No, that is only one misguided person. Look at every single reply in that entire thread. So far sales figures show it is having the best debut in the series. And how is 81 reception "bad'?

No, sub-80 is only scuffed at because there are way better games available to play, that people don't bother with just average/decent games. For example I'm not going to touch sea of thieves. However, 7 is merely an average score. The claim that 80 is average and 70 is bad is pure bullshit, sorry to say.

But seems like you haven't read the warning since you're here just to take lowkey shots at the game.

Saying below 80 metacritic on VGC have been considered bad for a long time is taking a lowkey shot on a game? If you are asking me about reading warnings be careful about the part of keeping civil.

You said yourself, when the best game and which people want to play are near 90 score, a 80 is considered an average game so 70 is on the bad portion. Games aren't looked as arithmetic mean, it is just that for something that you have limited time to play or budget, a 69 isn't considered average or good, for most people it's considered not worth to try.

THIS^^^

Have you bothered to check the caveat he put with "cracked down this gen"

You are quite new to VGC, for several years games below 80 were scoffed at over here.

Now you are just spewing out total nonsense. 80 is not considered average. 80 is considered a solid score. 70 is average. You should know this considering you've been here for so long.....apparently not, tho. Also you are right. People want to play good games and not average games. Average games arent worth trying when there are way better games out there.  People loved Assassins creed origins, and that scored 81. Is that game average? No, not even close. It has to score a full 10 points lower to be considered "average"

And we are talking about this gen, since Sea of Thieves is in this gen. Not sure what you're trying to say there. Any other gen is irrelevant.

And I've been a lurker here since 2013 btw. 

edit: I'm bowing out of here. You keep repeating your same invalid points over and over again that aren't backed up by any evidence whatsoever.
