Exactly. I've played every game that received multiple 10s over the past year and frankly, I don't think a single one of them deserves that kind of score. They're all good but they lack the "wow" factor I expect from a 10 game and every single one of them had pretty significant faults. SMG had a buggy camera and it was an evolutionary step from M64, BioShock was in many ways a worse game than its predecessors, Halo 3 was too bloody short and just like Halo 2, and GTA IV was buggy as all get-out with repetitive missions. When reviewers are handing out perfect scores to flawed games, the review system is pretty much worthless. What happens if a game like Spore flips the industry on its head with radically different gameplay and a perfect interface? Will reviewers start handing out 11s to differentiate it from the flawed games they gave 10s earlier in the year? |
Trust me I get it. You guys feel those games don't deserve those scores while I and others do. Is really simple actually. Only read reviews that align with what you think and everyone will be happy. There are plenty of rocketpigs out there giving "real" reviews that will make you happy. Just look under gamerrankings towards the bottom and for most games there will be some 80's there just for you. Hell GTA got an 85 from some one for the 360 version which may align more with what you thought of the game. What we are seeing really is a difference of opinions is all. Just look at the uproar when zelda got an 8 in gamespot LOL. It will now be quoted as the biggest review blunder ever just because they went against the mold. Basically someone will ALWAYS disagree with you opinion because they see things different so reviews are just fine because that is what ends up happening. Like many say, instead of worrying about the numbers why not read the review. Pretend the number is just make believe :)
