I like the original scoring system as well games like Metroid prime and Halo getting a 9.7 or Perfect dark getting a 9.9 those were epic scores.

I want the 0.5 decimal scale back. There are those games who are "close but not quite there yet" so an 8.5 instead of an 8 for ex seems like an apropriate score to give actually

PLEASE GAME SPOT BACK ON 0.5 type like 8 8.5 9 9.5

and i remmember old times GS was score BASED on : GRAPHIC, GAMEPLAY, STORY instead of value. SOUND

I think STORY WAS VERY BETTER THAN VALUE BACK TO THAT GS

The only review system that made sense was the 0.5 scale. The old, old 0.1 scale was ridiculous.

Remember when they reviewed individual aspects within the reviews? (Graphic, Story, Value, Gameplay and Audio)

I prefer the 0.5 increments system. What happens with the current scoring system is you get a game like Journey which scores 10, clearly it is something between 9 to 10 but this integer system is essentially placing it in the same league as The Witcher 3 and to that I say BULLSHIT. Then you have games like Rise of the Tomb Raider which is clearly inferior to something like Bloodborne yet they both get 9. A true 0.5 increment system would place RotTR at an 8.5 instead.

@GhostHawk196:

how do you even know that when reviews are opinions? How do you know that 2 completely different reviewers will both think that Journey doesn't deserves a 10 as much as The Witcher? How is Tomb Raider inferior to Bloodborne? Maybe to you it is but that's in no way a fact, it's only your opinion.

It wasn't story, it was "reviewer's tilt".

LOL I remember that. I was on mobile on that day and I thought my phone had been infected with a virus at first with all those dicks, but then, I relies it was all of Sniper's doing.

The old system made no sense. What the ****'s the difference between a 9.4 and a 9.5?
