as i start to peruse sites lately ive seen a disturbing trend. it seems as if alot of reviewers and game journalist are doubting the scores for bishock.

it appears alot feel it definitely deserved a 7/10 or an 8/10 but felt giving it a perfect score was over the top.

and having now played through it, many are speaking of the flaws and the standard PFS duldrums....like

boring control scheme
on par A.I.
dreadful a-b missions
and over all "just another" type of game design.

so what happenned here? how is the game that everyone at launch and pre launch said was a "perfect 10" is now sounding as if it really should have been a 7-8/10?

No one site should be your #1 source.

What happened? Some reviewers got carried away and others were always going to give it a perfect score (the offical publications).

Other than that some reviewers just don't use 10 or 100 as "perfect" but rather the score for the best games of the year.

Bioshock was overrated to begin with anyways.

I agree with some of your ideas, but the way you present them are in a rather demeaning and argumentative way. Take that kind of crap to System Wars.

If you are going to claim that some people are going back on their initial reviews of the game and such, try making a thread where you have the evidence to back such a claim right off the bat, k?

This thread is locked, and don't bother making another one of this unless you have something to solidify these claims within the thread itself.
