[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="drekula2"]

for me, skyward was an 8.

it felt too dragged out.  had they cut out the fluff and reduced the 45 hour adventure to about 30, it would have easily been a 10, because aside from the backtracking and repetition, everything else was awesome.

Pikminmaniac

7. 8 is too high

What about 9.5 for being proof of the Wii concept. I hold Skyward Sword in high regard because of how well it incorperated quality motion controls into the game. It felt like a playground to interact with 1:1. There is nothing like it on the market. At least not to the degree and quality of Skyward Sword.

I was let down when I first played the game because I was looking at it as a Zelda, but that was wrong IMHO. It something different. They took a very different approach to this game and as soon as I started looking at it for its own merits did I see how brilliant it is. No, it doesn't have certain aspects that I loved from past Zelda games, but it offers a lot of quality aspects that no other Zelda had.

I do factor in the controls as it's greatest strength.  Even though, despite having complete freedom with the controls, you were almost always restricted to slashing in certain ways, making it only superficially different than an analog stick.

These were the closest to perfection I can think of. Both were certainly "prime" if we were to go with GS's description of a 10.

I have a lot of memorable games throughout the generations. I don't go by a "score" but by how the game made me feel and or how much I played it.  Here are some of my best games and memories:

1. Super Mario Brothers-NES

2. Legend of Zelda- NES

3. Street Fighter 2-Arcade/SNES

4. Final Fight-Arcade/SNES

5. Mike Tysons Punchout-NES/Arcade

6. Super Mario 64- "Wow factor" for it's time

7. Legend of Zelda OoT- "Wow factor"

8. Halo Combat Evolved-Xbox

9. Soul Calibur-DC version. Unbelievable for it's time grahpically, gameplay..perfect.

10. Far Cry (PC) A true "Next Gen" experience in 2004

11. HL2 (PC Another "Wow factor" next gen experience in 2004 that STILL looks great today. (Played Loast Coast for fun last night and it's still beautiful)

12. Counter-Strike Source: Played this game more than probably any game I have ever had

13. FEAR PC 2005: Amazing engine and graphics for it's time and a scary game with perfect atmosphere.

14. Crysis 2007: Still a beautiful game and engine that really wasn't fully realized until years later when PCs could really play the game.  The world is so open and the environment was so destructible and could impact the way you attacked or approached a situation.  I recently downloaded and installed the 2013 release of BlackFire Mod and it only manipulates the lighting and let's you change the look on the fly with the press of a key.  It really brings out the brilliance of Crysis and makes it look damn near as good as Crysis 3 (PC version).

15. Fight Night Round 3: Sure not a great game score wise but a real showcase of  the PS3/360 when it came out with good online competition. 

16. Uncharted 2 (such an immersive game. Uncharted just was a bit boring and I wasn't wowed by the graphics as PC games were way ahead at that point.

17. Halo 3

18. L4D 1&2 (PC versions) for it's ridiculously addictive co-op and online multiplayer (survival)

19. Batman AA (PC)

20. Portal 2

21. Crysis 3- Mainly for the graphics. Just "wow." Almost didn't include this game.

22. Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown.  To me this is the perfect fighting game

23. Mortal Kombat 9 (PS3)

24. Killer Instinct (Arcade)

25. Killer Instinct Gold (N64)

26. Sonic the Hedgehog

27. Fight Night Champion (360 Version)

28. Elevator Action (NES) Such a great simple game for it's time

29. TMNT-SNES

30. Streets of Rage (Genesis)

31. Mortal Kombat 2 (Arcade and SNES)

32. Deus Ex: HR

 

I'm sure there are many more and these are in no particular order.  Just games that are memorable and or current with me that I play.  I am not big on "scores" as even if a game has many imperfections I might still be super fond of it for personal reasons.

The quality and the replayability really is top of the line in its genre. Though the final reason why i don't hesitate at giving the game a 10/10 is that the developers really went out of their way with the content. Besides having the full original Panzer Dragoon as an unlockable (albeit aged quite a bit, it's still fun and has a fantastic soundtrack/atmosphere), there's a lot of other extra unlockables like extra bonus missions & sub-scenarios with different characters, a ton of artwork, a full encyclopedia of the Panzer Dragoon world (which is awesome for fans like me), and so on.

Easily worth buying an OG Xbox for.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"]This generation? Hmmm. Funny, I don't think I have any 10/10s this generation :P Unless Pokemon HG/SS count, but those are remakes, so I hesitate to include them.

Ewww, dat horrendously tacked on kanto region brings g/s/c/hg/ss down to a solid 9 for me. Fire Red/Leaf Green only true 10/10 pokemon games. Of course, X/Y looks absolutely fantastic. Anyways I don't have any 10/10s. Closest ones are Ni No Kuni, Fire Emblem Awakening, Xenoblade, Last of Us, MGS4, Demons Souls, Ghost Trick. No particular order.

Hmm not sure I'd give anything from 7th gen a 10/10. Bioshock, Bioshock Infinite, The Last of Us, and Mass Effect 2/3 are the closest to it though.

I figured I would just read a few of these rather than ignore them like most people do. NieR is just such an odd choice considering that it feels like it wasn't even finished. I liked the game too. I played it through to the end. It's just got so many boring parts to it (ie travelling), parts that don't work the way they wanted to (ie sidequests), and parts that just shouldn't have existed at all (ie text adventure dungeon). I also feel like the plot had a few missed opportunities.

I'm not saying that NieR is an odd choice to enjoy.  It's just an odd choice to give a 10 to.  I wouldn't give a 10 to my favorite game of all time (Majora's Mask), because of the obvious flaws it has.

Definitely.  The amount of content in Orta is ridiculous.  From the Episodeons to the side missions, and having the original Panzer Dragoon was also stellar for me.  Lots of love went into it, it's just a shame that SmileBit is no more.

I figured I would just read a few of these rather than ignore them like most people do. NieR is just such an odd choice considering that it feels like it wasn't even finished. I liked the game too. I played it through to the end. It's just got so many boring parts to it (ie travelling), parts that don't work the way they wanted to (ie sidequests), and parts that just shouldn't have existed at all (ie text adventure dungeon). I also feel like the plot had a few missed opportunities.

I'm not saying that NieR is an odd choice to enjoy.  It's just an odd choice to give a 10 to.  I wouldn't give a 10 to my favorite game of all time (Majora's Mask), because of the obvious flaws it has.

We have different standards then. I don't see a "10" as "flawless". I see it as "a most enjoyable experience that is incredibly unique and endearing (for any reason)". Something I will remember for years, decades or even the rest of my life.
