I could see a perfect 10 Zelda or Mario game. Possibly Metroid. It just depends if they do it right. If they gave a game like Bayonetta a 10, there could actually be 2 or 3 10's on the Wii-U...and we should see some 10's on other platforms. Or it could just be a case of diverging review standards - and we won't see another 10 this gen. Which would make the Bayo 2 10/10 seem completely random.
That being said, Bayonetta 2 will probably go down as the worst "10" given to a game ever. Worse than GTA IV. Worse than MGS V. The first game was a 6.5/10 to me - so I have strong doubts about the reviews in this case. Polishing a 6.5 game can't possibly yield a 10/10 game.
You're a visitor from the future I see. Tell me more about the world of tomorrow.
How is Bayo2's ten random? Lots of review sites gave it a perfect or near perfect score with low scores being in the minority. Clearly gamespot is not alone in thinking BAYO2 is a little slice of gaming heaven, one for the ages, a genre defining gem that has a good chance of standing the test of time.
And to me a TEN signifies just that...a game that will not be soon forgotten.
You're also the minority on thinking the first BAYO sucked, and not liking MGS4 or GTAIV. The latter of which was a god damn masterpiece and the best MGS game to date.
The thread topic is asking us to speculate about the future dumbass. I merely responded with my guess as to future perfect scores.
As far as GTA IV and MGS4, many people consider them over-rated and unworthy of 10/10 considering how few 10's Gamespot gives out. Not just me. I didn't say they "sucked", they are great games. Just that looking back they probably didn't deserve 10/10 at the time of their reviews. Or if they did deserve 10/10, then as the gen went on at least a dozen other games should have also gotten 10/10 on that same scale. Seriously, does it make sense that GTA IV got a 10/10 but GTA V got a 9/10 or Last of Us got an 8/10? It's just looks quite random at this point where a "perfect" score might pop out.
Honestly I don't think GTAV or TLOU are worthy of 10's. Both games had really annoying things about them that, at the core, made me really glad when they were finished and I could move on to other games. Not even at launch could those games fool me into thinking they deserved a ten.
MGS4 on the other hand, worth the ten, and still worth it. To get a TEN a game needs to nearly perfect it's genre. Lots of great games got 9's but didn't perfect their genres. Bioshock Infinite for example...incredible game...not worth a ten.
