That's a pretty perfect score for a game you say is not perfect...

Defining 10/10 to mean the game is perfect would entail that no game could possibly get a 10/10.  Which could mean that the highest score possible would be a 9/10 or a 9.9/10; which seems obnoxious to be honest.

Everyone is bias.  

Well he gave it a 10/10 in all five categories though. That seems to me like a guy that thinks this game is perfect.

Yes indeed. Some are perfectly capable of being objective as well.

The fact that the review acknowledges the game is not perfect and yet it gets perfect 10/10 scores across the board.



I really loved this one. Just got the Platinum trophy for it.

I would be way more concerned if a reviewer was unable to find a single fault in a game they were playing. From what I can tell, a game gets a 10 from most reviewers when they can't find any faults that they find meaningful.

I don't get why some have an issue with this particular review. Have you never read a 10/10 review before?



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I'm not sure. Maybe years ago?



Good idea to lower the other sounds to put the music a bit more to the foreground. That has been my only issue with the game so far, music is too much in the background.

The sound hasn't really impressed me so far. Surround sound has been pretty low key despite the very detailed setup options. I'm only at the start of chapter 6 though. Not in my top 10 best sounding games yet.



Im leaning towards a 9

A 10 doesn't have to mean something is perfect. In-fact, unless the numbers on your scale are intended more as labels than to represent a linear/curved numerical scale (which is a perfectly valid system, but clearly not the one Aldro is using), i think it's pretty illogical to define a 10 that way. There is likely no such thing as a perfect game, thus 10 would become undefinable. Without being able to define both ends of your scale, everything in-between becomes meaningless. You'd basically be saying "I give this game [x] out of perfect", or "this game is [x]% perfect". It doesn't make much sense when you have no idea what perfect means. You might as well give something 6 out of apple, or 9 out of paper bag.

I wouldn't personally give UC4 a 10 (As of chapter 15 i'd give it a 9.0, but if it maintains its current quality through to the end, and wraps up the story nicely, i could see myself giving it a 9.5), but a 10 is what Aldro thinks it deserves, then that's what Aldro should give it.
