@Cloud39472 I believe a 10/10 can mean whatever it wants when a user wants to review it because it is a complete opinion, and if someone wants to say it's a perfect game, they are free to. That being said, I feel if your a person creating a review for a game (i.e IGN) a 10/10 should basically mean that a game is basically without error and that all can enjoy. Your reviewing the game as a way to inform the masses of a game before they buy it, giving the good and the bad about the game, without bias. If you rate a game 10/10, to me it basically dictates that basically everyone is able to find enjoyment in this game (at least players who like the type of genre the game is) and will like it. The 10/10 score doesn't leave room for error as a 9/10 does.
A 9/10 means that the game is a fantastic one but has some problems that can detour or ruin the experience for some. In a sense a 9/10 is flexible because to some it could be a 10 while for some it could be a 8/10 or less. An example being final fantasy 7 remake where the gameplay story and everything is superb, but fans of the original game may find issues with some of the parts of the story or not like the gameplay, preferring that ofthe original.
Any game that is a 5/10 or below is generally going to be a pretty poor game hence why most of the time something in the range of 7-9/10 in review scores is where people are looking at. If you suddenly label a game as 10 in automatically will make many assume that that is a really fantastic game which excels in all areas with barely any mistakes or problems and barely any user can find fault with this, and that just isn't possible. Again this is my own opinion and i mean this mostly about reviewers like IGN (sorry if this isn't making much sense, i'm ok with trying to better explain it if you want me to).
As a game reviewer you can't review a game 10/10 because that would mean that there is barely anyone (at least to me) that would find much fault in this game. To review a game you would have to see why it would be liked and why it wouldn't, and make a decision. A game like this where you have many hating on it (exempting those who just complain about SJWs and LGBTQ+ issues without actually giving examples of where those problems arise, and the actual bigots) because of bad storytelling makes it seem to me that most reviewers were biased.
Whoever talked about the cultured vultures review, I thank you for bringing it to light. For me it really encapsulates the way I feel about the game. It's a good game but not a great game for me if i take out the story part of things. Very great game in terms of graphics and the gameplay is fun for awhile until it gets repetitive. Love the easter eggs though.
Sadly the purpose of me playing the game in the first place was the story. I would have thought the game would be one that continues addressing the ambiguous ending of the first one, but for me at least, it goes on a whole different tangent. Then the longer I went playing the more I kind of didn't want to play the game because I had seen the spoilers but wanted to experience it myself. The amount of killing you do to dogs and humans alike just really gets to the point where you can't be asked anymore to care and just continue doing it so you can reach the end. Oh what an end it was.
I had to turn of my PS4 and go outside to gaze at the stars, pondering the meaning of my life and why I do the things I do after playing this game. Ultimately the game is the same score for me as it was for you @Grindagger. They can all say its 10/10 but to me 10/10 means that a game would literally have to be a game where it had so little in problems, that even the problems weren't problems. Even RDR2, as fantastic as it was isn't even a 10, and its the closest I would ever rate a game to a 10 (it's like a 9.4 for me)
