    I would say it totally deserves it but why didn't the PS3 version get the same score

    Speaking of re-releases, since PGA Tour was so disappointing I shelled out 40 bucks for God of War 3. Still fun!

    Is it even an HD uprez? It is a port. The framerate is probably higher

    I've only put my PS4 in rest mode since they added the resume function, haven't shut it down fully yet. Haven't had any issues. Apart from every game disconnecting from the network when I do.

    I should probably turn it off for real once.

    Weirdly enough this just made me realize that all of Troy Baker's most prominent voice roles have him playing shitty shitty people.

    Booker, Joel, Mordor Man

    wasn't he Kanji

    Are you implying Kanji is a more well known character than Mordor Man

    He's also Call of Dutyman #918402940

    I'm trying my hardest to conjure up what his name was

    I wanna say...Mitchell

    Like, if I absolutely had to guess

    I'd say that Kevin VanOrd probably felt like Journey deserved a 10 the first time around, and the PS4 release gave him an excuse to review it

    Because nowhere in his review does he mention why the PS4 version is in any way better than the PS3 version, aside from the most throwaway possible mention of higher frame rate and resolution

    Jeff gersrmann talked a while back about how gamespot works as far as 10 reviews go, if you want to give a game a ten you basically have to make your case to the lead editor who picks at your review and basically plays devil's advocate

    So maybe whoever reviewed PS3 journey didn't make a strong enough case

    Giving three perfect 10s in less than a year when you've only had ten total in your near twenty-year history tells me that the value of that score is now diluted

    Giving three perfect 10s in less than a year when you've only had ten total in your near twenty-year history tells me that the value of that score is now diluted

    It is forever sullied and henceforth scores of 10 will be considered garbage and not worthy of consideration, no matter how great the vetting process.

    So it is written.

    So it shall be.

    I think it's just a simple case of Journey wasn't a perfect game worthy of a 10 until they added light bar effects.

    I think there's some merit to the idea that they might be getting a little lax with their perfect scores

    Bear in mind that GameSpot's 10 is supposed to represent a "perfect" game, one that could not be improved in any way. That is why, historically, they have been so rare.

    If you're telling me that a third of the best games ever made came out within the last year, that claim would sound slightly suspect to me.

    Especially when one of those games was filled with TONS of bugs and has already at least one (maybe two?) major updates

    I actually think you could make a much stronger case for Journey being "perfect" than Witcher 3, for what it's worth.

    Treating everyone equally with no regard for their circumstances does not result in an egalitarian society

    These images always confused me, because the second thing is what I think of as equality.

    Equality is I get a box, you get a box

    It does not account for the fact that you are 4'11" and I am 6'5"

    Yeah like

    They straight up came out at the announcement of SFV and were very clear when they said "not on Xbox, ever"

    Which made it more maddening when everyone tried to be stupid with Tomb Raider's phrasing, it's like they were scared their jaws would fall off if they spoke the term "timed exclusive"
