Worst Ratings EVER

I havent been a member on here long but ive checked out the site regularly to see the reviews and for a long time everything was cool and i could rely on gamespot to tell me what games suck and what games dont.

But for the past year it seems that the reviews are just getting ridiculous. It just seems ridiculous for someone to rate GTA4 a perfect game and then rate games lower that are actually a million times better.. how can fallout 3 be a 9?how is RE5 a 8.5? If your going on the basis that games should improve to get a good score then GTA should be a5.It has a ridiculous amount of detail and fun but yet a game so incredibly repetive as GTA4 gets the legendary perfect score? It seems that games who spend the most money on adverstising get the better scores nowadays...

another example is KZ2 which was all hype no show but still got a great rating. theres several other examples those are just recent ones.

Then why does it say "perfect" right under the 10? :roll:

I thought GTA deserved it's 10, many people don't though. The game was repetitive, but it had amazing characters, amazing dialogue, the missions we're fun, and the story was good, the graphics and physics were very well done too. Most games do get the score they rightfully deserve, but lately many games have flopped hard (Halo Wars, RE5, Madworld) all 3 of these are underrated by GS, MW is at least an 8, RE5 is a 9 and HW is an 8 also. GS can't always hit the mark with reviews, but they are mostly in the ball park, minus some famous blunders. After playing KZ2 I think it deserved it score, but I would also see an 8.5 being fair.Im_single

i agree with that mostly, but still dont think gta deserved a 10. possibly a 9. but it what game developers seem to be donig nowadays is overlooking the fun factor (which is the entire point of games) and going for the realistic art piece. It simply lacked the fun. About 15 (maybe less) weapons that got old incredibly fast, give me a freakin minigun and more less obvious gun choices!! seriously Deagle, AK47, and m16 are in every single game to existance and its getting sooo boring. the cell phone was cool...for the first few hours. like 10 dumb funless cheats. no awesome stats or dual wielding like in San Andreas. No Planes. No weight lifting. Sooo basically what you have left is a semi realistic game with 0 fun. Online play = worst idea ever.

so how does such a game get a perfect score? not sure..........

Taken from the rating scale: "10.0: Prime This exceedingly rare score refers to a game that is as perfect as a game can aspire to be at its time of release."

Judging by that definition, a 10 means perfect.

[QUOTE="MAILER_DAEMON"]I believe it says Editor's Choice Also, a 10 on GS' rating scale is Prime. Perfect is only for user reviews. Stop rolling eyes now, k?MAILER_DAEMON

This is a perfect explanation of the situation.

Grand Theft Auto 4 deserved its 10 in my opinion and Resident Evil probably deserved its 8.5. Fallout 3 maybe should have increased to 9.5 but i'm not sure.

It doesnt, under every 10 it says editors choice.

and right from the about gamespots rating system.

"10.0: Prime
This exceedingly rare score refers to a game that is as perfect as a game can aspire to be at its time of release. Obviously, the constantly changing standards for technology and gameplay will probably make this game obsolete some day, but at its time of release, a game earning this score could not have been improved upon in any meaningful way."

Please keep in mind these reviews are made by people, the scores reflect their opinion. Just because you disagree with a particular score does not mean that they are wrong in anyway. If you find the Gamespot reviews so disconcerting then I recommend using a different website for reviews; if no reviewer matches your opinion closely enough then you'll just have to live with it, there is no reason to complain about the reviews you disagree with.

Opinions.

Believe it or not, people have their own and they tend to differ.
