Very few games get 50 or below so it's quite hard to consider it average. Average is the type of game that you would like to play unless you have several must have still waiting on your backlog, not a game that you don't want to even try.

Yeah and it's all down to reviewers lol, it's weird how differently games are scored on Metacritic as opposed to films... seems like I see more films hovering around the 50 region that are considered average, whereas with games anything below 75 for some people is considered utter trash, there are even those who won't even touch a game if it scores below 80, which I find a little absurd, they could be missing out on some really great games, you don't always have to agree with reviewers, lol. The way games are reviewed is something I really disagree with, and it's also why I very rarely look to reviews to determine whether I want to buy a game or not :P 

I agree with you and would be totally ok with the score using the full scale more often... but for games they score like if it at least can be played it already get over 50 on metacritic....

The gaming score seems like the dance of famous on Brazil TV or the Carnival where the minimal acceptable score is 95 (only total catastrophic get as low as 80) and even 99 isn't very much liked.

Seems like what I said in another thread of 70 being considered bad score and 80 average isn't something I was making up...

But that's literally only one person- the OP.

 

Read some of the replies.

I have read, you should as well, and won't be a single person.
