The thing you need to look at is how it scored relative to other games that are known to be good or great. Just from that short list I see it falls between and within a few points of AC3 and Dishonored.

How is that not good?

at 87%... just average really. I personally don't even consider games scored less 90%, I just don't have the time to play all the average games. The gameranking score is really disappointing for a game of this caliber.

If you really let those scores decide if a game is good or not. Then CoD is the best game ever, it has no flaws, and it not repetitive and GTA IV works flawlessly. Scores mean nothing. The game is brilliant. In fact, I am having the most fun I have had in years. Yes the fps is capped at 30, and I know the consoles are not the greatest things. But MAN I am having so much fun with this game.

EDIT: One of the reviews that gave it a 70/100 said the game needed aiming down sights, and bigger maps. That's just retarded. Halo was never about that. It's about small arena maps, where everyone starts on about the same level, and your pure skill puts you on top.

I will be picking my copy later today. But it's a shame that they don't allow it for the PC. The way it looks at 60 FPS. Just imagin it at over 100 with any nvidia or AMD card.

Sorry bro, we live in a real world where performance must be quantified. Scores are not absolutely accurate, it's not scientific, but they do correlate how good the games is. If numbers means nothing, then can you tell me why Goldman Sachs reject people who doesn't have a 3.8 GPA?

So to sum up: You never considered it, let alone tried it because it's got a score of <90%? And that constitues a fact that the game isn't that good?

I'm sure you'll understand why I'm having a hard time taking this seriously. No offense intended.

No, just no. Game reviews are subjective. GPA less so. Not to mention that comparing a review score to GPA is just wrong.
