@battlefront1943 @Justin_G But if they are forcing a number on a glowing review, they need to justify the number placement.

This is just proving why the number system needs to go away.

@smokeless_0225 @battlefront1943 If there is a reason for the game to be held back from a 9 or 10, its the reviewers duty to explain why to the reader, even if its extremely small issues.

@battlefront1943 This is why the "Looks like that game publisher did'nt pay Gamespot enough for a good score" thing persists.

@Coren_Larken @milsvaard Then why not state the game design itself is not perfect?

@strrckshn I'd accept it, it would at least be something.

@tomservo51 @Redblaze27 Even if you want to play it that way, a reason for it not being a 9 should exist.

@tomservo51 @Redblaze27 If a game isnt worthy of a perfect score and nothing is inherently wrong with it, there should be some aspects that shouldn't be as strong as they could be.

If the game is not worthy of a 10, there should be something, ANYHTING posted under "The Bad" to try to justify it, no matter how nitpicky it sounds.

@dannydopamine8 should 3 & 4's only be reserved for completely broken movies?

Should've had a gaming PC as a control (and state its specs for data).

Like one of those gaming PC's they made for $550 in a previous article.
