How is it possible for something to get a 10/10...

How is it possible for something to get a 10/10, like what would be the point of making games after that if objective perfection has been achieved?
Do gaming websites exist that treat their scoring system properly, like the majority of games get a 5/10?

The only ten out of ten game ever made was metroid prime

You should give one perfect rating per every ten years of your life

Really, theres really nothing that can be improved with Metroid Prime, even adding any kind of new content (Like a new mission) or making it looking better, would make the game worse?

> what would be the point of making games after that if objective perfection has been achieved
That doesn't make any sense. Games are finite entertainment, even if they're perfect you can only enjoy them for a limited period of time. Therefore you need more games.

It wouldn't be perfect if its only enjoyable for a limited time.

Are you retarded?

The rating system is not absolute, but relative

Desperately needs an elevator connecting Phendrana to Tallon Overworld.

10/10 doesnt mean perfection in terms of review as there are no objective perfection within the world of arts. It mostly means the game achieves something only a select few can for it's time and context. Take a 10/10 like Ocarina of time, it isn't by todays standard, but look back to 1998 and holy fuck the game is at least 10 years ahead of it's time (if not more) soundtrack is insane, dungeons are amazing, story is charming, the graphics are superb, controls are tight and set the standard for the industry. That's enough good to outweigh the bad and be considered a 10/10

That's impossible. You can't have a score system where one of the scores is impossible to get.

10 is not perfection, it simply denotes a game as as good as it can possibly get.
and the majority of games getting a 5 would be retarded, because most of them are effortless trash not worth grading.

This are the threads that really make me believe autism is a serious condition. It must suck to not be the 1% of autists who are actually productive.

I've always viewed 10s in game rating systems to represent how well the game is executed considering the mechanics it sets as the main gameplay hook and how it stands within its genre at the time of release. Obviously a lot of other elements are factored in as well, but a 10 being a perfect game is nonsensical.

10/10 is not perfect. There’s never going to be a perfect game. It just means 10 is the max criteria and it has met it.

Brainlet logic,
> You cant have a 10 because nothing is perfect
Then nothing can be a 9.9 because nothing is too close to being percfect.
Nothing can be a 9, because how it will be a perfect nine and no a 8.99999 or a 9.0001?
And so.

>variety
lol, same meta picks and going outside meta will lose you the game because certain heroes are better than others
>depth
depth of a puddle, sure. 5 man ult wipe enemy team, they do the same, back and forth

it's like the humble womyn, womyn that are objectively an 8-9/10 are 10/10's for some men because of personal preference

I ignore scores for reviews, just read what they actually write nigga

Agreed. OP is definitely a person whose friends are snickering when he spouts his bullshit in a serious manner.

>a journalist's 10/10 verdict implies what *I* believe it should imply
It seems this line of thinking could introduce some idiosyncrasies user

Video games are not objective statements of quality, but subjective opinions expressing how well the product scored against their personal rubric of quality. When someone says "this game is a 10/10" it doesn't mean that the game is the best game ever made and it is absolutely perfect, in the same way that you getting a 100% on your english essay isn't a statement that it is the single greatest, most perfect piece of literature ever written- all it means is that it checked every box in the teachers rubric.

A 10/10 does not mean the game is flawless.

It means that the game is so good that what flaws it may have don't actually impact the experience in a negative way.
Personally the only 10/10s I can think of are Tetris Effect (well, almost every version of tetrist) and Portal 1&2

Y'know, ignorance is bliss. Probably sucks worse the other way around.

Who cares? Reviews and scores are absolutely useless.
>objective perfection
kek

10/10 doesn't mean without a single flaw you fucking retard. It just means really really really really fucking good. You braindead mongoloids say this shit all the time.

10/10 doesn't mean it's perfect, it's a perfect score. Some of you people are autstic I swear.

If it's better than really really really really fucking good would it be an 11/10?

By all means, 11/10 signifies that it's something that's so highly regarded that it transcends the boundaries it's being rated with, which would mean that it was without a single flaw. That's more like what retards here claim 10/10 is.
This.

pretty sure this site gave Alien isolation a 5.9 so yeah reviews are bullshit and contrived

What do you propose the highest rating should be then, 9/10? And then if something comes long that's better you give it a 9.5, then a 9.75, 9.99, 9.99999999999 and so on?

If the game employed 12v12 or 16v16 I would care less about the game's balance or lack thereof.

The highest rating should be 10 but nothing would ever be a 10 because perfection is something you strive for but never actually achieve, that's how things advance.
If it was just "goodness points" then it wouldn't be a fraction.

You're either retarded or being deliberately obtuse. A game getting a 10/10 doesn't mean that suddenly the entire medium has been perfected. It just means that the specific game in question, in the opinion of the person reviewing, perfected the mechanics and themes it set out to do. All reviews with number scores are meaningless anyway and you and this thread are retarded.

I would suggest an automated system that calculates the average of all review scores combined and then retroactively lower/raise those scores. Like for example if suddenly 95% of all scores are at least a 7, lower all 7 to a 5 since its the new average.

>objective perfection has been achieved?
Reviews are not meant to be objective dummy
>scoring system properly, like the majority of games get a 5/10?
1. Websites don't review every game ever made dummy
2. even if they did, why would the average be 5? If you grow up in an american town where all women are fat and middle aged, does that mean half of them suddenly become "objectively attractive"? No it doesn't retard.

>what would be the point of making games after that if objective perfection has been achieved?
Why not? Wouldn't two perfect games be better than one perfect game?

10/10 doesnt mean perfect. its not a math quiz.

combat is an autopilot slog and the game is full of it.

>10
Notable game, will be remembered as a classic
>9
great, among the best in its genre
>8
good but not particularly impressive
>7
ok
>6
not worth playing
>5 and below
unplayable

sup IGN

That's fucking retarded. If someone plays a game that they think is the best ever with no negatives they shouldn't have to arbitrarily deduct 1 point.
What about sites that only use 1-5? Is the best possible game an "8" then?

>People unironically think this.

Yikes.

How absolutely fucking retarded must your american mutt brain be to think that 10/10 is a perfect score?

It just means the best possible score that the score system uses
