I wish the ps4 would let you do custom control schemes on a game by game basis because Night in the Woods only uses 3 buttons and I want to be able to play it one handed for maximum efficiency so I can drink wine while playing :\

That game is flat out amazing start to finish. I disagree with people who say the first act is vastly superior to the others. The tone changes somewhat but there was only one part I didn't like and if anything the problem with that part is that it's way too long and over designed.

Okay, Bloodychill:

What game deserves a perfect score? Because right now your comment doesn't actually appear to differ between perfect score and literal perfection and the fact that you're taking it as an insult against you implies to me that is exactly what you mean.

Almost all the game mechanics go together very tightly and are well-designed, the game nails its visual and sound design, the game brings at least one new thing to the table, there are no game-breaking bugs, performance is at least serviceable, the (fairly subjective) quality of writing and story-telling are good if that's a factor in the game, and the very subjective "is this game fun as all hell." There can obviously be some give/take on each category. That's a perfect score.

Games that approach this over the past two years for me are Bloodborne (couple minor design issues like always needing to teleport through the dream, farming blood vials come to mind, performance was pretty awful in terms of loading and lost frames in some places), Link Between Worlds (my only issue was it was maybe a little too derivative of LttP, but that's about it), and maybe Titanfall 2 but I got super into the multiplayer so that got it over the line for some AI issues I ran into in the main campaign)... probably some others I can't think of.

I got some issues with Zelda's game design already mentioned, the sound design is kinda eh (music is overly sparse and cuts weird on zone, not a fan of the music anyway this time around), and the performance issues bug me a ton. I get major hang when fighting certain enemies like the game will freeze up for a couple seconds each time I attack them. The stamina is kind of a drag where I'll find myself in 127 Hours situations while climbing but be like sooo close to a ridge, it's odd to have stamina play into swimming, the treasure chests have big unlock sequences or can be tough to find but are lame and usually contain something not very interesting and they oddly removed the old Zelda mechanic where treasure chest quality denotes the quality of what's inside, the fire is neat at first but gets annoying as the game goes on (similar to Myth where I first saw that)the rock bosses get old quickly, the game feels aimless at times because of a weak narrative, the dungeons are underwhelming... I don't want to bitch too hard but all these little things add up to me feeling like they take away from the great things which are: The exploration is great and they give you a lot of good tools for it (towers, scope, horse, color fit highlighting unexplored shrines, the physics simulation stuff is really fun and feeds into the combat and exploration as well as the tools the games give you, the shrine puzzles can get pretty clever, the weather is really cool in how it affects the game though it can get in the way of exploration, the interaction with NPC's is really neat and a lot of them have cute quests, the combat is serviceable and the weapon selection is neat.

That was a lot of words but yeah. Oh also why can't I house and name the bear I tamed. Come on!

I don't normally like survival horror games (I totally bounced off Alien: Isolation) but I am really digging this. Also I am leaning in real life like a doof when fighting enemies, I would probably literally die if I tried playing this in VR

If you're saying "approach that" then you've not actually answered the question. What is a 'perfect score" game. Not one that approaches it. A genuine game that you would go "This got 10/10 and deserves it." If you can't name a single game that deserves a perfect score then you're actually doing exactly what I said: creating an unobtainable ideal for no reason.

This is exactly the problem I mentioned before. Treating 10/10 not as "this is a top mark" but as a magical perfect unobtainable ideal which no game can match, and then getting upset when people actually use it.

It's great but a game genuinely too hard for me.

I think I got to about Level 4 and every stage was taking me about 15 minutes of retries to beat and there were five more levels of like thirty stages.

If I reviewed botw I would give it 10/10 and I think there are some big flaws in the game. I haven't enjoyed exploring in a game this much ever.

if i reviewed it it would be the really excited gamepro face for most of the categories but then a less excited one for sound and performance and a side bar about how lots of decisions led to a less fun game than they could have had.

If a paper deserves an A+, it gets an A+. If it doesn't, it doesn't and whining about it is stupid. Same goes for games. Of the games I mentioned, LBW is probably the only perfect score game. BB and TF2 are damned close.

There's nothing wrong in holding things to a high standard. It doesn't mean a 9 is "just good" or a 7 is trash. I wasn't one of myriad weirdos whining when Twlight Princess "only got an 88." So gently caress gently caress off with all that "magical impossible scores that no game could achieve." Like I laid out a pretty good metric there.
