You trying to tell me absolutely no game could be improved? If a game is 10/10 imo then there is not one thing that can be done to improve it, and that just isn't true. 100% for a game shouldn't happen.

Revewing games isn't an exact science. If it was then you'd have cause for making your complaints, but as it stands these are purely people's opinions converted in to numbers. They are basically saying this game is awesome and that any of the little niggles are completely put in the shadow by EVERYTHING else the game does.

10/10 means that a game is one of the best examples, if not the best, in its given genre and for its time. It doesn't mean perfect, just that it's bloody marvelous.

agreed, i take 10 as it sets out to do something and succeeds at it exceptionally. SO for exacmple i think guitar hero is a 10/10

But i am also of the belief an average game is a 5/10, unlike many review sites who like to hover around 6 for a poor game

Yeah there seems to be little point in the common score system if the bottom end never or rarely gets used, how many average games get scores around 5 and how many poor games get even less? for as long as i can remember i've seen very few games get rated logically from the great majority of reviewers, but then people in general seem to have the belief that low numbers like 5 are bad when really they're just average, strange indeed...

My post has been also, but no limited edition

Hoping it may be a van job as they might put it in an oversized box.

But usually my postie is just a lazy **** (pick from several expletives there lol)

Mine hasnt arrived yet but a NA friend says the CE is heavy, likely to be a van job.
