Let's have an English lesson.
Please tell me the difference between the following two items:
and
"Famitsu gave this game a 9/7/7/6 so it's medicore."
Ding ding ding! Time is up.
The first is a set of two independent clauses (sentence and sentence fragment) while the second consists of an independent clause and a dependent clause joined together with a coordinating conjunction. In the first set, the items are not necessarily related. In the second set, the items are definitely related due to the use of the coordinating conjunction.
Now, you typically learn about these things in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th grades depending on your school and I tend to assume that most posters here have at least a 3rd grade education.
Perhaps my assumption is wrong.

You seem to have taken offense, when no one has offended you 0_O?!
you said, "This game got a 9/7/7/6 from Famitsu. Seems mediocre."
Black: first you gave a source of information that gives an unfavorable review of the game.
Red: you gave an inclination that you have begun to percieve an opinion on the game.
Blue: you gave a discription of your percieved opinion deriving from your source.
Me and Amat simply were saying that the source is not the best. They have been way off base before.
And your reply seems to incline that you were not calling the game mediocre which is completely contradictary to how you phrased your sentence. You gave two direct statements. A source of data, and a opinion in the following sentence. When combining them together it makes it seem as if your second statement derives from the information layed by the first statement. If that was not the impression you wished to make you could have said something like...
"This game got a 9/7/7/6 from Famitsu. Seems mediocre to them."
or
"This game got a 9/7/7/6,a mediocre review, from Famitsu. "
