=goty so far for them. and since their marking criteria is harsh, and they go in increments of 5 then i would assume it will remain that way
Bet With routsounmanman: By the end of Q1 2008 Capcom WONT have announced a RE5 Wii Edition OR a new RE (classic gameplay) for the Wii (WON)
Sweet. And here I was thinking that they might pull another R&C or Metroid Prime 3.
The only thing I can really fault Gamespot for is docking the game a bit for its minimal story. I mean, what the christ? When has a Mario game ever had a story? Does the reviewer want Mario to become like Sonic? =P

I think they docked it for having TOO much story :-p
"..just keep on trying 'till you run out of cake"
Story is also a factor when you review games. Just because a game isn't known for having great stories does not mean that they get special permission to avoid that. It's like not caring about how bad a game looks when the series is known for having bad graphics. (Fire Emblem).

The Sims
Sim City
Spore
Tetris
Bejeweled
Mecrury Meltdown Revolution
Carnival Games
TF2
Halo series (just kidding)
and I'm sure many others. Don't get me wrong, I love story (FFVI being my favorite and Tetris being second-- only fun because I get to mention them in the same post^^) and is important for the most part but some games shouldn't be docked because lack of story. Should we dock Portal because there's no backstory? The game has more personality than most games today but the story? You wake up in an abandoned science area that was cleaned out by an out of control robot? BORING. I'm sorry Portal, but there's some points docked.
If the story is only there as a motivation to get the player started there's really no point in factoring it into the score. People who care about story aren't playing that game for the story (if they're even playing it) and anyone else playing it isn't going to be put off by I'm sorry, your princess is in another galaxy.

That's the thing. A game like SMG shouldn't be rated on the strength of its story, but instead on whether the story would add anything to the game. That's why I mentioned Sonic: people often complain that they would rather just play through some levels to beat Dr. Robotnik or whoever, and not have to sit through cutscenes and horrible video-gamey voice acting. Why would a Mario platformer benefit from a strong story any more than a Sonic platformer would?
