and an unacceptable score for other games. Context, opinions, stuff like that...
