PC games getting 9/9.5 rating means its 10 according to gamespot ?

Never seen any PC games getting 10 on gamespot but there are tons of awesome PC games with 9 to 9.5 score (much superior to 10 winning MGS 4,GTA 4). Does it mean PC games getting 9/9.5 is actually 10 according to gamespot ?

No.It means it got a 9 or 9.5.

A game that gets a 9.5, is a 9.5.

A game that gets a 10, is a 10.freedomfreak

I'll tell you a secret. Those mediocre consoles are secretly awesome.

Because the reviewer didn't thought it deserved the 10, as easy as that.

No.It means it got a 9 or 9.5.

This. At the end of the day it's an opinion, not favouritism.

the reviewer wanted to give a 10, how hard is that to understand :?

scores(in every category games, movies, etc) are based more on opionos.

A 9.5 on the PC is a 13 on the HD consoles, a 19 on the Wii, a 23 on the PSP and a 29 on the DS. That's how the whole different standards thing works.

A 10 compared to what?

Here's the thing.

Games are reviewed for the system and genre they're in. Scores for one game aren't necessarily meant to be directly compared to scores of another, especially for games of different systems and genres. It does however give a general idea of whether a game is good, average, bad or excellent.

I would have thought people knew this as it's really common sense but with common sense where would we be? Not in System Wars that's for sure.

Gamespot themselves confirmed higher standards on pc ages ago.

GS stated PC has higher standards several times.

Gamespot holds PC games to a higher standard than console games. I though this was a known fact by now.

The three above me, that was stated years ago, by one reviewer, for a multiplat game. That has nothing to do with any other reviewers or the site itself.

The argument itself is a pretty bad one, considering PC exclusives can only be judged among other PC exclusives. Meaning the same standards.

No.It means it got a 9 or 9.5.

9.0 and 9.5 are what they are, they aren't 10's. IF they thought they were a 1o wouldn't they have given it to them? I mean reallyThe_Last_Ride

1.0=1.0

1.5=1.5

2.0=2.0

2.5=2.5

3.0=3.0

3.5=3.5

4.0=4.0

4.5=4.5

5.0=5.0

5.5=5.5

6.0=6.0

6.5=6.5

7.0=7.0

7.5=7.5

8.0=8.0

8.5=8.5

9.0=9.0

9.5=9.5

10=10

Not that hard, dude.

If they thought a game was a 10, they would have given it a 10.

Come on dude. If you're gonna try to make this asinine argument, at least reference when Kevin VanOrd (I think it was him) said something about PC games having higher standards. That wouldn't make your logic valid, but at least it'd be something.

Better than, "there aren't any 10s, so that means 9s are 10s, right?"

WoW was the last PC Exclusive GotY.

The "PC has higher standards" is just a myth made up by hermits.

A slight graphics or performance difference shouldn't have a significant change to a game's score.

from "1280x720, 25-30fps, low settings" to "2560x1440, 60fps, max settings" is not slightdifference in graphics and performance, the right word here is chaoticdifference.

[QUOTE="Venom_Raptor"]

[QUOTE="lightleggy"] He didnt phrased his question properly. He was talking about adjusting the scores to console's criteria. Consoles have lower standards, therefore a PC game that scores a 9.5 means it's better than a game that scored 10 on consoles.MK-Professor

Depends on the game. I game on an almost 4 year old laptop, and it plays most multiplats at graphics levels that look better than the console versions, and maintains higher framerates. I'm not playing most games maxed out, but you don't need to max them out to make them look better than the consoles. They're just too damn old. Sony and Microsoft have been lazy as hell and let this generation of consoles drag on longer than any previous one. Combine that with the fact that on the other end of the spectrum, PC hardware has been advancing faster than ever before during this time, and it's just made the gap in raw power huge. People with "top of the line" PCs right now are barely using their power. If they are, it's because they're pushing super HD resolutions, like 1440p or 1600p, or going beyond 60 fps with 120hz monitors, or applying extremely high end post process anti-aliasing and stuff like that. A smartly built mid-range computer will run just about any game available right now at max settings, if your okay with 1080p, <8xAA and 40-60 fps. And I'm pretty sure all but the most dedicated enthusiast is fine with that.
