gamespots been reviewing harsher lately and using the scoring system to its full extent... (I don't necessarily like the last of US) They gave the last of us an 8 though,

GTAV-8 and a 9
Batman a 6
FF:LR a 5
KZ 7
Knack a 4.
Bioshock Infinite: A 9 and 4
Rekoil a 3


which I applaud, though some of their reviews aren't very good.
And a lot of times they don't understand game mechanics, Which I don't applaud. 

GTAV-8 and a 9? Why 2 scores?

Told you the meta for this game wouldn't be higher than 70, after the first reviews came in. I think this game is rushed, hence the bad scores.

If not for the game draught on the WiiU, this game could've afforded to launch later and be better received.

this is gonna get ugly,

score doesnt mean much, without words to back it. I wanna know why the reviewer gave the score she/he did

Gamespot was one of the only websites to give Demon's Souls the game of the year. And for that they got my admiration.

And it jumped off the TLOU and GTA bandwagon and gave LoZ: ALBTW the GOTY for 2013. And for that they got my respect.

And now it seems they are more willing to use a wider range of scores when reviewing games? If true then for that they get my support.

So a 5/10 for a particular game might not accord with the opinions of many people, but I'm inclined to give it more credence than all the gushing 10's it gets.

they did it for bioshock infinite too.

IDK why they did it. It's a different staff reviewer though, and the second review for each of them was a little after the first review.

I know. Nintendo was really caught off guard by this HD developing stuff. Almost all their game have been delayed multiple times now.

 

I remember people expecting Zelda WiiU early 2014, before the console had launched, but now we don't even have a release date for it!
