Does any game deserve 10/10 or 100%?

[Tartarga]

1. Yes but it must be reprentative to other games out otherwise it would be pointless so it suggests perfection.
2. Did you? When? Our suggestion does make sense anyway, it is your fault if you cannot see the sense possibly due to your lack of sense.
3. Best score is the highest score it can achieve within reason. Perfect score is the highest score it can achieve ultimatly. 9/9 would be perfection but 9/10 wouldn't because it is not 10/10.

You are suggesting that no game can achieve a 10/10 because no game is perfect. That makes the 'best score' a game can receive the exact same thing as the 'ultimate score' it can receive. If something is not achievable it can't be included in the grading system.

Scores aren't a symbol of the game's quality, they are not the end all factor of it's overall greatness; They are numerical representation of what the reviewer thought of the game. If it did everything the way the reviewer wanted it to and then some, I don't see why it shouldn't be given a 10.

Who said it is not achievable? It is basic fact that nothing is perfect, but theoretically perfection is achievable.

Yes they are, to both. The reviewer cannot see it as perfect unless he is a very small minded individual.

a game can definetly get a 10/10 but not a 100% because that would be like saying the game is perfect and no game is perfect

10/10 has the same numeric value as 100%, 1.

just because a game gets a 10/10 does not mean its perfect

The only way you can say 10/10 for a review is if you declare that it is 10-(delta)/10

It's funny that you get it, you clearly get it, but then suddenly you don't get it.

yes, if you use decimals to rate a game, it IS exactly like using %s, 7.2 IS 72%. And if you do use decimals, it will be nigh impossible for a game to reach 10/10, which basically means 100%.

threshold for highest score:

100% = 100%
50/50 = 99%
20/20 = 97%
10/10 = 95%
5/5 = 90%

If we are doing it your way:
100% = 100%
100/100 = 99% (100 divided by 100 = 1 and 100 - 1 = 99)
50/50 = 98% (100 divided by 50 = 2 and 100 - 2 = 98) (Edit)
20/20 = 95%
10/10 = 90%
5/5 = 80%

That has to be it because 5/5 is half of 10/10 because the scores do not attually represent fractions, they are really represnting numbers by other numbers, if you can see the difference. =P

Well, my math may be a little wonky but I was factoring it like this;

49.5/50 = 50/50

4.5/5 = 5/5

rounding up.

in the 5/5 case (just because I don't want to mess around with the bigger numbers) for instance, 4/5 = 80%, 4.5/5 = 90%

Seeing as how a review is subjective, and limited to the time in which it is done, a 10/10 is possible. If a reviewer decides that a game is as perfect as a game at that time period, using the technology available at the time, then yes, it deserves a 10/10 from that reviewer. Plus, if the game is better than any other game available, then by comparative standards it can be considered a 10/10, because it is better than a 9/10.

 

[Uncompetative]

For your information here are all the games that Edge magazine thought deserved a 10/10 score:

Elite
Super Mario Bros.
Exile
GoldenEye 007

Super Mario 64
Gran Turismo
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Halo: Combat Evolved
Half-Life 2
Halo 3
The Orange Box
Super Mario Galaxy
Grand Theft Auto IV
LittleBigPlanet

Hmm. Interesting that they should pick eight games for the 360.

No you can call it a 9/10 but say it is better than the other, what if another comes along the day after which you decide was even better than the one before, do we put 11/10?

lets not turn this into a fanboy debate.

in any case, I can only see 1 exclusive 360 title in that list.

I suppose you have a point. I know there are a lot of review sites and even a magazine or two that have stopped putting numerical reviews in their articles, because of this exact argument.

You snort it, and don't double post.

I apologise for that I was merely suggesting that it is strange that they can pick any PERFECT game. Anyway I only have a 360... (poverty plagues me)
