The game was given 10's becasue the rating system is broken they rate shitty games to high so when a game like GTa comes out and blows the others away they have no choice but to give it 10/10. SMG has been given 42 perfect scores last time i checked gamerankings which is alot more then GTA4 has gotten. SMG is an upgraded GC game, and its not very good, maybe a 7 at most.


The green I kind've agree with.

The red I don't agree with at all. :|

 


 Thats fine, i really tried to get into the game, i managed to get 34 stars before i gave up on the game.  I even went back to the game and i could not get into it.  I really like the  2D mario's, i just could not stand SMG.  I just wish they would make another Mario game for the DS, but i bet it won't happen



Seriously leave well enough, your thread title is on point but your post isn't.

The game is whatever, leave it be and let the PS360 guys go bantering about their resolutions
and polygons.

This thread isn't lol hence it has killed a kitty.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

Backlash led by Wii fanboys. The guy has Nintendo in his name and Link as his avatar (toon link at that). I think it's a fair assumption.
I thnk the biggest giveaway was the comparison to Galaxy...that being a Nintendo game last I checked...

He's also apparently ignoring the plethora of other threads about THIS EXACT SAME TOPIC.

There aren't even half as many threead critisizing the game as there was threads praising it. Don't whine because the new trend is one you don't happen to like and ignore one you somewhat enjoy. Creating a new thread because you want to is standard operating procedure around here. It happened with a thousand annoying Galaxy threads, it happened with a thousand annoying Halo 3 threads, and it is not happening with a thousand annoying GTA4 threads.


I was responding to Lord's post criticizing my acceptance of another's opinion that this was just another thread created by a likely Nintendo fanboy. However, if the topic is exactly the same as 5 other threads, there's no need for another. I was equally annoyed by the multiple "PS3 is lower resolution but looks better" threads.

 I'll give it's likely he's a Nintendo fanboy, as I stated, but who is leading this backlash is irrelevant. It was coming anyway, and the Sony and Xbox fanboys will join in once the luster wears off. It's just the nature of whiners.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

If you are only going to complain about the millions repost topics that annoy you then I am going to critisize you for it. There were at least twice as many topics praising GTA4 then there are now critisizing it. If you want to whine that people are blasting something you like then go ahead but I will point out how you are being dumb about it.

Yeah, it definitely doesn't deserve 10s. I mean, it may be great, but 10 is usually reserved for games that just can't get any better when they are released, and will probably still be great for years to come. GTAIV definitely doesn't pass the former, and the latter is debatable, imo.

I think it's still a AAA, though.

Every game has flaws, though. A 10/10 just means the game is that good compared to everything else out.


See this is where my problem is everything I know of that involves judging on a scale of 1 - 10 with decimals requires it to be perfect.

 A gymnast doesn't get a 10 because she was so much better then the others. She gets a 10 because she was perfect.


No, she appeared perfect compared to what everyone else has done. The more accurate comparison is movies, where 4 or 5 stars (whichever is highest on a particular scale) are given all the time. Also, Rotten Tomatoes where a movie is given a good or bad, and when a movie gets 100% good no one says it's perfect, just that it has a perfect rating.


The 4 or 5 stars are numeral only and rotten tomatoes is only a percentage of positive reviews. So if all the reviews thought it was OK it would score 100%

They don't judge relative to the other contestents, maybe relative to humans but if the judge can identify one flaw they do not score a 10. 


Fine, if they can indentify 1 flaw the performance doesn't get a 10. Doesn't mean it was truly perfect. Anyway, the systems are different. I know what rotten tomatoes does, I described it. However, metacritic also has 3 movies 99% and better, with 1 being 100%. The Godfather might be one of the greatest movies ever, but it's not without flaws. When you are judging entertainment, I don't think perfect score has to mean something is flawless. Movies and games are judged similarly. Throw in music, as well.

Deer god, stop giving Sony fanboys like Windbane ammunition with threads like this. Just let the 360 and PS3 fanboys duke it out and watch from afar.

Always appreciate your input. I prefer the PS3, but I'm not a fanboy. Can't wait for your next post.


Yes, as if anyone would admit they're a fanboy. Either way your prominance in this thread is proof enough of what not to encourage whether the word "fanboy" can be applied  or not.

Though you need look no further than your pitiful hair splitting arguments over game reviews to see the merit of such a claim.



This game does deserve 10/10. Not because it is perfect, but because it blows nearly every single other game out of the water. It may have a few flaws, but they are more than made up for by the good points. Everyone agrees that SA was amazing, a 9.5, at least, and this is better in every way.
1. Better graphics
2. Less pop-up
3. Liberty City is amazing
4. MUCH BETTER GAMEPLAY
5. Cell phone

I think those things are enough to get the game 10/10, as all it is lacking from SA is countryside, aircraft, other little side missions like paramedic

Heh. You are as ridiculous as this thread's topic. I'm posting in this thread because I have nothing better to do right now. Same as you, it would seem. Edit: my comments on what I think game reviews should mean sure has a lot more usefullness than your constant need to single me out in threads without adding anything to it. I love you, though.
