I agree fully but reviews are very helpful though. If a game gets 3/10's across the board that's a good sign its awful.
I really wish there wasn't so much pressure on getting 9.5's and anything under a 9 being considered shitty. The rating system is super fucking flawed. They really need to change the ranking system so they can more fairly judge games. If I was a reviewer I would have it so anything under a 3 is unplayable, 3-5 is bad but might work for some people, 5-6 is a game with some issues but still can be fun, 6-7 is a decent game, 7-8 is a good game with only a couple flaws, 8-8.5 is a great game with very few (if any) flaws, 8.5-9 is a fantastic game with maybe 1 or 2 problems tops, and over a 9 is a flawless or near flawless game.
Sorry about that big wall of text, i'm kinda drunk right now and not at my full posting potential.

Actually that was basically what the 10 point scale originally meant.

I wonder how that changed so much over the years then. Right now it seems like the rating system they use is:
under 7 = unplayable, 7-8 is bad but playable, 8-9 is okay and 9 or higher is playable
