An 8 now, is better than an 8 last year. The standards of games improve over time, which is why GTA can get 10's because it pushes the boundaries of what is possible now, even if every game can have that amount of scope in the future (well they won't but....). If you look at the graphics scores of games, a 10 last year, would only get a 9 this year, and that same reasoning applies to other parts of the scores, to a lesser extent. Taken the QTEs in GoW, they were basically a brand new game element and they were praised, but now they have been used to death

Episode I should have received 10s while The Empire Strikes Back is only worthy of 6s.


That is very different, you cannot just judge a film on technical merits. What I am talking about GTA wise is the amount of detail in the huge city which is just mind blowing


That's just it; they are the same. You have to judge a game on how it plays and how it tells its story, not on current technology trends. Those change on a yearly basis, storytelling and gameplay does not.
