I think weak should top out at 60
I'm not a fan of the idea of sticking the bottom 70% of games under one heading.
Not at all. Terrible idea.
If anything, I'd say it's fairly indicative of the games critic industry to generally not score anything under a 5, near as I can tell. If you consider that, I think it's probably a pretty fair assessment to say that the bottom 20% of games aren't "good." That is, if you take 50 as a baseline, rather than 1 or 0. It's technically possible to get those scores, but the only one I've seen in recent memory was for that awful new Langrisser game: https://www.destructoid.com/review-langrisser-re-incarnation-tensei-361889.phtmlI'm not a fan of the idea of sticking the bottom 70% of games under one heading.

I don't like score summary at allI'm not a fan of the idea of sticking the bottom 70% of games under one heading.

Is the goal to move to a binary system? Seems like a better approach for games, since there isn't really a Rotten Tomatoes for games, if that's the goal, rather than "Strength of game X" - which seems kind of like what MetaCritic already does. Not sure how to tackle the whole "certified fresh" thing on Rotten Tomatoes though (to which I'm unsure of its meaning aside from it being better somehow than regular fresh).We've been trending more and more towards Rotten Tomatoes if this update doesn't give that away, heh. For a long time, we debated switching over to the "% recommended" as the main score, though we'd need to make some enhancements before doing that (ex: letting publications/critics set their own benchmarks for what is or isn't "recommended" instead of an "8-or-higher" approach).

Why I actually came to post:
The E3 press conferences made me realize that there's not really a great visualization out there for major game releases or events. So I made a calendar.
I would suggest Brash Games, but anyone doing that would probably skip on using OpenCritic anyway.Being able to exclude certain sites is a really cool idea.
Sorry for inconveniencing you. You'll notice I didn't bump it again to give you a reply. Have a nice day.Necrobumping this thread for some dumb joke is very nice of you.
Christ you really got an axe to grind huh
Great calendar!Sortof.
