| Kantor said: I don't really understand all of this. Yes, it's an excellent game. I do think it's the PS3's best exclusive and the best game that Naughty Dog have ever made. But it's not the be-all and end-all of gaming like all these 10/10s suggest. There are long segments where nothing really happens. The stealth tools are decidedly lacking. The friendly AI is often a bit of a mess: Ellie runs around in front of clickers and Joel gets stuck behind her when trying to take cover. Nothing it does is really groundbreaking at all. And yet all of these flaws are ignored in 40 perfect-scored reviews |
Most sites do not consider 10 flawless though, only that the flaws do not affect the experince in a meaningful way.
my honest opinion, you are being picky, " all of these " is an overstatement as the friendly AI does not expose you in front of enemies. Many games got away with 10s that had major flaws, mostly technical one, others with design flaws. one of your favorite games comes to mind :)
