Why don't we just let it die. We all had a good laugh this morning about this nonsense and now it's done. The mysteries been figured out and life will go on. That small site can do whatever they want with their numbers because it's theirs to screw with. I doubt a single person here would even know or care had this not directly affected Zelda so just leave it be.

You know, for someone going on about mathematics so much, this whole conversation wouldn't have been needed if you had simply realized they truncated instead of rounding.

Rounding is not a mathematical law, it is convention. Plus, as was just mentioned, this was truncated rather than rounded.

his thread is silly as all of the other games on the site recieved the same treatment. Besides, I think it makes sense, these people rated some games 9.5 to 9.9 for a reason, they didn't think it quite made the workings of a '10' game. If they did tha, then we would have some people complaining how many 10's they just threw around... you can't please everyone.

 Perhaps so, but that "one thing" that kept it from being a 10 was a 1% ding.  Now it is a 10% hit.  Was that one thing a reason to dock the game 10% of the overall score?  They should have left well enough alone and just revised going forward instead of doing it in arrears.  One thing is certain, however, and that is they got their site in the headlines in a big way.  I've never been to their site and I suspect the vast majority of VGC members have not, either.  They certainly are better known now...  possible mission accomplished?

There are different methods of calculating rounding, but they still say you round up. Stores are adjusting the prices, not doing straight rounding. 

As for onyxmeth, it doesn't matter if Zelda triggered this. The promt to leading to a faulty system does not make the grievance agains that system illegitimate. 

Fuck it. If they truncated, whatever. If they though OoT wasn't a 10, then that's their choice. I would like to see a proper explanation of what they did.

Not asking for a link. I'm going to look it up.

Although it's kind of funny how most of those defending this seemed to be the ones agreeing that OoT shouldn't have been on top. I could be wrong though. I just notice I'm only getting arguments from a few of you.

Also, right or wrong. cubed3 had lousy timing in making this adjustment. It is going to look suspicious simply because of when they did it.

 Yep Sometimes, I think I'm the only one who dislikes both OoT and GTAIV

I am glad you didn't flip me off, as you would have because you think I am "reading" something into your post that you say is not there. And all I did, was ask a question. I did not presume to know the answer. It would have been rather hypocritical of you to do so ;)

We know nothing about that site. For all we know, they could have always based there internal scores on a 100 point system, and then floored it to two levels of fidelity. So a 7.88, would be a 7.8 on there site. Going forward, they might floor all there new reviews as well. Meaning a 6.86 would be a 6. If that's there internal policy, meaning they would have done that on all games from the start, they are well within there right to do so without it being lazy.

I am sure you don't care about that one little site, you probably care more about how that site effect GameRankings.com. 

It still has a 97.4 on that site and in the top 3 games ever made, so it's regarded as a great game. What's your concern?

That was about the possible bias of those arguing with me, not abut Zelda or GTA.

I am sorry, I don't follow you here. What's wrong with the timing? I mean you have already stated that GTAIV has nothing to do with this post, and aside from that, I can't see where this timing matters.

Is there a new Zelda coming out or something? Please explain.
