I think I lowkey agree with you people think anything that runs deserve to get a 5, that's why the scores are so high. In most industries, a movie can score mid 50 and being "mixed", while in gaming mixed review is closer to 70. A very bad movie probably would score something under 30, but a very bad game would hardly score anything lower than 50 Bad would be something from 4 to 5 to me, but I can't remember many games that I've scored lower than a 4. That's because to get a 3 the game must be so annoying that I would probably dropped it before thinking I could fairly score it. Recently I tried Subject 13, I dropped it after 40 to 50 because the controls made no sense and the screen doesn't give you clues of how to progress on it. That's a exemple of a game I would score 2 or 3, if I have the patience to push myself for some hour |
Maybe I'll get handed my ass to me for saying this, but I think most games that score between 50 and 70 are not that bad, they have their redeeming qualities and there's enough reason to believe some people in the world might appreciate such games. At least I get that impression since I hardly play anything that ends scoring lower than 80 in MC. I don't do it on purpose, I usually just play what I'm familiar with or catches my attention.
But yeah, I feel games that score 7 are still good, 6 games are acceptable or passable, and 5 games are mediocre, which is still not bad, if that makes sense.
My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
