[@icecold1805]

The thing is, he arguably has a point. Look, numerical values to review a game is very arbitrary, cuz, if you define the value as "this represents the average of this game vs all the games in existence", then this game is a solid 6. Consider that 99% of all videogames in existence, are early access games on steam that were abandoned by the dev, asset flips that are so broken they are completely unbeatable, or last a solid hour of... well not gameplay, more of a walking simulator. When one considers these disasters compose the vast majority of games in existence, then a game that you can actually beat like Gollum, is, "technically", a 6. And we know Jerma is like this, he is very literal with his terms sometimes, so the logic I am proposing here is probably the way he was thinking about it.

[@ToastyFruitcake]

I've always wondered why people considered 5/10 the lowest score you could give a game, finding out thats being compared to the failing school grade in American schools does a lot towards explaining that to me. 50/100 in Australian schools is still a pass, its just what you give the lowest possible effort thats still technically ticking the criteria off the task (like a licensed game that is everything the company asked for and nothing more). It's certainly a game that mostly runs and looks fairly acceptible if you ignore every rigged model in the game. 5/10 from me too. A game of all time.
