I am just curious as to what people think should be the deciding factors for a game to get a perfect score.

For me for a game to deserve a ten it needs to have...

the best game play ever

no technical flaws what so ever

no point in the game where you are bored

and great graphics for its time

replayability

and everlasting appeal

what do you guys think

Wow...you just defined the perfect chick there.

no technical flaws what so ever

and great graphics for its time

replayability

and everlasting appeal

I believe no game will ever be perfect, but its a game that will change the generation around based on the technology it presents and the amount of content it goes into it.

You can say that for GTAIV or MGS4 which both got perfect scores on ign and gamespot and despite GTAIV having technical flaws, the game just puts so much content for lasting appeal. Same thing for MGS4, the gameplay has really changed and the storyline is absolutely a masterpiece. While GTAIV has its flaws and the MGS4 sort of has a somewhat longer storyline with a lot of cutscenes, both games really turned the generation around (this generation as an example)

All I care about is that there are few bugs in it, and the gameplay is fun most of the time.

Yeah, I don't really think a perfect score needs to express perfection, because it's impossible to obtain. Also, when a game does get a perfect score when the standards are as high as IGN's or Gamespot's standards, it feels like the system is rigged. I'd rather it be more like a grade in high school where 10 is great and everything below has mistakes that harm the gameplay. A game that gets an 8.0 - 10.0 on IGN's or Gamespot's scale is good enough for a ten in my book.

Perfect is subjective. What one person says is perfect, another disagrees. Therefore, no such thing as a perfect game.
