People who think that 7/10 games aren't good just haven't played any bad games.
I'm sure there exist people who only played legendary games and once they start playing 9/10 games they will complain how shitty they are. At the same time there are kids who grew up with nothing but Carnival Games, Deca Sports, Game Party and other Wii shovelware and they will go ape shit once they play a game like Days Gone.

So yeah, 7/10 games are good and fun but with a few flaws. 5/10 and 6/10 games are very much playable but will certainly be boring after a while.
Everything below that has major issues.

The reason why 7/10 is considered bad is because the general quality of games is pretty high. A 7/10 game is nothing special. Gameplay not as good as comparable games, may not be as impressive looking as other games, story has been done before etc.. That's why many games receive a score like that. Something under 5/10 is a lot rarer because most companies would cancel a game like that way in advance or invest more time and money to get it above 5/10.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever played a truly bad game. Being spoiled all day with 8/10's and 9/10's will do that.

That's a flawed logic to go by because unless you personally try a game to see if you like it, than basing everything off a score is obsolete.

Iv played games in the 80s and 90s which I never really liked yet iv played games in the 60s and 70s and liked them.

There are a lot of gamers on this site who actually enjoy Days Gone (72) to say you don't like it based off its rating is well.. wrong.

I loved playing Homeworld Deserts of Kharak which sits on a 79, it doesn't need to be a 9 to catch my interests and if I went with a similar logic to yours, I would have missed that gem.

I've also played games in the 80's and 90's that I never really liked. I'm not saying that something in the 80's and 90's is a must buy for everyone. Depending on the genre you might not like it. For example, I'll never like Forza or post Reach Halo. 

I don't know whether or not I like Days Gone or not. I haven't played it. I said earlier in this thread that I'm going to buy it and try it out.

Rage 2 has hit a 76, I'm curious Cerebral, How are you going to judge this? Is it an instant write off now that it is two points below you're tsrget score or how will you handle it, presuming you are interested yo begin with. Lets say you are interested for the sake of it, I'm genuinly curious. I'm having a hard time judging myself as my FPS reviewers are mixed on different points regarding the console versions.

I was never interested in Rage 2. Not one bit. FPS games hardly interest me anymore. I think I've bought 5 FPS or 3rd Person Shooter games in the last ten years. And that's counting games like Splatoon and Splatoon 2. I hate FPS, but I was willing to give Nintendo's take on it a try. 

Oh, and games with FPS elements but other factors are fine for me. Fallout and Dishonored are fine. If it's a pure military or adventure FPS though I almost certainly won't be interested.
