What the hell are people talking about, 10/10 is perfect. If anyone goes to school and gets a 10/10 on a test that means they got everything right and nothing wrong. Now the smaller of a window that people have to score the more leniency they have. For example if a critic has a thumbs up/thumbs (equivalent to a pass/fail score system in a class)down score then a thumbs up doesnt mean prefect. But in a world where most reviews have a 10 point system with at least half point increments, it is inexcusable to give a game 10/10 unless it is perfect. 0 = shit, 5= average and 10 = flawless.
The "10/10 is the best in its genre is pure crap" If MGS3 got a 10 and MGS 4 got a 10 how good is MGS3 in relativity to 4. If an mgs like game(Splinter Cell maybe?) now gets a 9.8 does that mean its better than MGS3 seeing that MGS3's 10 is no longer as valued due to the fact that MGS4 got a 10. Its a complete catastrophe and ass backward thinking.
For the record I use MGS just as an example and am not shitting on any particular game.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
