Cmon now, this is Xbox, we take anything that’s not a 64 as “good” 

That's harsh. At least it's not day one game pass, that would prevent tarnishing GP's reputation on having day one average games

Gamepass still living rent free huh? Greatest deal in gaming.

Never said it was great.. said it was pretty good/favorable. It's one line of text lol. 

Okay then 74 isn't that good/favorable

Really shows how broken videogame criticism is when anything below 80 is bad.

A reputation by people that have a bias and apparently can't see the highly rated day ones that launch on the service

Gonna be a rough one once Wo Long launches....

Also just so everyone here know, that game is coming DAY ONE, into Gamepass.

Also check out Hi-Fi Rush: Generally Favorable score of 88. #ad

Like which ones ? I only recall Forza and Psychonauts 2, but that was years ago

EDIT: oh correct, Hi-Fi rush

Do you really expect this game to have a high score ?



There are plenty of games that I have enjoyed that were sub 80 Meta, I wouldn’t give scores that much weight especially when you consider how bad many VG Journalists are these days.

For example in my personal opinion Ghosts of Tsushima is a much better game than Horizon Zero Dawn and yet it only scored an 83, High on Life was given a score of 67 despite the fact that it was a good game and had very fun combat, then you have Journos giving Stray a high score and was nominated for GOTY despite a handful of other indie games that were better.

My personal rating has always been.

  • 7/10 = Good.
  • 8/10 = Great.
  • 9/10 = Amazing.
  • 10/10 = Impossible (Kappa).

But yes, over the last gen and this gen, anything below an 8/10 somehow got a reputation of being trash and not worth considering, Lol.

Jk

Yeah, it mostly comes from Twitter console warriors and doesn't really have any merit.

Don't see why we should care about it, the hardcore know it's nonsense and the casual market don't give a shit about review scores, Lol.
