Giving 10/10 reviews to a game to offset haters giving 0/10 is just stooping down to their level, in my opinion.
The best course of action is writing an honest and complete review when you've had time to play through the game. Anyone who spent some time on Metacritic or Amazon knows one line reviews are worthless and that all exclusive are bound to be plagued by those extreme reviews (both positive and negative). The average user scores on these sites are useless but there are still good, honest and thorough reviews to be found and those are the ones people consider when making a purchase.

Except the game does deserve a 10/10. 9/10 would be a minimum and by offsetting the 0/10's, it averages at about 9/10 with 1:10 ratio of positive vs queationable hater ratings. In the end it offsets and creates a fairer rating, don't you think?

My view on it is that since most people know the Metacritic user average is a joke, making a perfect review just to correct it serves no purpose while making a comprehensive review does have a purpose.
