Why do people seem to be so opposed to games getting a 10/10? Sure, none of the games listed are perfect, but they're all so far ahead of their competition in recent years (with the exception of maybe Witcher 3 or Bloodborne or to an even lesser extent BioShock Infinite or Bayonetta 2), that it's a way to distinguish them from their peers.
I haven't finished playing MGS V. I know people have taken to complaining about it, but the gameplay is absolutely fantastic and intricate.
I think GTA gets 10/10s by default, just because it's GTA. It's fine, since everyone loves GTA, and the games are so intricate and alive that they deserve their scores. On the other hand, the last GTA that really massively shifted the paradigm was San Andreas all those years back, and you could argue that each GTA since has just been iterative.
I don't know if I can really judge TLOU objectively, since I have such a strong attachment to it. But I think it had the same effect on video games that the original Half-Life did -- it showed that you could have both really strong gameplay and a really strong story.
So yeah, I have no problem with great games getting 10/10s. They get 10/10s because they're good and you should buy and play them. But if I had to choose one, obviously I would choose The Last of Us.
