Ok I just don't understand game ratings then. How are such terrible games getting near 50%? To me 5/10 is average. It seems in gaming 7/10 is considered average and I don't understand that. Some of these games should be 2/10.

[@numuhukumakiakiaialunamor5174]

Yeah, I also noticed that. It seems to me that game reviewers simply don't understand how ratings should work (hardly surprising, since most of them are idiots). If you ask me, only the very best games should get more than 90%, just getting that high should be a notable achievement. But in reality, every reasonably good game appears to get 9/10

[@UrpleSquirrel]

When it comes to game reviews, it seems like half the score goes to the technicals - as long as it's not so buggy as to be unplayable, it's likely to get a 5/10. If it's boring or has a bad story, looks ugly, terrible voice acting, etc., that accounts for the other half of the score.

[@richardarriaga6271]

They said reviews for AAA studios had to be 6/10 minimum.

[@CheshiraXGrin]

If you want one person who's heard of Secret Service, I have. Caveat: I've only heard of it because of that sarcastic achievement video y'all did, meaning Andy may still have faked it. The worst game I own (that I paid money for/had gifted to me, because I have a habit of grabbing games when they're free no matter what it is) is probably some PSP game, buried in the bottom of a nightstand drawer back at my parent's house. Aside from that I made the terrible decision maybe two years ago to buy AC Unity because I found it for $15 and I regret spending that $15 on it because I discovered that without Initiates existing anymore, there are certain things that are broken and will outright crash the game. Granted, you can avoid these things easily, but I am an idiot and after Origins the controls for the older AC games are just frustrating to me.
