[QUOTE="Andrew_Xavier"][QUOTE="The_Game21x"][QUOTE="Andrew_Xavier"][QUOTE="The_Game21x"]Dude, seriously, I have no idea what you're talking about. It doesn't say that anywhere in GS's review of GTA IV. :|
If you go to this link, it clearly states that a 10/10 stands for Prime.

See, perfect.
Yeah, and last I checked, player reviews weren't indicative of the scores actually doled out by GameSpot's editorial staff.
Maybe GameSpot didn't think about updating the player review system once they overhauled their review system. Maybe they just didn't care. Either way, you're just grasping for straws at this point.
Grasping for nothing, it quite literally says "perfect", if it's "prime", than GTA IV still isn't that. It is flaws, many flaws, if it's a "10", then many many other games need to be "10"s too. 10 should be reserved to a true system selling (which it has proven to not be), app that revolutionizes the genre (it doesn't), that is untouchable by all other released games (it isn't), that is so beyond incredible that people have to own it (they don't), and no one could possibly dislike it (many do).
Well since you think that, take a look at this. It's a picture of the link I gave you earlier.
What does it say by the 10.0 rating? Hmm...looks like the word "Prime" to me.
But that really doesn't matter. Everything you said is all your opinion of what you think a game that receives a 10 should be, which clearly differs from that of the many reviewers that gave this game a 10. It is not a fact. Justin Calvert, the Senior Editor at GameSpot who reviewed the game, even said near the end of the GS video review that the game isn't perfect. Don't believe me? go watch it for yourself.
Bottom line, the game isn't perfect and no one said it is but to say it isn't worthy of the score it received is just your opinion. It doesn't make it any better than anyone else's.
"This exceedingly rare score refers to a game that is as perfect as a game can aspire to be at its time of release."
There's that word again, "perfect". That grasping too :cry:?
If the game isn't AS PERFECT AS A GAME CAN ASPIRE TO BE AT IT'S TIME OF RELEASE, then how did it get a score indicitive of a game that is "AS PERFECT AS A GAME CAN ASPIRE TO BE AT IT'S TIME OF RELEASE"?
