Oh, come on. I thought it was bad enough it got so many 100 scores -- meaning there wasn't a <i>single criticism</i> that was worth deducting even one meager point.
yahoo! is very annyoign but they have emails u can sign up for free and easily so is brilliant for evil purposes, also yahoo answers is a great place full of idiots and it is hilarious
They had to give it 6/5 Jim, it has to cancel out your SHITTY BIASED REVIEW 8.5/10 GOD IM GONNA KILL YOU
yahoo is so annyoing that i used to favorite the yahoo homepage but it annoyed be so much i favourited the mail page instead so i dont have to see their stupid home page and lowbrow news story.
Logic tells us that there is no such thing as a truly perfect game. According to Yahoo, however, there is a more-than-perfect game.
Let the battle commence.

You know what, I was planning to hyperlink this, but I forgot how do pull it off properly, so here, eat this as revenge, Jim.

Entertainment reviews are serious business, guys. One time Leonard Maltin gave a movie 3 thumbs up and was arrested on indecent exposure charges.
SephirothX, good point, but they still show Game Informer which hands out 9s and 10s like after dinner mints. On metacritic they seem to rate games on average 5-20 points higher than the metacritic rating. They've cleverly offset this from appearing as a statistic buy having their (much fewer) negative reviews underscore the metacritic ranking by 10-40 points.
Fucking Hyperbole Rift. That's nothing new, Jim. It can be found anywhere video games are discussed. You have to keep a close eye on your bullshit detector at all times.
I don't remember you becoming so incensed when ntsc-uk (now known as Bordersdown, apparently) gave Deadly Premonition an 11/10. Still, for that game it somehow feels appropriate...
also metacritics is quite often incorrect when interpeting scores as games can score from 1 being the lowest to 10 being the highest however there are some sites that have given a 0 out of 10 (for big rigs) which means they have a different score system than sites that give numbers from 1 to 10. metacritics marks games that are reviewed with a 1 which is the minimum for most reviews a 10/100 this would be perfectly fine if it wasnt for the fact that some reviewers give out a 0/10 which should still be a 10/100 on metacritics however it is not. They should just ajust those sites because they have an 11 point system ranging from 0 to 10 wich means a 3 on such sites should actually be converted to a 2.7 in a system ranging from 1 to 10
So their imaginary rating system is somehow worse than your imaginary rating system? You've already stated that the numbers have very little legitimate basis, and that attention should be paid to the written entry and not the fraction, so how is this any different? But no, you're right Mr. Sterling, all sense of legitimacy the mature and focused video entertainment industry has built will all now come crashing down solely based on one review being a little silly. Xenomorph Batman frowns at that reviewer's lack of composure.
That header cannot be unseen.
I chalk it up to someone fucking up their 10key unless proven otherwise.
Really not news worthy material but whatevs.

DerfelCadarn: I thought that was stupid too (and also seemed to be them showboating) but I wasn't posting inane drawings making fun of stuff at the time.
@Jim:
Haha, fair enough. Art Juice Forever! (Or at least until the drawings get too good, 'cause then fuck it.)

Your brush is as sharp and dangerous as a rusty Apocalypse sword! please keep slaying these flagrant, disgraceful offenders of gaming , for our sake.
Everything is gonna be like this in a few years Jim, eventually if you don't go over the score limit your a hateful cunt.

Exactly what I was thinking. Opinions cannot be standardized easily.
It's a daft complaint, anyway, as 11/10 is the same as 10/10, it's just a stylistic embellishment. All this does is unoffically raise the review bar--which is not a bad idea, actually. If I were a reviewer, I'd either have an uncapped upper limit, or leave enough wiggle room that I'd never reach it. Of course, that wouldn't mesh with Metacritic, which would be just fine.

Nice drawing, I'd rather look at that than that stupid Yahoo review.
Game reviewers have ALREADY broken the review system beyond freaking recognition.
And now some idiot has forgotten how maths works. I can't believe it hasn't been changed yet...
Arkham Asylum was GOOD, not truly GREAT. It was more than the sum of its parts and the game mechanics themselves and their uses in game could be better. It had 4 ENEMY TYPES... 4! That's just lame. It wasn't really innovative either. It was overrated, not grossly but still.
I'm actually fairly certain that Arkham City is a better game but...
Due to the constant circle jerking of these review people over every single, I can't help but be rather skeptical over everything these people put out.
Film critics laugh at us for this kind of crap. The whole concept of scores should be taken away from the manchildren that can't use them, they are a blight on the games industry.

And was this after they singled you out in their review gather up for Arkham City? Quote taken directly from their article.
"But it wouldn't be a Batman game without a villain, right?"
They were talking about you.

It seems Yahoo realized their mistake and created a new page just to change the 6/5 to 5/5. The addition of an apology for (almost?) tearing apart the fabric of reality would have been nice, but nooooo.
Still, I find your 8.5 to be a more realistic than others graciously handing out perfect scores. I've played many games that were given 5/5, 10/10, etc. and found imperfections that should have raised a "WTF" flag with the ratings.
