There new system is stupid. Do you agree? This is my arguement.

I know IGN can't predict the future, but they can't give every jaw dropping game they see a 10. They have to restrain themselves more. They didn't do this last gen, or any gen before, and there were plenty of near perfect titles back then too.

For length, UC2 took me 10.5 hours because I explored a bit. UC1 took like 6.5 hours or so, and those are about the times GT took. If they say it's shorter then UC2, I see no reason why we can't assume it isn't. If the same person took 10 hours to beat UC2 and took 8 to beat UC3, then maybe you will beat UC3 in 7 hours? I dunno.

8 hours is still good, and it's quality not quantitiy.

Don't hate me for saying this, but I'd rather have them fix the bugs in platforming, then make the game longer. Uncarted 2 wasn't as bad, but this one scene where you have to climb a pole and jump to a roof, UC2 would just not allow Drake to look at the other roof. Took me 10 minutes to get past that stupid glitch, and it happened more then once. However to be fair Naughty Dog does tackle more in gameplay then anyone else, and I really hope UC3 improves the climbing system by as much or more as they did from UC1 to UC2.

I quite like their new system, now gamers won't argue when an exclusive game gets a .1 lower than another exclusive game on another console. It also eliminates the whining that happens when they rate one version of a multiplayer game .1 or .2 lower than the other.

At bolded: Well, that's where you're mistaken.

Games from last gen that would have a 10/10 with the new system:

Gran Turismo 3 - http://ps2.ign.com/articles/163/163846p1.html
Metroid Prime 3 - http://cube.ign.com/articles/376/376866p1.html
GTA:SA - http://ps2.ign.com/articles/559/559560p1.html
RE:4 - http://cube.ign.com/articles/577/577841p1.html
God of War - http://ps2.ign.com/articles/596/596778p1.html
Jade Empire - http://xbox.ign.com/articles/602/602787p1.html
Halo 2 - http://xbox.ign.com/articles/557/557509p1.html
MGS3: Subsistence - http://ps2.ign.com/articles/694/694781p1.html
And more that I didn't bother listing

NONE of those are 10/10. Do you not understand my point? There is a difference between 9.8/10 and 10/10. IGN never gave 10/10 out soo easily.I'm not objective of a 9.5/10 or 9.8/10 score, just 10/10 should not be given out so easily. It should be a more reserved score.

Examples from other gens: GT2, MGS, Super Mario 64, Perfect Dark, Dragon Warrior III, Conker's Bad Fur Day etc. etc. You get the point

Maybe they should just included grading to the .1 above 9/10 because that this point any little flaw in the game is critical to it's score.
