Since when is a roughly 6/10 average scathing? Do you think a 2 1/2 star out of 5 movie review is scathing? I don't really know anything about this game so I'm not defending it. I just find it kind of

ed up that games are basically viewed on a 5 - 10 scale where anything 6 or below is "scathing". Some sites grade on a four score system (X/4 stars) and metacritic aggregates those same sites with ones that grade on a 100 point system. That can create some really shitty looking averages pretty fast if the wrong site doesn't dig your game.
Movies are viewed as 50+ being good with 20 or below being garbage. Why can't we all train ourselves to view games on a similar scale? It's pretty unfair especially when some publishers tie bonuses to metacritic scores.
