A 60 isn't failing, it's a D. It's not the best grade but if that class isn't in your major fuck it, the D is fine just don't get too many.
Doesn't matter, I want to see if anyone got a median for it, as that is the sole factor if it's good or not.

The Witness was also $40.
Everyone knows that few to no review sites give out 0, 1 or 2s or even 5s. A game with a score of 7 is therefore pretty much considered average, which is also in line with OpenCritic. It's not a good game.
Pretty much all console games get a review score. And it's mostly those games which are relevant for the audience on here and in core or hardcore gaming.
Not sure what you want in terms of price. A (not really) low price doesn't make an average game good.
What? No.
AAA titles will almost always get 100%, since unless they're absolutely hot garbage they won't get below a 60 or 70... That would be a terrible gauge of quality.

I have to agree but I also feel this has been the most underwhelming gen overall in my life time. I think Sony offers more diversity to be honest but that doesn't mean high quality and MS are far too predictable for my liking.

"Fuck sake"? Is that really necessary?
A 60 is a B in Europe so I think trying to apply school grade analogies to videogames should be avoided!

D's Don't get Degrees
I guess a D is fine if you're just going to college to spend a lot of money to fuck around.

Nobody cares how games relate to trash they've never heard of and aren't going to play. It's not a flaw at all to not throw a bunch of shit down at the bottom of the scale so you have some kind of balance. The grading scale could literally be between 39.6 and 44.7 and it wouldn't matter. You look at the score, understand how that score relates to how every other game has been scored since the history of game reviews, and that's all the information you need.
You're trying to argue semantics because you can't seem to understand what's actually happening.

When a Polygon review starts like this
For an Xbox game, it's probably not good
For an Xbox game, it's probably not good
I'd say it is actually getting closer to 6.5.
It definitely used to be 7 a few years ago, but reviewers have gotten a bit harsher. Probably due to all the lashback that they got for 'not using all of the scale'.
The funny thing is, 60%-70% is actually considered a good pass from Universities in the UK.

Besides getting extra attention because it's 'exclusive', I had no idea why people were looking forward to this game.

You could easily adjust to 7/10 for fresh.
But isn't that the point I tried to make with moving the score from 0-10 to 2-12 instead? That way the score system makes sense again
Ahhh it's all a mess, as for the price it's fine IMO, it doesn't need to be a great game, just keep me busy for a few hours. I was just curious how the score average is between $40 titles as there have been a good few.

Colin Moriarty said this game was going to be a turd when he played it.

Ouch. I might still enjoy this anyway. It looked so promising I even preordered it, which I don't do often.

A 70% in school was a C which was average which was not a good score.
A 50% would be a fail.
Just what I was thinking. "Hey guys, let's take the most unfavorable part of Metroid Prime and do it again, only much worse!"
I'm perturbed... One one hand, we have Metroid Prime Federation Force imploding on impact, and on the other we have some of the guys behind Metroid Prime making a game that's imploding on impact.
Either way, it feels like some sort of Metroid-curse like a vengeful pharaoh going after the people who desecrated its legacy or abandoned him.
Why would it be hard to grasp why some people might like a thing you don't like?

Part of it is the death of AA games (kinda like ReCore). You had tons more AA games in the PS2 era, so when the AAA juggernauts came out, they were guaranteed that top end of the spectrum. Now that the games that took up the 6-8 range have disappeared, AAA games have spread out along the scale and it takes a lot more to stand out and hit the high end.

At the first reveal I was really interested in this game but we only saw a trailer. When we saw more information at the last E3 I wasn't sure how I felt and it looked a little rough. This past week I have been watching people play the game and for some reason it has really drawn me in. The downfalls are obvious but the game simply looks fun. These reviews are a little worrisome but I still think I'm going to have fun with this game. I'm going to purchase it and give it a shot.
Where is that in Europe? Not the countries I lived in.

You achieve the same by ranking average scores in percentiles as on Open Critic. That way you can identify stinkers despite score inflation.
40 EUR might be fine for you. At the same time, you can get some great titles at that price or less. You can also get shittier titles for more.

All I watched was 35 seconds gameplay video then I brushed off the game from my radar.
It looked bad, played bad.

5/10 is The True Average, so say we all.

I'm surprised it's not even lower. Every gameplay video has looked aggressively mediocre and amateurish.
The game never looked like a AAA-game from the beginning. The 40 dollar price tag makes it more bearable to deal with some of the jankiness. I'm surprised the game is so long however. I didn't expect a 20 hour campaign on a 40 dollar game. I hope some patches in the future can help with the loading times and I really hope the game runs well on my PC.
I have to say though that the score disparity between reviewers are pretty high. From low 3's to 8's. Kind of hard to judge quality from that. Jim's review with a 7/10 looks really promising though. AA-platformer like from the golden era with some jank, seems right with a 7.

Like a 60/100? Because here in the States as a white male the average GPA to get into Medical School is like 3.7 on a 4.0 scale. Which is pretty is pretty much 93% or higher in every class o_o
In the UK. Looks like I am mistaken regarding other European countries, as it seems to vary a lot.
Either the tests are much harder or the standards are a lot lower. Which is it?

No mate, far from it.
The reveal trailer made it look like a AAA game. Though no one should make expectations based on a CG trailer.

Are you in the US? Have they changed rating scale since I've been to school?
It was always like this for me up til high school:
65-73 = D
74-82 = C
83-91 = B
92-100 = A
*I see it is different now on wikipedia.
It was being made by people who also worked on Metroid Prime.

RT doesn't automatically assume that 60 or 70s are fresh, you can still submit it as rotten.
Ok how about this. The critic score median is 5.
I'd have to agree If One is the worst and 10 is the best. That would actually make Five the middle ground Average. At least that's how I look at a 1 to 10 scale.
In Sweden and Germany it's definitely not. There you often fail with 40-60℅.
