Not as a journalistic rating, just a personal rating.
Journalist and Personal are the same thing though. I could rate Ocarina of Time 10/10 but note the flaws, therefore it would void the 10/10 essentially because it isn't perfect. Sorry if I'm killing your thread, but I have no idea how it works.
So have you never had that feeling of "this is the best game ever" just because of how much you loved it, yet noted that it has flaws? Out of interest, are there any 10/10 games in your personal opinion?
Nope. I love Ocarina of Time. Best game ever. But I still see flaws in it. Amongst speed runners it's known that Ocarina of Time is incredibly broken.
Street Fighter 3: Third Strike. One of the best fighting games ever created(if not the best). Yet the balancing issue with characters like Sean and Q are pretty bad. 100% Stun-kill combos and more
Resident Evil 4. One of the greatest games ever made. Is a tad linear with 0 puzzle elements.
To give a game 10/10 you have to brutally honest with yourself. This game maybe incredible and perfection of that genre, but if you think logically about the game and don't "fanboy" up yourself you can see what the true issues with the game are without crapping on it. You mentioned Skryim being perfect but can somehow swat off the glitches and combat. Bethesdass QA team are wank to be honest. It seems to the norm to release a game and expect glitches. If spinning heads and falling through the map was on a Zelda game....there'd be murder. You have to be fair really.
So do you REALLY think that when you play a game you can be totally, perfectly objective reviewing it? Which is better, Tetris or Resident Evil 4?
