66/100 is "generally favorable"?[edit]

Since when? JointCompound (talk) 03:21, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since always. You could click the link to MetaCritic, where it shows the metascore and describes it as "Generally favorable reviews", exactly as quoted in this article (and hundreds of other Wikipedia articles). Or you could read about how MetaCritic works on their site. Or I'm sure somewhere in Wikipedia's pages on how to use review sites, there's some Wikipedia-specific information as well.

But the key thing to remember is that MetaCritic is not designed around the Uber rating system, where anything from perfect down to marginally acceptable is 5 stars, and only the truly terrible get below a perfect score. When critics rate something above average, that means that it's above average, not that it's a travesty. And if the averaged opinion of a bunch of reviewers is that something is above average, that's generally favorable. --157.131.223.94 (talk) 23:12, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure—that's 2/3 of critics, remember, who tend to be more critical than general audiences. That's because they're critics. The difference can be critical. Okay, I'll stop bothering you now, but still. – AndyFielding (talk) 06:22, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
