 Fine, since you think the game will get 10. If you win, I will pay you 200 dollars. If the game doesn't get 10, you pay me 100 dollars. It seems fair

eh. Reread his post. He said he was willing to bet it wouldn't be a 10.  I agree. I say lower 9's.

/sigh, and here I had hoped we had a bet. Re-read the post you quoted all of 4 seconds after I posted it (aka I had zero time to edit).

edit: ok it was 2 minutes later (got a head-cold gimme a break)...but I still didn't edit it...I double checked my wording before posting it (because of said cold).



To Each Man, Responsibility

Oh, nevermind.

hmm, then I won't risk that much. I put 20 bucks on the game being 9.4.

Ok I in spite of my lust for power and VG$ I'll let the bet go, I don't want to derail the thread...and besides anyone who listened to the podcast has heard them state explicitly the score WILL NOT be a 10...and considering their criticism on those same podcast I don't think they were joking.

They also pretty much flat out said its higher than a 9....no shocker there though.

edit: Since everyone is predicting, I'll go with 9.6.  And no I'm not interested in any bets on that...I despise review scores and the only way I'll put money on them is if it simultaneously crushes the dreams of an irrational fanboy who needs to learn how little they matter...granted I wouldn't have minded taking your money either...but still.



To Each Man, Responsibility

I honestly don't think any respectable reviewer will give SSBB a perfect score. The game is by no mean perfect.

in fact, I hate the whole notion of perfect score. (Unless the score system is 5, like in XPlay, then that's fine)

It's going to get a 9.4



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

 It depends on the review scale.  If my scale puts  high quality but not quite top tier games at a 10/10 then it has to reflect that in my other scores and smash should absolutely get a 10/10.

If I give those same high quality games a 5/10 on my scale then I could see smash getting a 8.9/10. 

 

Its the exact same concept as any other form of measurement.  If I want to measure the temperature I have to know what system of units I'm dealing with or the number is meaningless. And without a lengthy understanding of a site's review history you simply don't get that..which is again why I hate reveiw scores and people who put all their stock in them.  And yes, all of the consoles have games that get shafted and games that get the royal treatment unduly.

 

I actually think Smash gets that Royal treatment but I'd be kidding myself to not acknowledge that it deserves a lot of it....I'm just not sold on the idea that it deserves all of it.
