>Yelling about a 5.6
Didn't even back this game, but y'all are retarded.
All games start at 5. They are neither good nor bad. Their pros and cons add or subtract points.
Obviously the game's new Dash feature raised the game up fairly high, and the game was cut down by the cons bit by bit.
It is slightly better than average, AKA mediocre. There's nothing wrong with mediocre, it just didn't deliver more than what was averagely expected.
The reason you guys can't bear anything below an 8 is because you were all told that a C or below on your report card was a death sentence. In Europe, getting a 6/10 is a perfectly fine score and many cheer for it.
The point is that 9 is mediocre in IGN scale
I think of it as a report card you would get as a kid. You wouldn't be happy to show your parents a 56%.
>>342098032
>In Europe, getting a 6/10 is a perfectly fine score and many cheer for it
No wonder why are so many retards over there
>>342098032
That would be 7 since scoring goes from 4 to 10.
>Paying money two years in advance for a 5.6 game
You can only blame yourself.
>>342098032
>In Europe, getting a 6/10 is a perfectly fine score
No.
>>342098032
>All games start at 5.
Nigga on ign scale all games start with 8.5
nice damage control op
>>342099439
6.0 is a passing grade mate. Just like a C is in Amerifatland.
>>342098032
a 5 is literally the bottom of the scale.
>>342098032
Yeah, sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
>>342098032
>In Europe, getting a 6/10 is a perfectly fine score and many cheer for it.
that's what your parent told you?

European rating
>10 - perfect
>9 - masterpiece
>8 - great
>7 - good
>6 - above average
>5 - mediocre
>4 - below average
>3 - bad
>2 - very bad
>1 - awful
American rating
>10 - paid
>9 - GOTY
>8 - decent
>7 - bad
>1-6 - shit
You're right anon, there's some true retardation here.
Too bad it's not about Europeans.
>>342098032
Just because you're a retard, don't throw the rest of Europe under the bus to make yourself feel not as worthless.
5/10 is bad on any scale, when you're making entertainment anything less than good means a useless product. 5/10 is like ordering a meal and receiving a tasteless white goo, "It is nutritious and gives you all the functions food needs".
>americans still can't see the difference between school grading and video game grading
complete retardation
>>342099965
But that's barely passing. It means you did poorly.
I can't tell if your are trolling or not. There's a reason calling someone a C-student isn't a compliment.
>>342099439
Except >5 is considered good and <5 is considered bad, the idea that <9 is shit is retarded.
>>342100429
Getting a 6 is not a compliment anywhere dude, we don't treat 6 students like 3 students.
This game just makes me want to play Maverick Hunter X
>Didn't even back this game
Sure, yeah, okay, OP.
>>342100687
>Maverick Hunter X
Gross
>>342100429
>you did poorly
Nope, it means you did it.
Period.
You did it the "average way", the way the majority usually do. Nothing exceptional or out of the ordinary. 6 is just that.
>>342100047
>mediocre
of only ordinary or moderate quality; neither good nor bad; barely adequate:
The car gets only mediocre mileage, but it's fun to drive.
Synonyms: undistinguished, commonplace, pedestrian, everyday; run-of-the-mill.
Antonyms: extraordinary, superior, uncommon
Don't get me wrong, the game is shit
Game Review scores are literally the same thing as Academic grading.
10 - A+ - The game/student 's parents either bribed the teacher or this game is stellar and does everything you'd want it to and surprises you with its goodness.
9 - A - The game is great maybe some small fault but nothing glaring. Student did all its work in a competent fashion.
8 - B - The game is fine and did well. The student missed a few assignments or flunked one test but at the end got his act together.
7 - C - The Game has problems but its alright. The student either was lazy but still got his shit done or the teacher took pity on the idiot.
6 - D - The game is bad but could have been something, has glimmer of hope. The student is a fucking retard.
5 and below - F - Shit game. Should have aborted the kid.

Give me literally one example of one of those 6/10 Above Average reviews.
Excluding X-Play (where 3 stars = 6/10) I can't think of one source where a good game would get such a shit score.
>>342098032
Con-man or one of con-man's backers?
You decide.

