Got a 8.0 on Gamespot.

In any case, I can't fully trust any gaming website that continue to give utter crap like Call of Duty good scores. That includes IGN.

Hate reviewers that give low scores to great games just for hits.

Riiight. God forbid that a reviewer has a different opinion that yours. In this case, they actually have a basis for their opinion, where as you don't, given that they have played the game.

Riiiight and you do realise there are sites that do give games bad scores for hits. No **** everyone has their own opinions but site hits, funding from a company & being a fanboy of one console has been much more prevalent nowadays.

Do you have any proof of this? Any at all? Or is it just the usual conspiracy theory at work?
 
Edge gave it 10... But I think I'll wait to read what you guys think. It'll have to be absolutely phenomenal to get me to pay PS3 prices for it!

If you think gaming journalism today being corrupt is farfetched I guess you think politicians and high ranking officials don't take payoffs too, just conspiracy theories huh. There's plenty of proof out there, I'm just not wasting my time finding it for you.

Right. Then you'll have to excuse me for not taking you serious in any way what so ever.
 
I don't care much about numbers.
I care about what they write about the game, what their rating reasons are, what the good and what the bad aspects of the game are, how they felt during playing, what makes the game playworthy or respectively not, etc.

Good and bad reviews are both needed, not everybody likes the same.
 
The perfect game as many other things on life does not exist, any score such us 100 should be double checked, for sure Last of Us will be brilliant but it has to have some flaws whether single or multiplayer.

I will judge by myself in a few days though.

10/10 is not necessarily 100%, it's 95-100%.
If they give decimal scores...

Although it doesn't really matter. :P
 
Samus
That's....some interesting logic. 10/10 in math terms is 100%. 9.5/10 would be 95%.

They give half points?

I don't know, ps3 magazines here don't use this system.



Is it half points of even thenths? If only half points then it's still 97.5-100%. Not that it would matter...
 
Samus
I don't know if they give half/decimal points but if they don't 10/10 is still 100%.

It's not about strict mathematical rules.

How would you rate a 98% game in that /10 system?
See the /10 numbers as rounded scores.

9/10. If it's not good enough to rate 100% it's not good enough for a 10 either, so it's a 9 without decimals. When you're rating how good something up it doesn't make sense to round up.

That's why /10 or even /5 rankings without decimals are pretty stupid IMO, they're not clear enough.

And I disagree with this.

Further discussion won't help, so...

Sometimes not, but sometimes percentages are too precise. It's ridiculous if people think one game is definitely better than another just because it got rated 1-2% higher.
 
Well no, I only ever take ratings/reviews as a rough guidline anyway, as long as most reviews rank a game above 7-7.5 I'll take a closer look at it. I still may not be interested in it though, like with this.

Moving on from the points discussion it's probably just me but I never really like zombie games because the AI/game mechanics always feel like they're cheating me. When it's human AI you know what they're going to do, they can move, run and shoot you etc, they're humans. When it's zombie or AI they can be sneaky, unhuman and frankly annoying with their slithering across the floor, frenzied attacks and so on.

I'll probably watch some gameplay footage of the first 20 minutes or something to see how this really plays and then maybe buy it. Still not sold right now. Like I say, probably just me though.
