Gamespots new more generous rating system to give out the first AAAA in 6 years?

Seeing as the old system's 9.8, 9.9would now = 10?

I put MGS4, and Bioshock as seperate because they are being hyped the most (other than Halo). And I know gears is not exclusive.

Also, put if you think that Corruption Mario galaxy or -------------------------Any other Nintendo exclusive will make AAAA

:oops:MY BAD, I FORGOT ABOUT NINTENDO, IM NOT TRYING TO SNUB THEM, AND IT WON'T LET ME EDIT THE POLE... MY BAD, AND I OWN A Wii TOO. :oops:

Also, if you now look at the GS rating system... 10/10 is PRIME, not PERFECT, but prime... LASTLY, I say the new rating system is more generous because wouldn't a 9.8=10 and 9.3=9.5 and so on...
______________________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________

How wrong I was... And so were 222 other voters for Bioshock. I thought for sure AAA, 9.5. And kinda hoped for AAAA. But now I see how gamespot is THE hardest rater. Especially Jeff.

Now they just say 'Oh that game is an 8.5' with no reason to back it up, like the formula they used before... Loved it!

I don't think we'll see a 10, I think that even if the game is great, there is no perfect game, even OOT had it's faults, although they were VERY minor, it was not really perfect.

where's the neither option. a game can be great, but it cannot be the "best." Mainly because one person's definition of "best" may not be the same as anothers.

i dont foresee any of those games getting a perfect AAAA rating.... its just too tough and gamespot is too stingy... if any of those games has a chance its BioShock or Mass Effect b/c i think they will be the most original/polished

There's no reason to believe that a game that would before equal a 9.6 would now be worthy of a 10.

Also, games will obviosuly not be scored in the old system and then "converted" into the new system. It will just be scored, that's it.

It is not easier to score a 10

Metroid Prime will get it. Its the first Wii game to have really good, realistic graphics, large levels, good framerate and, above all, a proven control scheme that is superior over its console predecessor.

I think Bioshock [potentially] could score that high- and I'm talking about the PC version and Xbox 360 version.

only 9.75+ from the old system would be considered a 10 now, but bioshock has the best chance closely followed by crysis imo.

Maybe Galaxy or MP3, but I doubt any of those games including the ones I mentioned will get above 9.5. Stupid new rating system.

One thing is certain, should a game hit AAAA it will be a feeding frenzy here in SW. Fanboys will rip the game apart and expose every possible weakpoint.

It could be entertaining!

game spot i think does not like nintendo stlye of game play . they always give it geniraly lower score then everyone els even other web site . they seems so desprate to keep zeldas score under 9 . that game was a amazing one of the best games i ever played . he says this like " oh its nice but they have not updated the game play" or " the graphics are not great" " the wii controlls are tacked on" the wii controlls work great with this game. its a huge game that looks great better then pretty much every xbox game i can think of . why change the game play? people love it the way it is you would make ur fans so mad if u changed it to much. they gave red steel 5.5 yes it was rushed and needs a bit more work but the games really fun.

Crysis will be great but I like UT3 better after the gears of war slip up I know epic will come correct even the ps3 version looks great and has k/bam support. However MGS4 has it all story,great graphics,best boss fights,gameplay,audio and now online also.

DivergeUnify

Why does Galaxy have one?

Maybe because Galaxy has changed a lot from the previous two 3D games. Anyone who remembers playing Zelda or Super Mario 64 would agree that those two games were extremely innovative and changed platformers and action adventure games for the good. Personally I disliked Super Mario Sunshine because it played a lot like SM64 in certain ways, but the cleaning thing was annoying and overall the game was pretty boring. The exact opposite can be said for the first time I picked up and played and still do play Super Mario 64. The game was fresh, original, somewhat challengingand loads of fun. Sure the gameplay is pretty generic by today's standards but I still love that game because it is fun. Galaxy I am hoping is going to be much like that experience, something new and promising instead of a rehashing like what happened with Sunshine. The same logic I would also apply to the Metroid Prime series, the first game was great but lacked a story development method that was not tedious, because the scanning sucked imo. Echoes changed that and it was more story driven and the gameplay was still just as good, with some slight tweaks and improvements. So now Corruption is going to play differently, hopefully on a much faster pace then the previous two games and will still have a proper story that is driven the way games should have.

Bioshock has the most chance of getting a 10, which I heard is no longer "perfect", but is now "prime".

Just because it's says perfect at the bottom of a 10 doesn't make it true, it could of just as well said Excellent, it means excatly the same thing. The rating system is 1-10, 1 being the worse, 10 being the best. Stop jumping on the, it can't be perfect bandwagon.

If this was implemented last year. Gears of War would have gotten a 9.5. I don't think any game will be 9.8+, so its not more likely at all.
9.6-9.7 would round down to 9.5..not up to 10.
Based on over-all experience, GoWIII or Metal Gear Solid 4.

If there's one game this year that has a chance at it, it's Mario Galaxy, although a 9.5 seems more likely. As amazing as Mass Effect will be, I don't see GS giving it a 10, even with the new rating system.

Okay, well Crysis is far from "Prime". It doesn't do a lot for the genre, although it will be a solid game.

Gamespots new nore generous rating system to give out the first AAAA in 6 years?

Seeing as the old system's9.6, 9.7, 9.8, 9.9would now = 10?

I put MGS4, and Bioshock as seperate because they are being hyped the most (other than Halo). And I know gears is not exclusive.

Also, put if you think that Corruption Mario galaxy or -------------------------Any other Nintendo exclusive will make AAAA

:oops:MY BAD, I FORGOT ABOUT NINTENDO, IM NOT TRYING TO SNUB THEM, AND IT WON'T LET ME EDIT THE POLE... MY BAD, AND I OWN A Wii TOO. :oops:

hellfire9988
As much as I can't wait for Crysis, I think Bioshock will take top honors this year. So I vote Bioshock
