Wait a minute, this doesn't make sense. Let's back up here for a moment. This must be about the Eurogamer review, what are you trying to say about it and how does that excuse Minecraft for being so unfinished?

What Eurogamer review? Ok. Let me give you my play by play of this thread so far.

You: Minecraft shouldn't get 10s because it isn't done.

Me: What if they like it enough to give it a 10?

You: It isn't finished and has glitches up the ass. It shouldn't get a 10 from anyone.

Me: I certainly wouldn't give it a 10, but my 10 would mean something completely different from someone else's. If they feel it deserves a 10, then there's really nothing stopping them. It's fine.

You: The only reason they'd give it a 10 is some ulterior motive. They're doing it for the publicity. The fact that it has a 10 at all is proof enough.

Me: Or...they just like the game. That doesn't prove anything.

That's about where we are at this point, yeah?

They got this review absolutely spot-on. It's perfect.

Minecraft is not worth paying money for in my opinion, and it will be, but not in this state.

What stupid ****ing critic has a 10/10 that means "flawed"?

Ulterior motive. Either that or he should be fired immediately.

Are you guys really getting this upset that a guy likes a game more than you do? I understand that the game is far from perfect and I disagree with his review, but really? Is it really worth getting this upset over?

Not really getting upset, but his review is awful and I want to discuss it =/. A 10 is a perfect score. It can't go higher than that. So obviously if Minecraft didn't have the many imperfections it has now, would it have a score of 15/10 or so?

Remember, this is a professional review on Eurogamer made by a paid critic. It's not a user review on IGN or anything.

I know. That shit happens. All the time. IIRC, Nintendo Power released a paid review that had a score of 11/10. Seriously. Because they didn't have anything higher than "perfect", they gave a game 11 out of 10. At that point, I stopped taking numbers seriously. I much prefer the text in a review itself. If it's a good reviewer, they'll have actual opinions about the game rather than an easily corruptible, embellished, and arbitrary number attached to it.

Here, this video can probably shed some light on the way I feel about numbered reviews: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/vide...ate-Out-Of-Ten

The problem is that these game reviews have such a grasp on the gaming industry and, unfortunately, scores have a large part in determining whether or not a publisher wants to fund a sequel or not.
