* the multiplatform "next door" is taken under the highest rating

Judging by these estimates, the list includes at least 15 games of all times and peoples ( 90+). Is it really?

What games do you think are on this list that shouldn't be?
For which games do you think the score is completely inadequate?
And the main question is, what is the reason for the tendency to bet [b] 10/10 [/ b], [b] 100/100 [/ b] to a large number of games?

BioShock overestimated


Ratchet & Clank Future extremely overestimated: dn: 6-7 points

with the rest agree / did not play: knight:

[b] Mushishi [/ b], at the same size, clothes get bigger over time, CDs are recorded at higher volume, games are given higher ratings. People love it when the games they play get high marks. That's all.

where is Mass Effect? :?

Retrokun 06.08.21

I would remove those from the port-port-port category - they are great yes, but now there are repetitions

[b] Don Reba [/ b], I don't care what the score of the game I like is, my opinion usually coincides with the opinion of the players, with the opinion of the reviewers is not always. Although the reviews are different - if it is from some thread of a little-known resource or from what thread it is, then it is usually more truthful, no one crushes tea

maybe the game journalists are normal, the more advertising and hype, the higher the scores ... How can I give bioshok and other halma 10ki, I finally don’t understand. :?
I watch the current press for funny pictures and videos.

Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword and Supreme Commander are slightly overpriced, IMHO.
BioShock estimates - must have been eating potatoes in cisterns, overestimated.
The rest either did not play, or I agree.

Gamespot bet 8.5, ign - 9.4.

[b] Don Reba [/ b],: agree: there is not even anything to add.
money hardly decides anything directly, but besides money there are many methods of regulating the policy of working with the press. Fresh demos for example.
And the fact that 9 is given to everyone in a row is complete heresy. 9 is actually eight. 9 is Quake 3 Arena (with all its innovation), 8.7 is Unreal Tournament, and 9.6 is Starcraft. And not just any seven-point crap like Bioshock.

For explicit clonos (Guitar Hero) should be deducted by a point right away. And on business - the press has long lacked intelligent cynical experts who love games. To smash Bioshok so that the pieces flew.

The CoD 4 score is clearly overstated. For a mean single and a good multi they don't put that much.

[b] vodafon [/ b], and Zelda is now, of course, rubbish, if the upstart broke her by ratings?
Those ratings were not at all the same as they are now. About any "Mario cooler than Zelda" we can not talk. He can only be cooler than Bioshock.

Bioshock at 25th place, and WoW at 1st =)

GuessWho 06.08.21

I stopped reckoning with GayStop's opinion for a long time, and GameRankings is just an average rating among a bunch of morons and two or three normal reviewers, so there can be no question of objectivity. I evaluate the games myself and I think it is right.

GameRankings can be used as a base of reviews for games, but not as an absolute indicator of their quality (but I admit it, and it is sometimes convenient). There are 4-5 editions, the opinion of which is interesting to me, and according to them I assess whether it is worth playing at all. Thanks to them, I have not spent long hours lately on any progression. The rest of the fans to bet 8 and 9 in a row (IGN, for example) boldly go through the forest.
Well, the problem of many visitors is that they only look at ratings, but do not read articles, so prejudices appear in them. And in normal publications, with rare exceptions, everything is clearly reasoned.

[b] Guess Who [/ b], and I trust Edge. So they understand in many cases what six is ​​and that most games are generally five
