Has it really come to this that a mediocre game is now a 7 from single reviewers? I get that an aggragate score is weighted but when you do a single review for a game you are literally trashing and give it a 7, your score looses meaning. If they all scored properly perhaps MC and OC reviews of 80 or less would not be looked upon with suspicion and 60-70's as bad games. If call the game less than mediocre with technical issues abound then score it as such with a 5 or less. 70s... FFS. |
7 has been considered "mediocre" for a very long time in the reviewing world, especially for games. I typically think anything under a 7 must have significant technical problems these days, when that should be reserved for things below a 5. Gives such a tight window for what is actually considered good. I think its a large part of why some people only play 9s and up these days.
