How is that putting words in the reviewers mouth?

Do you forget that reviews are, after all, opinions?

Therefore I don't think it's too much of a leap of logic to say that a reviewer giving a flawless score to a review (as in, his opinion) would believe the game to be flawless.

I'm not trying to flame or anything, but you seem to have forgotten that no matter how big the site reviews by definition should be an opinion (of a professional in the case of places like IGN). Unless they're all getting paid off or something.

I was just expanding on what Steel said about a 10 never being able to be universal. I did word that a bit wrong. The IGN reviewer seemed to only have very small problems with the game, to the point where I don't think they'd really be considered flaws (of course they are literally, but they won't get in the way of your gameplay at all and the game can thusly be considered flawless to the person in question if it has nothing detrimental within it to them).

I just edited my post because I didn't explain properly. A reviewer giving a 10 (or a 100 or whatev) would lead me to believe that the reviewer finds the game flawless, but it doesn't mean everyone will, thusly not making it 'perfect' as such.

I shouldn't argue the point though because you're right, I don't really know what the reviewer thinks. I just don't think it's a stretch to believe that a reviewer giving a game a symbolic 'perfect' score would find a game flawless in their opinion.

ptizzle just said it means the reviewer thinks the game is flawless

i can still call the reviewers stupid, right? or is that stupid too?? there are too many rules involved here.

oh for fuck's sake YOU CAN'T GRADE GAMES LIKE MATH what's wrong with you. there's no way you didn't see the intense flaw here.

hmmm well magical negro your paper was to include exactly seven unique five syllable words and you've only done six, gotta dock you two points for that, as well as not quite hitting the six page mark and going over, dock you another two.

when you grade a creative media you can never say it's perfect because (christ I can't believe I have to explain this) perfection cannot be created since people are imperfect and you can never satisfy everyone. GTA doing so well doesn't mean it's the BEST GAME EVER IT'S PERFECT or even that it's the best sandbox game ever but it means it's a damn fine specimen with few flaws that anyone with the slightest interest in the style of game can find.

a Christian reviewer would dock it for violence, panda probably will not play it much, and a blind man will hate it, but this doesn't mean you must suddenly give the game a 9.8 because it's not perfect across the board with every possible demographic.

Look man im not even trying to argue, i just stated my opinion and you get offended. Im just saying 10/10=perfect technically, yes technically, and its natural for someone to think that the game is flawless. Try it for yourself, go to 5 random people and ask them what is 10/10 and i'll bet all of them say perfect. Its not really that serious...But to other matters, anyone know if there are going to be seasons?
