People basing a potential purchase on these reviews need to stop worrying about numbers, and start paying attention to the words in those reviews.

They then proceeded to complain about things that didn't seem much like negatives at all, and gave it an 8/10. It's a pretty bullshit score, and I can't say I understood where the reviewer was coming from.

"Bioshock Infinite is a fantastic game"

They then said that only "compared to the original" does it seem not as unique of a game and gave it an 8/10.  The review perhaps failed to realize that it's fucking CALLED BIOSHOCK.  It's not a new damned IP, and expands on the original idias of its predecessor, like follow-ups are supposed to.  Again, bullshit.

 

The numbers mean nothing. 80, 95, 100... none of it matters. Take your time and read.

Agreed. But too many people just look at that last score and judge the game on that.
