no

the game would have gotten a 10 anyway because its really good

A perfect score should be impossible as a perfect game does not exist.

How does this explain the numerous other 10/10s BotW received from most publications? Don't tell me Nintendo hired every single reviewer who gave Zelda a score of 10?

they always hired Nintendo shills from IGN, but truth is so does Sony and Microsoft. they usually give them some shity community manager title and tell em to read there online forums and handle their twitter all day.

Good thing 10/10 doesn't mean perfect

>>381541021
it literally does

>>381540706
10/10 realistically means the best a game can be. This doesn't mean perfect. 11/10 would be perfect, but 11/10 doesn't exist either.

>>381540706
it does exist and it's called breath of the wild

Well that clearly still doesn't apply because it runs like crap and has an ingredient that invalidates almost every other ingredient in the game

thanks but i rather stick with the 8/10 'trash' then

>>381541253
Scores are subjective, my dude. Things that bother you about the game may not really bother other people. Just because someone gave it a 10/10 doesn't mean YOU have to give it a 10/10. Not all of the reviews are 10/10. If they were, THEN the game could be considered perfect.

Back to /kia/ please. The only person they could hire without you throwing a fit is Jim Sterling.

>>381540446
If he gave it a 9 would it no longer be a conflict of interest? What about a 9.5? Like, how low do you have to rate all games before your reviews are used against you in the court of /v/ conspiracy JPGs?

This somehow explains the other 40 10/10 Breath of the Wild got.

Also the entire industry is a joke, most of the ads that are on gaming websites are games they review.
Thats the reason you see scores below 7/10 very rarely.

>>381541549
you post like that's a bad thing

Practically every reviewer gave the game a 10/10

Should Nintendo not hire any writer? Should they specifically only hire writers that give them bad reviews?

>>381541739
Nobody to date, or in that class, or whichever increasingly specific sample size you want to take, scoring perfect on a test is different from rating the subjective quality of a game. A test is made to be scored. They are often created with a metric for adding up points together to find the total score, with the expectation of eventual perfection. A more comparable example would be the teacher arbitrarily knocking a point off on a written section because they decided in advance it was impossible to do it perfectly.

>>381541021
Fucking retard yes it does. On a 1-10 rating scale you are supposed to round down. Or any rating scale for that matter.

If you say "well if this was out of 100 I would have given it a 99" well on a 1-10 scale you just remove the last number.

10/10 is literally a 100% simplified for morons. If it's not a 100%, don't give it a 10/10

Incorrect, 100% is objectively impossible. Thus 10 would not exist on the scale if it's value was perfection.

Pic related, even IGN despite their shit taste knows this. Masterpiece=/=perfection

God damn kid

Lets take OoT as example:

Ocarina of Time is one of the best rated games of all time because it was nearly perfect on release.

Without taking into account the incredible inflation of review scores over the last decade the game would have probably got 99/100 on today standarts.

It was a masterpiece in therms of graphics, gameplay, music, dungeons,secrets, atmosphere and waifus.

The only thing that got critic was the Hyrule field ( it was barren ) and the difficult yof the water temple

And because of that most people gave the game 99/100 points

But most sites have a 10/10 system so the score was 10/10

Or even worse some sites have 5/5 review sets that means even a game with 9,1 gets a fucking 5/5 = 100/100

video game "journalism" is an advertisement branch of the video game industry. it`'s literally all bought. it started during the original xbox days and its completely sold out now.

My god, someone in video game journalism is clearly corrupt and acting in a conflict of interests? And it's at IGN?

Stop the fucking presses!

Seriously though, this shit isn't new. Mass Effect 3 has Jessica Chobot in it, to which IGN gave the game a 10/10 and she defended it online. And don't forget the constant ads for games that you can view/click right above the review which gives the game a 10/10 score. There's nothing to defend or be surprised by. This is nothing new, this is just an average day for video game "journalism".

>>381540706
Review score inflation is inevitable. What was a 9.5 6 years ago is a 10 today.

Gaming journalism is a joke and the faggots who take it seriously are worse. Its a fucking hobby not something relevant to every day society

These aren't the same thing, though. Just because there's the impression of a conflict of interests that doesn't prove that there's corruption. If you're going to level serious accusations at people you should be careful and get some evidence. Of course it's better to avoid the impression altogether but that can't always be helped.

Those times they haven't been immediately hired by Nintendo.

The more you know those individual reviewers who gave Zelda a perfect score, the more you'll realize it isn't some conspiracy but those are just a bunch of idiots who fanboy like they are still in junior high school. You can tell by reading the reviews.

If Nintendo had some sort of arrangement wouldn't they want to keep this person at IGN where he could write more fluff pieces about them? Hiring him defeats the point as he's now openly working for Nintendo. You don't think it's just someone who likes Nintendo, saw a job opportunity, applied, and got it? Would Nintendo even care if he ever wrote a review on one of their games?

BOTW is a 7/10 game at best, it's a good base but needs some fucking content.
It suffers from the same gameplay flops of Skyrim but having much worse exploration since there's soo much copy paste everywhere.
