I think the biggest issue you'd run into if the scores were abolished would be that a lot of people wouldn't bother looking up reviews at all. How many of the people in uproar over a 9/10 do you think actually read the review and didn't just skip to the end for a numeric representation of a personal opinion about a complex experience?Goliath100 said:Not having score is the optimal solution, but is that realistic? There is no way everyone would drop the score, and as humans, we like to organize things.templar1138a said:Personally, I find Yahtzee's method of reviewing to be the most informative: Avoid numbers and ranks and stick to summarizing the central gameplay elements, the mood, the difficulty curve, and the writing (if applicable).

That's why I always liked Saint's Row more than other similar games - the main character is in the goofy psycho mode even during the story segments, to the point where others start pointing out that he's a sociopath at best and a monster at worst.

Oh I remember that, but then again it wasn't 4 out of something. In the Wolfenstein review it got 2/5 stars as the final joke/limerick.Darth_Payn said:I forgot which game it was, but he gave it a 4, "as in 'FOURK YOU!'"Evonisia said:All the GTA fans and their crazy demands for perfect scores, unfortunately you got the bile Jim but at least you could make that poem as a result.

I get ya, Jim. I get ya. I've given up looking for a rational voice out there in the huddled masses that are console gamers..
