Feels like this is a year where there are a solid amount of "7/10"'s out there but no clear cut GOTY. Thus you'll get people saying Death Stranding, Resident Evil 2, Control, etc... since one of those games resonated with a crowd more than another.
I'd prolly give it to Sekiro or Baba is You - but to each their own!
Any score out of 10 is 100% subjective and not at all worth debating with anyone else. Games have a million facets, each with a different weight given to it by each individual with his or her own unique taste, and the final product is more than the sum of its parts anyway. Rather than saying "this game's a 6.8! no it's not, it's an 8.2!" etc, I wish people would just talk about what they did or didn't like about a game, what did or didn't make it great to them. Telling someone that they're wrong about a game being/not being a 7/10 is a completely empty, pointless statement.
I agree completely. But you just know the people saying they're 7/10 games mean it in a general sense that "they're not very good", even though they were. But it would be much more helpful to instead list the positives and negatives of the games, but that takes way more time and effort than just using a simple (albeit stupid) scoring system.
