The pinnacle of sandbox gaming? By that logic neither version should have gotten a 10, as R* could've gotten rid of the framerate dips and other problems in both versions given enough time. A "10" doesn't necessarily equate to "couldn't be better." Into today's world of 7-10 reviewing, a 10 simply means "really damn good," especially so in IGN's case. And I don't really see how 30fps (which isn't really that bad) could be considered much worse than more frequent frame dips and texture pop, ala GTA. Also, Call of Duty 4 received identical scores on both platforms from IGN, so I'm not sure why Sony fanboys would've freaked over that. :P Anywho, my point was that both sides are guilty of making a big deal out of stuff like this, and then damage controlling like crazy when it happens to the other side (like what you're doing right now :P). |
I apologise for CoD4, clearly a bad example.
You misunderstood what I was saying with the first bolded part. Review scores arn't relative to what could be done in the future, but to the best competition that exists at the time of the review. If they each received 10, there can't be a discernible difference between the two, as they would be measured relative to eachother.
What I'm saying is simply this. I don't think I'm in damage control at all, because with a 10 out of 10 review, there is no damage to mitigate. However, I think Sony fans are still quite desperate to mitigate the damage done by Microsoft gaining exclusive DLC. Right now, both games have a score of ten. But the 360 version is the only one that has the potential for future improvement..........
