Dark Souls, and that's pretty much it.

Every other one (Ocarina of Time and FFX mostly) that I would consider 10/10 are probably for nostalgia. They are my personal 10/10s, but if I'm trying to be as objective as possible I think Dark Souls is the only 10/10 I have played. Ocarina of Time would be up there if not for the water temple which was way worse than blighttown.

@Black_Knight_00: Twilight Princess was not subpar imo in terms of graphics.

BOTW doesn't look bad. It's not great either. Definitely the artwork had to compensate for lack of power, but it does so pretty well.

The gameplay is revolutionary. Im not even a Nintendo fanboy, I've owned every Sony console, I have not owned every or even most Nintendo consoles. But the gameplay in BoTW and the open world are revolutionary. The story, character development, lore, sidequests are all subpar though.

Each game tries to be something different, so of course they target different people, who'll like each game accordingly.


That said, what Zelda tries to do it executes nearly perfectly. It's true open world almost like nothing before. It also has some cool Zelda puzzle elements scattered nearly everywhere.

Zero dawn is a good game in its own right, with a good open world, story and combat. It's just plain solid.

What Andromeda tries to do, it executes very mediocre-ly in my opinion.

This is one thing I like about Gamespot. Or, well, used to, I think they give 10's more frequently now than they used to back in the PS1 era.

 

Anyway, you have to keep things in perspective, or the ratings become meaningless. A score of ten out of ten should be reserved for a game that you can hardly find a fault in, a game that reinvents the genre, and/or has a timeless quality. Bioshock Infinite, while I'm sure its a great game, is not any of those three. 

 

There have been several games recently that have got a ten, and IMO, none of them deserved it. MGS4 and SMG2, maybe, but GTA4 hell no.

 

In short, the reason I think the 10/10 rating is so rare now is simply because none of the games deserve it.  Most developers now want easy money, and aren't willing to try something very different.

No.

You base your opinion of Skyward sword on an incorrect review, whereas every other website is giving it 9.5's and 10's. Though your right, Gamespot won't give it GOTY. It will be GOTY in other places though, its a great game.

Dark Souls brought a lot of innovation to the Souls series, much more then Skyrim did. Its most deserving of the reward, the gameplay was orgasmic xD

The Witcher 2 was a better RPG then Skyrim.

Uncharted 3 your right, Uncharted 2 was better.

I would say Dark Souls deserves to win, but it won't. Its too hard for most people, so its appeal isn't wide enough to be called GOTY. Arkham City deserves it too, but I know for a fact Skyrim will be the GOTY. Its a messy and overrated game, but whatever. To each their own I guess.

Little Big Planet 2 deserves to be in the bargain bin.

Dark Souls deserves GOTY.

Everyone is just all excited over Skyrim. I'm sure this is the first (or second?) Elder scrolls for the majority of the voters here. For its time, morrowind was the best, and the quality of the series has fallen since then (as a serious RPG) as it has become more and more mainstream.

Thanks for the help guys.

I called sony and they said that either buy a converter or purchase a new PS3. I didnt do either as the converter was like 80 dollars. I just plugged it in and it works. Apparently it has universal voltage. Dumb sony. :/
