Hey guys, welcome to 4 Player Podcasts Weekly Top 5 Video Game Podcasts.

This week on the show, we're doing our top 5 below average games.

Based on the reviews.

Wait, wait, below average based...

Wait, who is determining what's...

Game rank.

Below average, meaning, in quotes, according to game rankings or other review aggregates. Everybody has average meaning... I like that word. Did everybody write down the percentages? Yes, I did. Fantastic. I could double check them on the fly. Burt. Below 75. I got some of them. We officially went below 75 or I thought we were...

I said you can fudge it to 76. Oh, did you? I didn't hear that. Okay, so I had a couple at 78, but I can call it. Okay, so before we get started, I would like to preface this by saying that this top five was inspired by near. Because I recently played through that game. Neer! Near! I recently played through that game and I enjoyed it quite a bit,

yet the Metacritic game rankings average hasn't been too high.

So I just came up with this idea for us to talk about some of our favorite games

that aren't as well received in terms of the larger game reviewing public populace whatnot?

Or our co-workers here at 4.5.

And people started to get into it.

Well, you know, who cares about other people in the reviews?

Oh, what does that even mean?

A 75 minutes or no, it means different things.

The point of the top five isn't to get into that shit,

but basically just to give us an excuse to talk about some of the games that we never get to talk about. This way I can't talk about Fonabashi tactics in Casabana for yet another show, etc., etc. Why do you mention that? Because Svali Taptics is on my list. So we're talking about specifically games that we really, really, really like.

So you're saying the best of the best?

Well, no, just the best of the worst.

Or games that we liked to be even though they were mediocre.

How about this?
