Stupid poll options because of stupid people like this:
70-79 "pretty bad" smh
Oh are we still pretending 70-79 is a good score in gaming? Because it really is not. It usually means the game is not particularly good or has a significant amount of bugs in it. If it's both it will most likely go lower.
And yeah, I wish it was the way it works on IMDb. Anything above 7 is actually pretty good instead of being mediocre or bad.
All my posts so far have been about how absurd it is that anything under 80 is considered bad
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying it's fucked up that you're not wrong
Edit: That said, a ton of really great games get scores of under 80/100, but that's further proof score aggregate sites are bullshit and we'd be better off without them
Yeah, that's what I tried to evoke. Reviews became kind of a meme to me during this gen.
Damn, dude. That's rough lol
Better than Days Gone?
I expected a lower score no joke
Not taking them serious anymore after the 5 Days Gone received. That also goes for IGN.

So its Rage 1... I'll wait for a sale
VG24/7: Avalanche's best game is also one of the best-feeling shooters ever (no score)

Oh shit, spoke too soon.
I think it'll end up high 70s, maybe around 80
I don't expect this to be some mind blowing game that critics will praise. I bet it's just a lot of fun

bethesda is being shitty about giving out review codes again https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-05-13-rage-2-review
Review code arrived today, 10 hours ahead of embargo.
Hence, we have published a review in progress.

GS gave Days Gone lower and all I've heard is good things about it from people who have played the game... ya this game is gonna be critically panned but loved by the players who play it.
Sadly because the marketing for this has been little (besides their consistent Twitter Ads), and isn't a Sony developed game, the sale numbers will be minimal. Sucks too, Bethesda as a publisher has been so very consistent with their singleplayer experiences this generation.

A 70-79 is definitely "good" just not "very good" or "outstanding". And the meta score doesn't tell the whole story - it could be made up from lots of 70-something reviews, or a wide ranging mix of reviews from bad to outstanding in the case of very divisive games. Some of my favourite games this gen have been 70-something like QUBE2 and Turing Test.
The marketing has been little? What? They bombarded us with trailers the last couple of months.
I was too optimistic with my prediction. I have to keep in mind that critics are so much harsher now reviewing open world games.
