How can a site nitpick a game this good down to an 8/10 while glossing over the hundreds, maybe thousands of flaws present in a game like Skyrim? It's fine being extremely critical if they at least show a bit of consistency.

Because games don't start out with a score of 10 and then get deductions.  They start out at 0 and earn their way up to a 10 or whatever.  Gamestop just didn't think the last of us was worth more than 8.  And I can tell you first hand that if you were not a huge fan of the genre or the story, you could very easily give this game an 8 or less.  How many times can one do the same ladder/plank/raft puzzle before he goes insane?  :P


That doesn't really change the fact that Skyrim is a steaming pile of dog mess. As a fan of Morrowind and Oblivion I have to say that any site that gives Skyrim a 9/10 can not really justify handing out an 8/10 to much of anything. I know it's tangental at best but Skyrim is a trainwreck in terms of graphics, physics, characterization and plot. There are also tons of other issues but this is neither the time nor place. Again, some consistency from the site would be appreciated.
