There ARE better games out there than OOT, but the advantage is that OOT had 23-ish reviews that were glaringly positive. Bioshock already has double that, and climbing. The more reviews are out, the lower the mean score will be. Look at Gears of War: At one time, it was well above Oblivion in average scoring (around 94.5%), but is far lower.
IMO, I don't think, even if they are great, most any other game this year, save possibly SMG, will remotely get into the top-10. Look at Zelda:TP. If it can't do it, I don't hold out alot of hope for others.
Why? Your always going to get your stupid scores to ruin the averages. Twilight Princess got an insane 8.8 - that totally ruined the score. All it takes is a bad impression from 2-3 reviewers to ruin an uber-score. Which is what's happening to Bioshock. The fact that Bioshock is near 50 reviews, and STILL on the top 10 is a marvel. |
I agree completely. Also I agree with Claudelv150 there and sqrl except for the completely insane part about Zelda:OoT doesn't deserve to be #1. |
I agree with both of you. Also, with this 9, I think Bioshock may drop out of top 10. It got an 8 from Edge which has yet to be applied... if both are applied to the current score I think that may be enough to knock it below 95.6%
Edit: It really pisses me off that Halo (a mediocre shooter to anyone who has ever played a PC shooter) stays in the top 10 while something groundbreaking like Bioshock gets knocked out.
