He basically says it, "score inflation is a big problem." --- In other words, he is against "overinflated reviews" which ultimately affected this review.

I don't think he's saying that GoW's reviews are inflated, but all game reviews are inflated and that GC takes issues with that.  

As in the average game review is a 74, so the average game review is inflated by 24 points.  As opposed to 50 being an average.  

 

He's basically arguing that the bottom part of the scale is becoming meaningless, and using GoW's 75 as an example.  

In other words, a 75 is a fantastic score that's well above what should be the average.  

But they don't follow that logic. Their average score is 67 and not the 50, which isn't much lower than everyone else. They still overinflate a ton of games, just not the critical darlings it seems.
