I've posted this already in a thread ( with the question if all games that got a ten deserve it ), but i want to know your opinions on the subject! ( and please, let it not be some fanboyisch discussion and maybe with some guy's that are longer here then yesterday ). And it's not because it's PS3 game that i got my doubts about it, but because two tens in a month is silly! If gears of war 2 get's a ten, i wouldn't agree either! ( if it's not revolutionary ).
Okay, this is the first time i ever post at gamespot, but i have been keeping up with system wars for about five years. ( Not to be amused with these little gamewars among gamers , but for this is a great place to get information about games really fast! )
I think OOT deserves his 10 out of 10 score completely! I just started playing GTA V ... the other ones i never played! But let me get back at OOT! Gamespot's review, among others, called OOT flawless ( for it's time, it was IMO ). For doubters i quote ' Ocarina of time definitely follows in the footsteps of the previous games, and the result is a game that can't be called anything other then flawless ' and ' In a word, perfect. To call it anything else would be a bald-faced lie. '
The controls were perfect, the sound was perfect, the world was, back in that day, really brought to life with an awsome story! It was a game that was revolutionary! Even for it's graphics ... From the review: graphically, ocarina of time is simply unmatched! EVEYTHING was the best for it's time!
Now, lets get back to todays standards! GTA V and MGS V! Beautifull crafted awsome games... i will never play the last so, even i'm in xbox360's favor, i can't really judge for myself! But do they both have perfect controls? very good, but not perfect! perfect graphics, the best for it's time ? no .... ( and 20 min. loadtime is just too much ) revolutionary ? no... inspiring? yes, in some places! It only think games that really offer a so called ' best in everything experience' deserve a ten! For example, one of my favorite games ever ' halo: CE '. It did everything so well, but it wasn't revolutionary! it was a 10 out of 10 experience for me, but in the world of gaming, it's not ( as it should be )!
That's wat happened, reviewers enjoy games like a 10/10 experience, and they judge it that way ... without thinking if there's more behind that experience! But in gamespots case, they can't give MGS V and GTA V a 9.9 or 9.8 ... with there stupid review system... we'll never now if they were REAL 10's! The scoringsystem here invites the reviewer to give a ten quicker then before! Let me explain: Halo 3, world in conflict, SSBB, crysis, super mario galaxy, the orange box ... all 9.5! (ironicly, i thought back then that gamespot was giving away to much high scores :roll:) But if you then play one game that is a little bit better, A reviewer is forced to give a ten, there's no way out! Gamespot couldn't give al games a 9.5 here! so they have to give more ... that is indirecly lowering you're standards IMO.
But for me a 10 is a game that gives you a 10/10 experience in a perfect way, and more!
