In an ideal rating system (one that hasn't been inflated over years of paid scores) what would be a an ideal example of a 5/10 game?
In another words, what is the most average game ever made? One that is decent enough that you might play through it once, but would never talk about it or recommended it to anyone.
Lords of the Fallen.

An ideal rating system is to judge by yourself.
Call of Duty.

The division
But in all honesty, vidya is a highly subjective experience. Except for a few outliers (1/10 broken games and 10/10 perfections) ratings don't mean shit.
Mass Effect 1
Max Payne 3
Call of Juarez Bound in Blood
Saints Row Gat out of Hell
I should have more but I lost my old games.xls ten years ago when my pc go fucked
That game you really like
bulletstorm was pretty much the definition of "meh"
M.A.R.S War Logs?
>>330642409
5/10 isn't average, unless you count 0/10 as a score.
>>330643061
By most standards it was made well and had a unique concept.
The fact you didn't care for it, it was short and that the story was dumb are valid, and you can think it's "meh", but that's not what a 5/10 is.
The same applies to 90% of everything in this thread. Most of these are decent games with issues but some things to love too.

Scores are subjective
I really like bulletstorm but I can easily see why people would call it a 5/10 or even worse

nipple alert!
i remember feeling that AC2 was perfectly mediocre when it came out.
>>330642409
Most jrpgs with interesting combat. Like every tales game. You play it once, have fun, forget it in 20 minutes.
>>330643640
10 Masterpiece
9 Amazing
8 Great
7 Good
6 Ok
5 Meh
4 Bad
3 Very Bad
2 Shit
1 Disgusting
>>330643640
average would be 5.5 on that scale. 5 is on the slightly lower end.
>>330642409
>>330643640
The Dragon Quest games seem like they are carefully crafted to be as mediocre and forgettable as possible.
>>330643640
Let's not forget a 0/10 for nonfunctional (Big Rigs, Simcity, etc)
>>330643883
Fine
Here's my 5.5 in the last 10 or so years
CoD Ghosts
Darksiders 2
To the Moon

the setting of prototype is unique and i wouldn't call it a 5/10 game, even if the gameplay was.
more like 6/10
>>330645086
nah, that's more like a 2/10
>>330642539
if you think that vanilla soc is a 5/10 game you have to be somehow mentally handicapped
It'd be Titan Quest for me. Blandest game I've ever played.

Alien Isolation
A great looking concept with god fucking awful writing, too long padded and boring campaing, brain dead non existent enemy ai, alien attached to you by a rope, useless gimmick gadgets, overpowered flamethrower that insta defeats the alien, the list goes on
in perfect world 5/10 would mean average, so game like this would fit exactly there
>>330645253
try grim dawn, its even worse
what a mine of wasted potential and idiotic ideas

Fallout 4
Unless a game is broken and unplayable the rating is completely subjective to each person so there is no good system
Uncharted 1, Spec Ops: The Line, Valiant Hearts
Mad Max
Last of Us
Life is strange
>>330642409
BioShock Infinite comes to mind. No replay ability whatsoever. At least the original two managed to keep me enthralled in the story enough to collect all the audiologs and whatnot.
