I'll be honest I don't pay much attention to Metacritic anymore but when I used to it was more of a sliding scale, so you'd probably have to get into the 50s for an auto-turn off, above that and I would just use my personal taste to decide what to buy and for how much, as well as impressions from forums and things.

I think it's mainly because I like Dynasty Warriors - it never does that well, but I love it :)

I wouldn't bother myself with anything below 80. But Knack, the Mario-Killer, is an exception.

You think Knack is better than Mario. That's cute.

I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Under 70. Normally I'd consider 60 BARELY good but this is about Metascores and that's a different story.

Anything below 75 for me at metacritic i consider bad in general tbh.

Except certain games that i was planning to buy no matter what the the critic scores was... Example: Beyond: Two Souls.
