No game should ever have straight 9s

Why. Because not everyone is goingto love a single game. So I'm wondering why do every blockbuster obtain these scores. Halo 3, MGS4, Uncharted 2 among thieves, super mario galaxy, etc. The hype, the amount of fanboyism that goes into these games astounding. Unlike the movie genre, reviewers can be as subjective as possible. Why didn't I enjoy this movie, what I enjoyed about this movie. However, you never see these statements in blockbuster games. I found some of the sections to be dull and boring. I found the last section to be too hard and thus making it frusterating. Instead, they attempt to be as objective as possible. This game is technically the best game. Instead of this game is technically the best game made unfortunately I felt the artstyle was generic and didn't immerse the player. Blockbuster games never have negative aspects about stuff they didn't enjoy. It ultimately just feels like a bullet point features of all the aspects of the game which is disappointing.

Ultimately, I find that score usually are similar with the amount of production values instead of the enjoyment. GTA 4 had immense production values and as result scored high. Uncharted 2 had immense production values and scored high. Halo 3 had immense production values. However, I enjoyed infamous more than halo 3 or gta 4. Why can't I score that game higher than those games if I enjoyed the game more.

I agree somewhat. I guess game reviewers are just a boring bunch. I like the ones at IGN thoe.

well you can, can't you:? maybe I missed the entire point, but reviews and scores are just guidelines...

Forget games, no reviewed items should have straight 9's...

Then again, it's bound to happen that people agree...

sometimes games are just that good.

....or maybe some games simply just that great?

Then what's the point of scoring games in the first place?mo0ksi

A score is a spark note to a review some people are too lazy to read.

So essentially you want to take scores given to games you don't like and give them to games you do like?:?SpiritOfFire117

I don't know if I got it wrong, but basically you are saying that if in SW we decide that AAA is now 7 AA is 6 and so on, then no game should ever have straight 7s?

People with lack of taste of good games don't matter.

So "No game should ever get a straight 10" is been around for a while... now it's down to "No game should ever get straight 9s". Next, "No game should ever get straight 8s".

Better ditch the scoring systems ASAP :roll:

Since a review is just a single opinion... I don't see why anyone needs to "agree" with it.

game reviews aren't opinions.nhh18

Which is my main problem. Unless the games everyone love is modern warfare 2, and uncharted 2. And goty can't go to a game like 30 second hero, or little king story. Or best graphics can never go to somethign like a boy and his blob. Nothing about games are subjective. And only some games deserve these awards. I wish game reviews would follow a similar route to movies.

how do u want games review to not be an opinion, if you enjoy a game it's already an opinion
