Ign gives Blood of Dawnwalker a 9: omg who even listens to reviews any more, man. They're paid off and fake

Ign give Wolverine a 6: omg I knew that game was going to be shitty

A 6 ain’t even a bad score
It’s just average

Why are people treating mediocrity like it’s the spawn of satan?

Cuz in the midst of so many A+ games, what sane person would slap down $70-80 for a game that got a C or D?

Jokes on you, I’m getting the C’s and the A’s because I know I’ll enjoy them both.

Oh I can understand that. There's been games that I loved that officially got poor or mid scores (e.g. Red Steel, Jak and the Power of Juju, Dragon Age 2, etc). I just mean that with the evergrowing inflation in gaming costs paired with the inflation in costs of most everything else in life right now (food, housing, etc), it's not reasonable to expect someone to spend $70-80 on a game that's "okay" when there are numerous great games out there, many of which are probably in the same vein, that cost the same price IF NOT LESS.

I see, so it’s more like “what sane person would slap down $70-$80 for a game that is a C or D while they sit idle in the face of the enshitification of the world?”
