Should You Come Out Of The Gaming Closet On A First Date?
14 hours 2 mins ago
Still, nice to hear.
And yet, I can still see this getting perfect tens anyways.
As we should know, wait til the game is released to say if its good.
A perfect 10 is a great sign for a PS3 exclusive. Don't look so unkindly on it, eh?
As a young adult, facing different fees and expenses, and still wanting entertainment at a point, I rely on reviews somewhat to give me a vague idea on how polished and presented a game will be, before I purchase it. While the reviews are not the definitive desicionmaker for me, I do hold them with some importance, as the experience and enjoyment from others may be similar to what ill enjoy, and thus from such reviews, I know that the purchase will be a good and smart one.
And I don't know where you get off saying "scores for games that do not deserve it", Since you have neither played the game, nor have the ability to make smart and justified conclusions. Stick to your emotion posts, you clearly lack the integrity and prowess to provide intellectual conversation beyond that.
Secondly I don't base my choice of games off pro reviews cause tbh they're so full of bias its not even funny, I base it all on user reviews the one that really matters. Too many times i've seen unjustified reviews by these "professionals" to make me hate them.
If you like them fine, great whatever floats your boat. But I do not at all base any game decisions off of reviews. I look at user reviews for backup, i'll either rent a game if im unsure or buy it knowing I liked the demo that was released. Thats how Im able to make such choices. Its obviously down to opinion, that much is true, but im just tired of these pro reviews.
Now im not saying LBP isn't a great game at all, cause its not out yet, but I am willing to say I do not think any game deserves a 10 rating. I mean honestly back in the day games barely even got 9.5+ ratings, now in this day and age i've seen multiple games get 10/10 that some do not deserve at all. I mean honestly, have the rating system in this generation become flawed and just throwing out 10s for any type of game. Its ridiculous.
I don't know why you seem to think that pro-reviewers are "throwing out 10s" all the time, or why you think there is so much bias in the pro-review industry to make them all hateable. Even when there are a few pro-reviewers who are biased, they get swallowed up in the average scores on Gamesrankings or Metacritic. It's not like every pro-reviewer is out to trick gamers. On a whole, games usually get the review scores they deserve. Though I don't know of anyone who uses review scores as anything more than a general guideline on how good/bad a game is anyway.
But games like God of War, Tekken, SC, SF....etc I've all played before and rarely need to look at the score to determine whether its a buy or not. I rent games to base that off if I need to or if I played the demo version know its a great game to get like The Force Unleashed. I played the demo and loved it, so I didn't need to know anything else about the game. It was an easy decision.
Reviews aren't written for fans in the first place. They are written to give the general gaming population a basic idea on a game's strong and weak points. They're not only writing for fans, because fans aren't the only people who buy games from a series.
And a score of "10" in most cases does not mean the game is perfect. It means the overall polish, presentation package of the game is at such a high level and is well worthy of purchase.
But what your saying is clearly unjustified.
Maybe it will deserve it. Maybe this is the game that will propell you into a different mindset about gaming. This could become your favourite game ever. Your being preemptive and irrational. Thats why people are pulling you up.
people shouldn't buy a rated 10 game thinking is perfect
10/10 doesn't mean a game is perfect, because that's just not possible. It only means that it does everything right.
MGS4 deserved a 10 out of 10 because nearly every aspect of the game was done extraordinarily well.
I personally wouldn't give GTA:IV a 10/10, but I can see how that's reasonable, because it, too, did nearly everything well. Missing many features from GTA:SA was my only problem with it, but it certainly did many things well, IMO.
This game quite possibly deserves a 10/10. We'll just have to wait and see.
I'm very excited for this game! I think it's going to be great.
Nothing is perfect, perfection is a perception. I doubt these people truly believe that this game was perfect, but actually believe that this game is shining example of its genre.
