Not sure if it was @Spade or someone else, but I wanted to revive that Star Trek: Resurgence OC score discussion:

https://opencritic.com/game/14957/star-trek-resurgence

See how a few tougher critics giving it flat 7's can bump u its recommended percentage to 40%, versus the mid-20% of before?

It was me, yeah. Glad to see the recommended percentage is up, was pretty crazy how low it was before when the average score was that high at the time.

Oh great Jeff is hosting Gamescom, another event I might avoid to watch. Why not have him host everything, let him have the Xbox conference too. Ugh.

This fucking sucks. I hate that guy so much.

Anyone but him seriously, dude is so annoying.

And it's a good insight into how the sausage is made.  You can have this dynamic of a game continually floating in the 6.5-7.5 range with a tepid recommended rating, but then something else with a similar score nabbing a bigger share all b/c maybe more Top Critics were cleanly split between 8/10 or 6/10.  There's less muddiness between that disparity since most sites' avg. score floats around a mid-7.

15,000! Only 5,000 to go until 20,000! Very unlikely now but we are pretty close to hitting 20,000 comments within a year of opening (10th November 2022). By comparison, the previous Xbox Empire under myself reached over 30,000 (I don't have the exact number due to the deletion) in around 2 years, 10 months. So I think activity is a bit up even.
