It wouldn't hurt you to do some research before starting a thread.

Nana you are barking up the wrong tree. I clearly stated in my opening post that when all the games had the same amount of reviews GTAIV was on top. i was just pointing this site out to them thats all, i can read i do know that OoT is higher now because of the fewer reviews it has gotten

And your point is? GTA is on top because it has more reviews so if you removed the negative ones it's higher than OoT?

 no no no you really do noy get it. ok read this really carefully so i can explain it to you ok

 

when GTAIV had the same AMOUNT of reviews as OoT, GTAIV had a higher score. I am not saying cherry picking reviews to make GTAIV win, i am just saying that when all three games had mid 30 reviews the ps3 version of GTAIV was leading the way.

This is still a very flawed way of looking at the numbers. Most of OoT's grades come from magazines. This is due the fact that there weren't a lot of game review sites back in 1998. The grades from magazines generally also come in later...

And as you yourself already stated - the first grades from GTA were higher then those of OoT. These were mostly websites. It is, in a way very flawed both statisticly and ethicly to compare two different types of media.

I can also state with a certain certainty that magazines are generally a bit harsher as they have more time for testing. So in a way, OoT should be even more commended for being up there as it was looked at longer.
