Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?
That pic makes me lol and at the same time thankful that I leveled BLM well before ToAU. :3
Then what were the RNGs there for
I always felt like no one understood the point of RNG when they asked me to pull. RNGs don't use low delay weapons, it's generally faster to melee pull, let alone Provoke or Dia. It depends on the rating system aswell. Take IGN for instance, they just rated Skyrim as 9.5/10. They also rated COD3 9.4, black Ops 8.5, Halo Reach 9.5, they are far too generous with their ratings to be taken seriously. Also, to rate in 0.1s is ridiculous.
Or those games could all be good?
Is it 4pm Eastern yet?
I'm tired =( wasnt there an issue a year or so back, when someone lost their job for rating a highly anticipated game as bad (and being truthful), and then it showed that some game companies where paying for good reviews?

Bahamut.Raenryong said: » Or those games could all be good? They admitted to Skyrim being buggy in places, and the bugs were exploration related, like mammoths falling out the sky and being able to fall down mountains without using pathways. I'm sorry but no game that has those kind of bugs deserves over 9/10. Although, if an exception was to be made, then Skyrim would be the one because it does look incredible. Call of duty, 9.4, are they having a laugh. Good game? Yes. Worthy of 9.4/10? Not a hope in hell. Halo Reach, brilliant. I'm a huge Halo fan, but I don't think it deserves a 9.5/10. To rate a game anything over 9/10 is to say it's close to perfection.

To rate a game anything over 9/10 is to say it's close to perfection. All reviews are subjective obviously. Top-end heavy reviewing is done mainly for the psychological effect; if you were to rebalance things such that 50% was actually the mean average, people would stop buying the lower games. It's silly, but it also makes sense at the same time.
It wouldn't surprise me if there were under the table deals from publishers and game reviewers to put things under the light they want it to be for the sake of sales more so than what it actually deserves from a general public perspective.
Quote: Despite IGN scoring God Hand a poor 3.0 out of 10 during its original release, the website ranked the game at #100 for their "Top 100 PlayStation 2 Games" list in 2010. It should be noted that the person at IGN who reviewed God Hand, Chris Roper, admitted on his blog that he based his entire review on playing only 1 level of the game, after seeing fan backlash regarding his review.

I miss the old school game reviews from Computer video games magazine and the like with a 5 star rating system.

There's no such thing as a perfect video game in a world where there's no such thing as a perfect anything. A 10/10 for a game would mean it's the best games have to offer at the time. Perfect video game:
Pong Cerberus.Kalyna said: » Perfect video game: Pong There were no imperfections in Pong. That would mean yes, it is the perfect game. Does that make it a 10/10? Not even close. Game ratings are very subjective depending on the person who is doing the review, while one person could say it's the best game on the universe... the other person could say that's it's the worst stinking pile of ***he has ever played.
Getting to the point, the reviews and ratings should all be dependent on the actual players and not some snot nosed idiot who doesn't know jack ***about video games. If anything, faults in a game given they're not defeating the purpose of playing, let alone enjoying the game bring about their own charm or sense of appreciation and respect for the game as a whole.
Even if things were fixed or patched up, it may just be in a sense too perfect. I hope this isn't crazy talk to some of you. I'd say Pong is a 10/10
cuz it sure kept me busy when I was a kid.. for hours and hours. Same with Pac Man and all those old arcade games. ^(@Arte)Completely agree. To a point.
Some glitchiness in a game is a sort of metagame fun. Take Fallout for example. Loads of bugs, but that added a lot of fun to it as well. Then there's game-breaking bugs, which suck. Game froze after a certain boss in FF9, wasn't able to finish it until about two years ago. Fenrir.Enternius said: » ^(@Arte)Completely agree. To a point.

I exited the water plant thingy in Megaton and the sheriff just dropped down from the sky and died >_> It was kinda hilarious but still a bit annoying.

This is assuming of course that the person or team doing the review are being subjective regarding the elements on which the games are rated and not rating on what they like and do not like.
