Do "Perfect" Games Exist For You?

[Koh]

Just to be clear, I don't disregard the rest of the posts or discredit entire posts (unless their foundation is based on one thing). I only quoted the portions of a post I disagreed with and gave reasons why. I've already said that I agree that the scores alone are meaningless, lol.

But the question I raise is...even if they don't view 10/10 as saying the game is perfect, if they acknowledge that it indeed has problems that couldn't just be overlooked, because they're aware it could be an issue for other types of players interested in the genre, then why IS it still 10/10? Using your same reasoning from before, if they got 10/10, telling them they still had certain problems under that rating won't do much of anything either, because they already received the maximum score from that person despite the fact the problems exist. What's the point of improving if they're maximizing scores already? Which is probably the mentality many games adopt anyway, lol. "Why fix what isn't broken, but slightly scratched."

One of the things that bugs me is when people reference the big gaming site ratings as to how good or bad a game is. Like how someone who wants to tell you how good a game is, they're like "Oh it got a 10/10 on IGN!" or "It's got a 99 on Metacritic!", and it's like so what, that doesn't tell me anything about what the game does right or wrong.

I sort of prefer the ProJared style approach to this conundrum. He gives all the details on something, good and bad, and after all is said and done, he gives a score, then recaps the highlights of the good and bad.
