I just noticed something: Maximum PC gave Half Life 2 an 11/10...looks like reviewers were corrupt a much longer time ago than I thought.

The thing of it is, it's not corrupt. I think when you grade something of this magnitude, you're stating that the game THOROUGHLY entertained and impressed you.It's only corrupt if you did this while...

A. Having actually not played the game

B. Judged it biasedly (good or bad)

C. Were payed to say it.

Since we have no proof of any of that, we can't call it corrupt, but that we don't agree with it.

I still think people are taking this way too seriously but I guess that's just me. This is also ONE rview, ONE. Every reviewer won't give it this score...

I used the wrong word. I'm just stressing concerns over the fact that we might see a 12/10 review at some point, and then the reviewing system will become absolutely broken afterwards.

 

I always believed that reviewers should ditch the scoring system and just use words to express their thoughts about the game (detailed opinion, then summarize it in a paragraph for people with low attention spans). Not to mention also scores are fuel to the fanboy flames.

I'm not trying to be a prick about this, but I do feel people let this stuff consume them way too much...

Fair enough. Guess I should let it go. What was bothering me was the fact that 360 fanboys are using it as an excuse to kill off the reviewers credibility. But now that I think of it, not even a 10/10 would please them.

As I've learned the hard way, everyone can't always be pleased.

you know what's awesome?  If Uncharted2 went multiplat tomorrow, it would suddenly completely lose relevance.

That's the beauty of exclusives: They're one of the factors that define a console.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!
