is a perfect 10 a thing of the past on gamespot?

zelda tp, mp3, and bioshock fell short. gears and oblivion did too. just when i thought halo3 would nail the perfect score, a 9.5 pops up. so maybe crysis, mgs4, ssbb, mario galaxy, etc, will get the perfect 10 but i doubt it. however the 4 games that have got the perfect score besides zelda, were shockers to me. thps3 a 10? uhh what? so who knows will some blockbuster hit it or some sleeper title? or will we ever see the 10 happen again?

Halo3 doesnt deserve 10 (the original did Halo CE) but this one is a 9-9.5. Great game non the less..

HL2 (content)

Unreal (dependant on SP)

Mass Effect (Dependant on bugs)

have IMO the best chance of getting a 10.

I think 1 of them if not more will... They are gonna be amazing.

Since Halo 3 didn't get it, I doubt any game will this year. Its SP was amazing and it has so much content that it will keep gamers busy for years. Mass Effect could get it, but it is going to have be nearly flawless on the SP front since it doesn't have a MP. People who are saying HL2: OB and UT3 are kidding themselves.OB will probably get points taken away for making gamers buy two games that are already out, not to mentionthey are all still using a 3 year old engine (before you say you getpurchase them separate, then you would agree on grading them separate right?)and UT3 is all about the MP, not enough about the SP. I expect both of those games to get no better than an 8.5 or 9.0.

I guess it will depend on the reviewer and who knows, a few more 9.5s could slip through this year, but I doubt anything gets a 10 now or in the near future.

Halo 3 probably would if it looked like Killzone 2 on top of everything.tomarlyn

to get a 10 games will have to have 4 player coop, ground breaking single player and amazing multiplayer with ALOT of features....then the game hasCHANCES of getting 10 here at gamespot :D

i dont see any game coming out this or next year that will get a full 10

If you want perfect tens then I suggest you visit 1 up ;)

I'm not sure a perfect game exists anyway.

MGS4 is my bet...

A game would have to truly be revolutionary and blow them away for it to be a 10

After seeing a Video for a supposely ''revolutionary'' FPS with cross-playing (sound like cross-dressing). I still thing IMO that MGS4 is more revolutionary than this. And I'll bet it will score more overall. Getting a 10 is not only by being revolutionary. You have to have the whole package (grphix, sound, gameplay, etc..). kentaro22

[QUOTE="11Marcel"]If what you describe is revolutionary then crysis is re-inventing the concept of gaming.kentaro22

I agree with other posts above that if any game this year can get a 10, it has to be Mass Effect. And as great as I think Halo 3 is, I think it is kind of sad that a game of Mass Effect's magnitude, size, deep levels of involvement, and unbelievablescale is kind of being over shadowed a bit by it. Because as far as sci fi, save the human race from an alien threat games go, Mass Effect looks to be the best ever in my opinion.

I realize that it is an RPG, and Halo 3 is a shooter, but Mass Effect is still looking to be the far better game regardless if you ask me. Halo 3 is still one of the most fun FPS I have ever played though. But, as for an overall all gaming experience, story, immersion, ect....I personally think Mass Effect will nail it. And if any game this year has a shot at getting a 10, it definitely has the best shot.

Since Halo 3 didn't get it, I doubt any game will this year. Its SP was amazing and it has so much content that it will keep gamers busy for years. Mass Effect could get it, but it is going to have be nearly flawless on the SP front since it doesn't have a MP.

lol halo 3 did not have amazing SP :s it was mediocre at best. And I can't see why UT3 should get a lower score cause it's multiplayer.. ahem, mmorpgs can get good scores (WoW) and theyre multiplayer only >.>

Ok, just looked it up, literally revolutionary means impacting something. So therefore the game has to do something new that's so successful that it's adopted by others. Still though, you can't impact any other game if you're doing the same thing like last game.

On a side note, in this sense of the word halo was actually revolutionary... cool.

World in Conflict got a 9.5, and didn't even have a "Bad" section in its review. In fact, after (a very quick) skimming of the review, there isn't even anything negative about the game mentioned.

If a game with no negatives mentioned at all in the review (unless I missed something) can't get a 10, I think the odds of seeing one are very slim.

Here's the review for reference:

So you are saying that LBP and Spore are not revolutionary. As I have no idea what revolutionary is? WOW and MOST MMOs (including Console MMOs) are as you stated People being just a NPCs!!! Wow how revolutionary! Just because this game takes a different aproach in this?! Also revolutionary can be in terms of goal and of methods so many games can be considered revolutionary as you only have to make a game with a different method.kentaro22

I didn't understand your last sentence at all.

Congratulations, you just described Splinter Cell: Double Agent. And Sam Fisher doesn't even grab balls.

Halo3 is pretty FAR from a perfect 10. it's a perfect TEN as a multi player game i think, but the single player campaign is laughable... seriously..Always-Honest

The only thing holding the campaign back, was that it needed more story exposition. Sometimes, the characters just arrive at new data, and it really isn't explained, or shown how/why that information is discovered. As far as actual gameplay, the SP campaign rivals the first Halo in amazing setpieces, and "omg wtf did you see that!!" moments.

So now polish is revulationary? Man, that's cool. I was unaware that simply a higher level of polish is deserving of "revolutionary" titles.

BTW why can't we stay n topic? What game do you think will get AAAA status on gamespot?kentaro22

Only chance for this year, I think, is Mass Effect. Them Bioware guys are smart.