Not this one. This one started at 10.
Post other games that started at 10.

You only read American/English critic websites, anon.
It's like saying you're a graphic/design enthusiast that only use MS Paint.

>>342102335
Silly anon, Musou games ARE GARBAGE. Literally the most mindless fucking garbage I've ever played.
>>342099439
The European school system is also less watered down, hence a C, even at a pass is probably the equivalent of an A in the American system.
>>342102332
Not my fault if average American education make you only know a single shitty language
I can speak 4, and I can also use google to find websites that aren't run by 20-something SJW hipsters, unlike you apparently
>>342099439
In the UK, you need 70% to get the highest undergraduate degree 'grade' (a 1:1). The second best needs 60% (2:1)
Anything above 40% is technically a pass, but anything less than 60% is considered dogshit. Still, this is ridiculously low, and if you're good at your STEM subject, you can easily get 80/90%.
This proves OP incorrect.
>>342102637
You might as well cite your left testicle if you're too lazy to provide truth.
At least then I could believe the source actually exists.
>>342102598
Yeah, they are, according to your muhrrican scale.

>>342102637
>He's acting smug and he still reads game reviews
All you have to do nowadays is watch 5 minutes of a game on Youtube and you'll know quickly if the game is actually worth your time.
Game reviews were a necessity 10 years ago when we didn't have Youtube, before that you only had demos and snippets of footage to actually get a feel for the game.
I have not read an actual review in years. Reading a game review is as worthless as reading film reviews or listening to god forbid a music critic.
>>342102747
>too lazy
Are you also too lazy to use google?
Is using Google considered a strenuous activity in freedumb land? We know "walking" is, after all
>5/10 mean average
Wrong.
7/10 is average
>>342102934
It's not, but it is if you genuinely believe literally everybody in the world knows everything you know about videogames. Do you?
>>342102935
It just seems to me that you're either too lazy to prove your argument has water or you know that the "proof" you're talking about doesn't exist.
All in all, I'm not going to go through the legwork when you're the only one crying about it.
>>342102934
yet you still can't help but shitpost in threads about scores and game reviews
how ironic
>getting a 6/10 is a perfectly fine score

>literally failing marks for american higher end education
idk if youre average here prepared to get your mcdegree at everest or something
>>342103161
Yeah laughing at shit games is fun.
Fucking idiots who backed Mighty No 9 supported the same horribly studio that gave us Yaiba Ninja Gaiden. You could smell the shit game from a mile away.
>>342103128
Anon, what do you want me to do? Magically give you 10 years of knowledge about European videogame critics?
Give you links to websites you won't ever be able to read or understand?
Give you reviews that you'll dismiss as "lelshit"?
Let's be honest here.
You can't use google, you can't read any language other than English and you'll always be stuck with an industry of spoiled cringeworthy white knighting hipsters posing as journalists.
There's nothing you can do.
>>342103339
>>342103483
>Anon, what do you want me to do?
Give me at least one link that proves your point, rather than preemptively shitting the bed and claiming that it's a waste of time because, gasp, someone on the internet might disagree with your argument.
I know European universities are trying to be all-inclusive with safe-spaces and Muslim reeducation but in the real world, you can't just call someone wrong and then expect to be taken seriously without prove to support your argument.

