In the gaming media, a 75 is generally used to denote "okay-ish". It's just 1 percentage point above a yellow or "mixed" tag.

You have to draw the line somewhere. Metacritic does it between 74 and 75 but that doesn't mean that there's a world of difference between these scores. It also doesn't mean that the "gaming media" (incredibly generalizing) shares the same views.

Also, you seem to forget that this is an (weighted) average score. Just because your personal score is a bit higher doesn't make it wrong. There were plenty of reviews in the 80s or higher but at the same time just as many in the 70s or lower.

I'm just saying, gamers and the gaming media generally don't treat a 75 as particularly good.
