BLOODY IDIOTS-- how could they say a game as great as this is emba..

oh

actually, what i do find interesting is that this review had found a couple semi-legitimate (semi because i'll have to play it for myself to agree/disagree) flaws, yet they gave it a 10.. whereas 1up could only come up with the overused "doesn't have high res" and dropped it 9.5, i guess it shows that the numeric score is really not a good indicator of the quality of a game

This is why games should be judged out of 100% damn it! 10/10 is too vague for my liking, and indicates a perfect 100%.

who cares. Honestly.

Out of 100% I give your post a 008%

These scores are meaningless, they are just indicators to.... ugh never mind I'm not wasting my time.

@Avalach21

That was a bit harsh and un-needed.

@SeriousWB

A 10/10 does indicate a perfect 100%, that's not hard to figure out, if a reviewer who scrores from 1-10 doesn't feel it deserves a 100% they give a 9 or 9.5.

Well since I bothered to post about it, the obvious answer would be me no? Since you bothered to reply to my post, you care aswell? If they were meaningless, there wouldn't be scores.

Edit: Yea AoA, it's just the amount of 10/10s I see lately is getting to me. I guess it's just a pet peeve.

@ Lingyis they are being sarcastic! What they mean is that every other game you ever played will suck after playing SMG. The criticism is about the other games not SMG. That's how they try to justify the 10/10.

no, i'm referring to actual criticisms. like what they said about each world feels like a separate game and no sense of "home" world.

They are pointing out that this game is very varied, every world is different and has a unique feel to it. Variation is a good thing !

*Sigh*, reviewers are talking about like Sunshine was full of crap, or more likely, never existed. Personally I loved and still love that game. Same with Zelda, whining about the fact Wind Waker was "nothing like" OOT was, Twilight Princess came and reviewers completely forgot about Wind Waker or even Majora's Mask like these games never have been released. And the most fun part of all is... people were complaining that Twilight Princess was "too much like" OOT and I bet for sure we'll get to hear a lot of complaints about Galaxy as well...
