And what "shit" did I talk? I explained in three paragraphs that in my opinion a 6 is an above average score. If Gravity Rush is good then getting anything above a 5 is good. I haven't played the game but I don't see how a 6.5 is a bad score. How good it is, is subjective. You think it's the best and someone else might think it's decent. The problem is too many gamers think anything below an 8 is a bad score. But in reality a review isn't negative until it dips below 5. I suggest that a 6 is a legitmently positive score and you think I'm bashing the game? This isn't grade school and it's not a A-F system, it's a 10 point system.


You can give the game a 3 for all I care. You haven't played the game and somehow you know what score it would get. That is the part I am complaining about. I'd say the same thing if you're giving a score of 1 or 10.


I didn't score it. All I said was I don't think it's a bad score. Everything I was stated were examples of why I believe a 6 or a 6.5 is an above average score. The closes I got to scoring the game was  saying I doubted it was as good as Portal 2. But I didn't score it. You've latched on to one small example and completely missed the entire point of what I was saying. That's why I went on to further explain it with the following example of a proper 10 point rating system.

"Below is an example of how to break down the meaning behind a 10 point rating system.

The game "X Racing" is a racing game for all platforms.

Possible review scores for "X Racing":

10/10: Get this game even if you don't like racing games. It's one of the best games of the year, not just in the racing genre.

9/10: If you've ever enjoyed a racing game you'll like this.

8/10: A great racer, racing fans of most kinds will have fun.

7/10: Fun racer with a few flaws. If you're not a racing fan this won't change your mind.

6/10: An above average racing game with some flaws worth checking out.

5/10: Moderate to hardcore racing fans will find enjoyment, casual racing fans may want to rent first.

4/10: Only the most hardcore racing fans will want to try it, casual racing fans shouldn't bother.

3/10: Lots of flaws, don't bother unless you're really dying for another racing game.

2/10: So flawed that even the most hardcore racing fan won't be able to find any enjoyment.

1/10: Unplayable garbage.

When you look at the full spectrum of a 10 point system it's clear to me that a 6.5/10 is not a bad score."


I really don't understand why you are upset about an example I gave of a perfect 10 or stating my opinion that a 6.5 is not a bad score.
