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.
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.
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.

Lets just say it is a game you are interested in, what would you do at 76? Where do I go now for example? At 76 it is two points short... do I just slap it off the list or what?

My original cutoff point was 80/100. I went for 78 to allow for some leeway, for various reasons. If a game gets 78 or 79 and it's something I'm really, really, interested in I'll still pick it up. But a 76 is almost always a no go for me.
Days Gone is the one exception to this for the entire year. The game looks really good to me, and I can't understand why it got the reviews it got. Even the Easy Allies, and Destructoid reviews (which are my top two trusted reviewers), couldn't convince me that it was a 6 (Destructoid), or a 7.5 (Easy Allies).
