Why the PC will never get a game with a 10

i dont think the PC will ever get a game with a 10 rating because of the hardware variables. For console the power is always the same thsu performance in each game the same for each unit. for pc theres the graphics card, ram, CPU, and much more. this can make or break the experience fo gamers thus losing it score. like crysis. its beautiful but then it got a dismerit for being too beautiful thus needing a better rig to play it.

this is my view of it. feel free to contradic me if you have a good arguement against me or feel free to add!

I do not think there is any game that deserves a perfect score.

i never cared about reviews and scores. If you cant handle crysis than its your bad luck.

It is because PC games have a smaller budget, and therefore cannot bribe gaming sites.

Honostly, the day GTA got a 10/10 is the day reviews officially became redundant.

Well,outside gamespot,a lot of PC games got 10´s,so...

10/10 doesn't mean a game is perfect firstly. biggest_loser

No reviewer would ever give any game a perfect 10, unless he was an idiot. Perfection by its very definition is unachievable. That's why people who post user reviews like "OMG, bestest gamez eva, teh grafix are fentastic! 100 out of 10" aren't headhunted by gaming magazines.

You will sometimes see listed as a bad point in a review "doesn't run too well on low end systems". This is a note to the buyer and shouldn't effect the end score.

It would be like someone reviewing a fashion line and saying "the clothes are gorgeous, but they didn't look so good when I put them on my fat mother".

I think it has more to do with that a console game only has to compete with other games on that console, while PC games have to compete with a 20 year old library because backwards compatability between operating systems is usually very good.

Why does it matter if the PC gets a 10 or not?

It doesn't but it does sting that some pretty sketchy titles get a 10 and a PC title never has.

something you need to know about pc gamers, they dont give a damn about scores. Unlike console gamers its all they fight about.

Bingo. Unlike console gamers, if there's something we don't like about the game, we look for mods. :)

No game is worth 10/10

10 isnt perfect, its prime.

C'mon, a 10 doesn't mean "Perfection by definition impossible to attain". At least I've never stumbled upon that criteria. That would just be silly and would immediately render the scale a 1-9,5.

Why does it matter if a game receives a perfect score?As long as we enjoy it,who gives a damn about grades and such.I mean we are all huge fans of Big Rigs,right?

10 means perfect = no room for improvement. There is no such game and there will never be one.

Also hardware has nothing to do with games, the console version of games doesn't score higher because of the PC hardware complexity, they do so because console reviewers looks at different things when they review a console game, hype, extremely easy to play but with lots of action and again hype, because there's no way a reviewer can five a game from some company they like a bad score even if the game is crap.

Pretty much, yeah! :)

Yeah, 100% means 95% in reality :roll:

pc community tends to have higher standards. if gears of war was originally released on pc, would it get 9,6? no it wouldnt, cos its pretty shallow. hl2, which is way better only got 9.2, which imo is accurate, games get rated so unevenly i think.

i think portal is the closest to a perfect game that i have played, it did what it meant to do perfectly. puzzles are the right difficulty, graphics are great, humour is top notch, and its not too long. the perfect game because it did what it was supposed to. perfect doesnt necessarily mean best if you take it in this context.

Imo only Starcraft and Crysis deserve a perfect 10, and I'd also argue about giving Crysis a 10 because of the aliens. It's not a score many games can achieve, it means that the game is flawless in every aspect.

Console games can achieve a 10 because they have much lower standards compared to PC games.

No game is truly perfect, so I don't think any game should ever get a 10.Deadly_Fatalis

AGREED.

3 Simple Steps :

- Make your own gaming website. Give it a good name like "Lamespot".

- Review a PC Game e.g. Doom - Wolfenstein 3D

- Rate it 10/10 or 11/10 if you like.

In the end.. Lamespot is history.
