There is when you've spent as much money on a game as Ubisoft have on Watch Dogs.

If this really turns out to be a 7 on average I don't wanna see the pre-delay game.

I'll wait for the other scores but seems like an average experience. Going to wait for a price drop at this point.

There is when this game has been hyped for two years and even got a six month delay so Ubi could further polish it.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
People have been saying that for years. In practice, the real scale is 7-10, unless something is just an abject piece of shit, in which case it gets a 6.5.
It is stupid.

One mediocre review doesnt make it a mediocre game. That MP stuff is crap but there may be other reviews that praise the game and give it a higher score. Some of the best reviewed games out there get some 6s and 7s.

Generic ubisoft AAA game, always a solid 6 max.
The open world obsession is something I will never understand, so many of them are empty and utterly dull to explore, not to mention filled with absolute fluff in an attempt to artificially lengthen the game.
Ubi knows people will buy it. They put out average AC every year, and it get's lapped up. The review even says the Single player is good and it's getting dinged for online. That seems better then average to me at least since I could not give a fuck about online.

Well, that's one title I can scratch off my list.

western journos have been using an 8-10 scale for ages, this shouldn't be surprising
You'd think such an important would be mentioned though. Guess we'll see what other reviews say. Is the embargo on release day?

No one has even played the game yet, how can we call it overrated? Or underrated. Or rated. Over hyped, yeah. But, hard to say something I haven't played yet is "overrated".

I expected this but at the same time the review seems like click bait to me, I'll wait until more of the same come flooding in before I lose all hope.

Is anyone watching the video? He spends the whole time talking about daylight graphics and trying to blow up a gas station which is clearly already destroyed. This can't be a legit review.
The "lose your online stats if you turn off multiplayer" also makes it sound like the beta because that would be a huge oversight in the final game.

It's been generally accepted that the 100 point grading scale of school is how people think of the 10 point scale of video game reviews (school percentage grades divided by 10). 90+ = A, 80-89=B, 70-79=C or average effort, 60-69=D, 59 and below = F.
If you're ok with paying $60 plus DLC for C games, it's fine. Others wait until C scored games get discounted or simply avoid it. And that's fine too. Some people have limited gaming time and only want to fill their limited gaming time with games that are A or B quality.
Sometimes it's also best to wait for user reviews in the OP of the game on this forum or other places and not simply rely on industry reviews to form your opinion.

I'll wait for more reviews before I start getting too concerned, but a 7/10 is still okay in my book.

I see people are paying more attention to the score than the content of the review again. "Single player shines". "Beautiful single player". But lets just ignore that and call the game shit because it got a 7. Sigh.
With that said the online stat resetting thing sounds really shitty. Maybe it's something that will get patched?

If true, it's absolutely appalling. Just grotesque.
7 is bad?

maybe we should wait for the actual release and more reviews before jumping to conclusions
What I get from it is: the sp story is fair, plays average and looks like shit.
Mp sucks.
I guess you've missed how gaming outlets typically score games for the past twenty years. In other words, yes, it generally is.

What in the actual fuck? Even Demon's/Dark souls doesn't punish you for not playing online.
AC is a very well known franchise. This is a new IP, completely different, there's no guarantee that this will meet their expectations.
Is there more to the text part of the review? There's like nothing in there that explains the good or bad aspects of the single player. I know a lot of reviewers have this habit where you open with basically preview coverage, "you play as this man. This is the plot, and these are the things you can do" before throwing a small opinion in at the end. Single player "shines" - why. Tell me more.

I am not defending the game, but I would wait for larger gaming sites to submit their reviews.
On the scale everyone except EDGE uses, yup.
I have no idea what that online thing is about but it sounds sucky. This game has been a tragic disappointment since it got announced. Should've been cancelled and rebooted a long time ago.
