Gamespot said they would never give another 10 again, what a lie! Seriously, with GTAIV and MGS4 whats with this? GTAIV doesn't totally deserve a 10, and neither does MGS4. They all have problems! GTAIV has targeting issues and pop-in problems, and those undermine the score. I love the game but it doesn't deserve a 10. As for MGS4, I'm not totally sure but I'll have to see what I experience. In short though, they're great games, really fantastic. Im happy PS3 guys got a great game with them now, they deserve it after all this waiting. But the games don't deserve perfect scores because they have problems with them one way or the other. The only other game I see that really doesn't have any problems at all is Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, somethings magical about that game. And MGS4 and GTAIV don't deserve to be the best games of all time on this site, they should be after Ocarina and Chrono Trigger in my opinion. But still, these games aren't perfect, but I'm not saying they're bad, I think they both rock.

P.S.- if GTAIV's going to be the best game of all time on that list, the 360 version should be before the PS3 because of DLC.

Yeah, that's exactly why 10/10 is "Prime" and not "Perfect" :|

Congrats, you made a whining thread!!

The fact is, 2 of this gen's greatest games have come out within months of each other. It just happened that way, and that's all.

Gamespot is not getting careless, they're just rating games!!

Not really, no. But even though I haven't played MGS4 yet, from what I've heard, it's another one of those few games that would deserve a 10. However, I think this is mainly because MGS4 is unique in its formula, and because it relies so much more on story than on anything else, even gameplay.

Both GTA IV and MGS4 are very good games, and deserving of their scores. Particularly MGS4... the first line of the GS review got it right. It is the most technically impressive game ever made, and everything is so incredibly well done. It is the first game I've played that makes me truly feel that we needed a new generation of consoles to advance the sport of gaming.

You mean all 2 of these perfect scores?

Whatever happened to the idea of a game deserving the score it gets?

I dont why people take 10/10 perfect because nothing human is perfect something perfect would 11/10 because it goes out of bounds of what us humans can do.

This person is clearly a lemming with damage control since he said the 360 of GTAIV deserves a 10 because of download content.

Well let me tell you, reviewers review games that are on the disk, no download crap, the content which is already in the game.

It's due to the new rating system. They can't give out 9.9s or 9.8s anymore. So far I have agreed with both of their 10s (well, maybe GTA4 should had been a 9.5) but I think SMG certainly deserved a 10 maybe.

Logically and philosophically, there is no perfect game that exist and that there never will that would result to no game deserving a 10.

A 10 here will never mean it's perfect. it will just mean it's so epic so great, etc.

Yes, but my point is, it's not exclusive, which is what the whole point was when MaximumD posted.

Him responding with, Xbox has one too is pointless since PS3 has that same 10 as well anyways. That's all I'm saying...

"But, buh, bu....there is no way that it just might actually be a great game that is so well made that it deserves a 10. I just cannot comprehend such a possibility. I mean, afterall, it is on the PS3, and I love teh 360.":cry:
