So Don, quick question. Do you consider anything scored a 7 a bad game?

If I were to give a 7 to a game it would be on the realm of the forgetful, won't touch this anymore. If you are asking about metacritic, for the history of VGC 80 have been considered average and 70 bad, and you won't ever see me in any thread saying I agree or use metacritic for anything (in fact most users on this site don't agree with metacritic and when looking at reviews prefer to look at a reviewer that have similar taste to them). Still the point stand (not that SoT is bad because of the metacritic) but that a 69 on metacritic have been considered a bad score (not a bad game, you can differentiate right) for a long time on VGC.

Reason I am asking is because if many in here want to jump on SoTs reviews based off Critics than all games should be considered equal. I remember you defending Gran Turismo Sport that suffered the same fate as SoTs with its lack of content at launch where the game sits on a 75 Metacritic. Someone like yourself who is a GT fan, do you consider GTS a bad game because its a 7 game by majority of critics?

Reviews are nothing but guidelines, I can see that some gamers fall in love with games that reviewed averagely. To me games are only judged by those who actually played them.
