I'll give some input. Let's analyze the Bayo v. GOW III situation.

For a game to receive a perfect ten, it needs to be...well, perfect. Great gameplay, great story (if it has one), great atmosphere, great graphics and sound, everything. Seeing as Bayonetta had an absolutely terrible and frankly annoying story/acting, this should set it back. It also had fretfully long load times (I've seen complaints for both versions).

Then we have God of War 3, a game with unparalleled graphical fidelity, tremendous sound, epic storytelling (however basic), intense atmosphere, over-the-top-action and gameplay that has set standards for its genre.

This is the real reason people are pissed over the scoring. If they graded both games at the same level, people wouldn't complain quite as much, but giving Bayonetta (a game which is inferior based solely on what we have seen so far) a higher score is a foolish decision.

That's odd, I didn't realize you could play the game already to formulate all those conclusions....

Based on past installments and the concensus that the third game plays more or less the same as the first two, I can assume that the gameplay will be outstanding. We already know the graphics are amazing. If the story continues in the way that it has been throughout the series it will be very interesting at the very least. I don't have to play the game to know these things.

Gameplay that hasn't changed sounds like a negative.  Even if it is amazing, too much of the same will get old after a while.