Let's post some other mediocre games! Absolutely nothing wrong with this one either! No sir, nothing wrong at all!
>It's ok because it's not shit
Don't be a fucking apologist you faggot. The game and the campaign promised me something better
>>342103082
Ok I'll amend my statement in one respect, Stategy games you actually need to play it or read/hear a nerd thoughts on it.
From a quick Youtube video I can't tell if Hearts of Iron IV is a good game. I'd have to read about it.
But any real action game you can tell so quickly if the game is good. In the same way you can tell if a car is well made just by seeing it perform on a track or view a test drive.
>>342098032
>metascore: for retards by retards
Wish they'd ditch that arbitrary system already, but I guess we're beyond the point of no return.
If by your logic it starts at 5, and does not even have enough "pros" to bump it up to a 6 then it's a shit game.
Something that isn't bad enough to drop to 4 or rise to 6 is absolutely trash.
Deadly Premonition earned the 2.0 IGN gave it long ago and that was interesting and controversial and convinced me to try the game.
I would not, on the other hand, play a game that struggled so much to come out, with so many delays made to tune the game up further, that still turned out like shit in the end.
I bet the backer money all went to Recore instead.
>>342098032
>In Europe, getting a 6/10 is a perfectly fine score and many cheer for it.
No it fucking isn't.
>>342098032
why would some one take his time defending this abomination of a game.
>>342106794
This. For over a year this "game" has been bashed over and over again with threads that hit constant reply limit and Inafune is proven time and time again that he is a con-man and yet people are surprised that it was graded poorly. Also since when did people started taking video game reviews to heart? It's like none of these people existed on /v/ until today.
Mighty Number 9? More like Mighty Number 5.6
>>342101223
If that was the case why the fuck aren't most games rated 5 while others trend away?
>This logic works in a 100% different situation because I said so
So, did the Mighty Number 5.6 jokes start already?
Sad to see this trayn-wreck, really was hoping for a solid game.
>>342098032
>In Europe, getting a 6/10 is a perfectly fine score and many cheer for it.
No it's not, people cheer for it because they barely made it but it's not good by any means, it's ok at the very best. My country's education standards are deplorable and even I can tell you that.
>>342098032
5.6 is utter shit. Unfortunately for you, you think it starts at 5 for some arbitrary reason. It doesn't. It wouldn't be hard for some pros to knock a 5 up to a 6 or even a 7. If it starts at 1 and reaches a 5.6 after balancing both pros and cons, it's a shit game.
>>342107683

You are correct, but anything 6 or below is an abomination by IGN's standards.

Working in companies and seeing even worst train wrecks in management produce decent enough products because the workforce knew its shit?

>>342108653
Let me rephrase my question.
What part of this three-year trainwreck made you think that Conman and his team actually knew their shit?

who fucking cares
are people really this insecure about things they like that they need approval from literal who's on the internet in order to enjoy them?
>>342109109
hello conman
>>342109109
Like it or hate it, a game lives or dies by its score on review sites.
Mighty Number 5.6 receiving a shitty score, in addition to the fact that the game itself sucks dick, means that the game is basically DOA in terms of the general audience.
>>342098032
>settling with mediocre
Eurocuck
>>342109075
Never trusted Inafune, that's why I didn't back.
But some of the people attached to the project? They certainly have the pedigree to release something at least decent.
Granted, I haven't been following in details, so there's probably things that to you are aware of which are perfect signs of an upcoming fuck up I myself know nothing about.
>>342104250
Use google.

>>342111945
If you get 50 here you're getting around 20 more than the best possible score
>>342111897
Because in a fraction of the time, you could've gone on Google and found/posted a link in support of your argument and been done with it.
Then again, I guess they don't teach you how to argue or handle criticism since it'd interfere with the "everyone is right" safe space bullshit your education system revels in.
At least inafune outed himself as a sham and can't trick the megaman fans anymore
>>342111945
You must be pretty fucking stupid to get all 50's on your courses mate.
Even if it wasn't failing, it'd still be "barely passable."
>>342112247

The scale for video game ratings has always been fucked and different from other media.
5-6 generally means 'eh, it's playable, but maybe play something else'.
Scores below 5 are generally reserved for not only mediocre games, but products that are near unplayable due to bugs or offensively bad.

You can learn two or three other languages like I (and many Europeans) already did, or you can just sit there screaming you're right because you don't believe anything you can't read can contradict you.
Doesn't change the fact European critics use the usual 1-10 European scale instead of the ridiculous system American critic use.
Now I'm actually curious, why are you defending american videogame critics this much? It's pretty much a known fact that english speaking vidya journalists are a whining unfunny joke at best.

Holy shit this explains everything.
Amerifats are applying their retarded school grade system to games.
that's why your votes and reviews are so fucked up.
6.0 is literally "sufficient", if you get 6 you passed the test. You're failing it if you get 5, because school requires you to do more than half the test right.
Fuck, this is why you usually give that fucking high scores. Not only your journos are incompetent glorified bloggers, you also use a 5-10 scale.
It's all clear now
