By saying that the game doesn't "deserve" a 10/10 unless you've played it"?

Well, duh. I DID say "to all those that think BB is amazing", I'm not saying "score it even though you haven't played it".

And yes, scoring it a 10/10 is what the game deserves IMO. And yes, I think ppl who love the game and feel like games like this should be given the score it deserves (if they feel that way) to help games like this succeed as much as it can should just take the time and voice their opinions and should take into consideration scores put there out of obvious spite to lower the score by using an "offsetting" scoring system.

It should end in the 92%-94%; but 1 or 2 points more or less means nothing nowdays with Meta, with all these Clickbait small sites...you know...

Meta at 93% with 41 Reviews.   

I didn't reply to that post though. I replied to one where you said people should give it a 10/10 not because it's amazing, but to offset 0/10 scores (to give it a more fair rating). That's all I am saying.

By the way this game does look amazing - beter than the upcoming Zelda.

Speaking with regard to "true" exclusives (not stuff available on PC or last gen), yes. I looked out of curiosity, just at retail releases (though it wouldn't be any different on PS4 anyway):

PS4:

Bloodborne - 93 (could change by a point or two but almost guaranteed to stay in the 90s)

(Next highest would be Infamous: Second Son with an 80. Nothing else above 80.)

XO:

(Sunset Overdrive - 81 - nothing else over 80)

Wii U:

Super Mario 3D World - 93

Smash Bros. - 92

Bayonetta 2 - 91

(Mario Kart 8 - 88)

(Pikmin 3 - 87)

(New Super Mario Bros. U - 84)

(Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - 83)

(Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - 81)

(LEGO City Undercover - 80)

Reread the conversation. He asked why I would rate it a 10/10. I replied by saying I feel like it deserves a 10/10 or a 9/10 at least and giving it a 10/10 would, offset the hater ratings and put it at 9/10 which is the least of what I feel it deserves. It was the explanation of reasoning for a scoring made in feply to a specific comment. Not a call to all to do anything.

You literally jumped in the middle of a conversation, and without understanding context, made a snide comment that really isn't relevant to the conversation in question...

yeah and if the metascore stays at 93 then it will be the highest rated exclusive so far of this generation along with Super Mario 3D World

I didn't quote anything out of context.

In fact I just re-read the reply you gave to th other person and it makes it clear my context is perfect as is. Truck said: "Giving 10/10 reviews to a game to offset haters giving 0/10 is just stooping down to their level, in my opinion."

So basically what I typed still stands.... so I'm pretty much done with this convo. I'm just telling people don't rate it til they've played it and don't get into ratings wars. And even after playing it, give it an honest rating, not a rating to offset others. I think I made a mistake where I said "you" it was like I was referring to you personally, I meant to use the impersonal you and just referring generally.

You actually did. In fact, that is exactly what you did. Not intentionally, I guess. As it is clear you didn't understand what the conversation was about. You just took tidbits that seemed to bother you and didn't take the time to understand why it was being said and for what purpose. Next time, take the conversation as a whole, or stay out of it.

I agree, ppl shouldn't rate unless they've played it. That's what I said and I was talking to the ppl who find the game amazing. I disagree about a non-offsetting rating as being "dishonest". It is simply having an understanding of the hostile rating environment that exists specifically for console exclusives and compensating for it. Overall, it actually makes your rating more balanced and fair.

I did a quick poking about, and i'm not sure the 7's actually will be added. The only gamereactor site that was previous listed on metacritic was Sweden, and their reviews haven't been counted on any recent games (not sure why). The other 7 (7.5?) has never been listed. Always a chance they'll suddenly pop up though.

I do expect Bloodborne to be knocked down a little at some point though. At 93 even a 9/10 is sometimes scratching it down lol (depending on the weight).
