They still do. And back then, they still made a mix of amazing 10/10 games and decidedly "meh" ones for me. I loved Chrono Trigger. I felt Chrono Cross was decidedly mediocre. Expecting "solid" games is what mature, reasonable, rational people do, and then we get pleasantly surprised when a game goes beyond "solid" and becomes a "masterpiece." But expecting nothing but masterpieces is an immature take that only sets one up for disappointment.
