What a bunch of sissies

It does look like a great game. I really want to get it but I know exactly what willl happen if I buy this game. I'll start to play it get scared and not want to play anymore. I bought and returned Dead space at least 3 times because I really wanted to get into the game it was fun but I just can't handle being scared I hate it.

A lot of major sites will lose credibility this gen if the sales review disparity widens.

So many games that got 9s I didn't even finish but games liked Destiny that got panned by major sites, I've put over 80 hrs in.

The grading system used in schools has conditioned people to think otherwise. In all schools, less than 60% is a failing grade, and in some schools, less than 70% means you failed. 70-79% is weak, 80-89% is mediocre, and only 90% or above is considered truly "good."

When gaming websites use A/B/C/D/F letter grades in gaming reviews, Metacritic grades them far more harshly. A "C" grade is generally translated as 50-60% on Metacritic, which means a failure.

Less than 50% is a failing grade here in most schools. Very few get 90%+ and that is considered excellent.

Why are reviews like Gametrailers (9) and AusGamer (10) added to the Xbox version but not the PS4 one? Weird. Seems to be bringing the score down.

The average of all the reviews out there is 83, as per NeoGaf. Seems pretty good to me.

In the United States, if you don't make at least 60% (or 70% in some schools), you've failed the test. If you don't make at least a 60% or 70% average in overall classwork, you fail the class, and that's the mindset of American consumers. So they look at a game pulling 76% on Metacritic as the equivalent of a student that just spent Algebra II playing pocket pool and did only the bare minimum of work required to pass.

An interesting read...

Since the last few years. At least, that's how people act.

Still missing the part where 7/10 is something terrible, rather than reviewers and the problems they sure have i think people should start watching their own judgement
