Sorry but games like Bioshock dont deserve9.5 they deserve 9.7 or 9.8's. End of discussion. For such a great site they really dropped the ball with the change. IGN new rating system that system wars go by according to me.

Doesn't mean we can use it to justify ownage on game reviews here, so go tell it to someone else.

Oh and you DO know that if any game were to get up to 9.7 it would be an automatic 10, right?

Shows how much you thought about rounding to the nearest fifth.

GS can always give it a 10. About 10 other sites have, so its not like its not a possibility.

I know exactly what SW is about but it seems you have forgotten that GS reviews are what matter here, not IGN. Besides, this is just a fun place to debate ones "opinions". They aren't fact.

I think you're being ignorant. 9.5 is still a good damn score. You think Bioshock will get 100% in every god damn site? No. Did OoT? no. Doesn't matter HOW good a game is someone is going to give it below a 9.

I find the new system kinda strange, I saw nothing wrong with the old system and it was good for system wars.But there are many sites that don't give scores for graphics, sound ect. Eurogamer is one of them. What's important is the actual text of the review, not the score. The new system has taken the fun out of guessing review scores here as the .5 rating system is boring.

No, you are very misinformed. You don't even need to spend $1,500 to play it at max. Well, that is if you know how to build your own computer. But you're talking about good and not max which brings the cost down even more.

I hate GameSpot's new scoring system. Plus, the quality of the review itself just doesn't seem to be up there with IGN's overall so I tend to agree more with IGN's reviews nowadays

You're going to make fun of PC hardware problems when the 360 has the RROD? That's pretty cheeky.

You can run a system test here to see if your PC can handle Bioshock

http://www.yougamers.com/gameometer/10181/

It would be interesting to see some results from hermits. My PC is so old I won't even bother so I'm getting it on 360

Oh and you DO know that if any game were to get up to 9.7 it would be an automatic 10, right?

Shows how much you thought about rounding to the nearest fifth.

Cedmln

Hell no !

9.6 and 9.7 would be a 9.5

9.8 and 9.9 would be a 10

Shows how much you thought about rounding to the nearest fifth.

Do you want my specs or a new computers specs? And please define "run it good" (As in what settings you feel will be "good") so I know the base.

I wanna run it at 1920 1080p Direct X 10 with max settings on. Give me the PC that can do it for 1500. Thanks.
