9.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~
Magesx | 7:35 PM on 11.07.2007 17 comments


So, it appears SMG got a 9.5 outta Gamespot, which is pretty good, since just about every game in the past 3 years has gotten 7.5s from them.

However, how long will it be till we see an uprising of dudes who think it oughta gotten a 10? I dunno, but I feel it in my bones. We should make a pool.

God, I fear the wave of halfwitted net-bitching about Mario Galaxy scores, why people care at all is just baffling.

Also, Magesx, are you your own friend?

Damn striaght I'm my own friend. I don't really remember how it happened, though.

I should get some more friends.

Damn fucking straight. I played this at Gamestop an hour after I was playing MP3: corruption. My head exploded with awesome overload.

Shouldn't surprise anyone!

Who cares what gamespot says anymore? They gave BioShock a 9.0 and Halo 3 a 9.5. That's all you need to know.

The game is going to be amazing though, and for once in my life I wish I had a Wii.

You mean it hasn't started yet? The 1up guy got burned alive for giving it a 9.5.

gamespot doesnt give games 10 any more. Its all part of their new scoring system that they claim allows them to compare games more accurately... but actually just means that theres tons of 9.5's. Still, im glad that 10 is damn near impossible to get - it should be, now that games have been around for a while and are more mainstream, and theres only what several hundred coming out in november alone...

The real problem im looking for is the whole 'but halo 3 got 9.5 and this is sooooo much better!' crap... still, hopefully them being on different platforms and genres will stop it.

Well, I just picked up a WII!!!!! Can't wait to give this game a try. Super Mario 64 was one of my all time favorites!

Those housewives are going to be damn disappointed to find out that it doesn't have a tennis minigame included.
interbutts's Destructoid Blog
it's still better than IGN.

Why they feel the need to give scores withing 1/10 of a percent is beyond me.

In my eyes, both Gamespot and IGN are made of failure. If I want gaming news or reviews I either go here or Kotaku.
Magesx's Destructoid Blog
Gamespot changed their system a month or two ago. Now it's only outta .5s and such, rather than .1s.

PUBLIC NOTICE:
... this game is not Mass Effect...
THAT IS ALL
FuriousGeorge's Destructoid Blog
well it rags on optional powerups and lacking a story......like mario was EVER about story...

?

guess there would be an uprising of pissed off halo fans if anything was higher than that........
