Ever since gaming reviewers started giving every hyped  game a 9/10, 7/10 is now considered to be a bad score.

What's wrong with 7/10? It's average, it's not a terrible score.

The review system has gotten so stupid. <_<

yeah, i would totally bone a 7

Average means it isn't good.

Son, what would mommy think?

ummm, yep.

7/10 is a worth while buy if it's a genre you like. Heck 5/10 is worth it if it's the ONLY game in the genre you like.

Problem with the review system. Is that reviewers are jaded, biased and guided by management to specific games for their tastes. With that it leaves that the jaded taste is not a practical taste suited for most people. Oddly enough I have personally found actual developers better reviewers than people who are gamers.

I know a few developers mostly through another friends so my contact with them is limited. Often though they don't judge based on standards of desires, but instead on values of what does it accomplish and if it does it well. They don't judge graphics by WOW factor, but instead judge by how effective the graphics are to the machine.

That's why a number of people here stopped listening to reviewers. The best reviewers can offer these days is an insight to the content of the game itself. Does NameLess FPS 13 offer wanted feature Y.. and so on.

You aren't my father! Rainbird told me the truth!

The problem is 7/10 is a number on a scale that isn't universally accepted.

So it doesn't really mean anything other then one review decided it was a 7/10 on their scale.
In order to know more that reviewers review history, and the written review would need to be read.

If it is like the same when Gamespot gave Lost Odyssey a 7 then its good :P

What's wrong with 7/10? Everything. :P

Haha well most games can be average and score a 7/10. People want to be buy quality games, similarly people want to watch quality movies, well most people lol.

I like how metacritic uses a different scaling for videogames then movies.
