No. The laws of math don't work that way. If they actually decided that every review was lower than they thought, then okay. If they were just deciding to blanket adjust, based on the numbers, and not their reviews of the games, they are fudging the numbers. If they had originally decided OoT was close, but no 10, as other suggested, that would not be an issue, but every game with a decimal above 5 are close, but not those numbers? That is just wrong. That is just hacking off the second numbers. That isn't real adjustment, that is being lazy. |
Well, if you followed real rounding, you would have to give every game that had a 9.5, a 10. And 9.5 games are not 10 games. Ok, so you don't do that, then what do you do? Re-review every game? give 9.9 games 10, and 9.8 games 9? If you do that, it's no better, as it's just some arbitrary thing like what they did.
I could see the owner of that site thinking "Well, I would rather everyone play the games we review, and think they are better then then review, then think they are worse. Let's just lower the score's of all games, and error on the side of caution".
Why does that bother you? If you are letting GTAIV motivate you to post this, you need to review your priorities in life my friend :)
