| mZuzek said: On another note, it's really ridiculous how people see 7's as bad scores in game journalism. Like if you go on Metacritic, sure, Sterling's score of 7.5 still counts as "positive", but as much as one decimal lower and it'd be yellow. Any game you play and say "eh it was fine" is an 8/10. Whereas for any other type of media, the same feeling would probably be a 6/10. All Sterling is doing is giving 7's for games they enjoyed. But since everyone else inflates scores so much, we end up with an infinity of games in the 80-95 range, and within that you have games of vastly different quality. |
Phenomenon has been exacerbated when Metacritic also decided to color code game in the 70's range as yellow, whislt before, they had a light green tone instead.
But it's true to say the range of attributed scores has diminished along the years.
Seeing games in the 50's-60's has been far fewer knowadays than during the X360,Wii and PS3 generation.
