Hendo Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I went looking to see what the GTM Twitter feed was like, if anyone working there had a breakdown, got drunk and started shit-posting their higher ups. But sadly not. But they have posted about the 16 games that got 10/10, so thought it was worth putting in here. Metroid Prime Burnout 3 : Takedown Gears of War God of War II Bioshock Grand Theft Auto IV Fallout 3 Demon's Souls Mass Effect 2 Super Mario Galaxy 2 LittleBigPlanet 2 Dead Space 2 Bioshock Infinite Grand Theft Auto V Metal Gear Solid V : The Phantom Pain Super Mario Odyssey Old news that some people think Bioshock was overrated but that's a definite 10 from me. Flawed but very special. Not sure God of War II and LBP2's 10 scores have aged all that well. And I like Dead Space 2 a lot, but not convinced on that one.

Sly Reflex Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 For me there's only 2 games on there worth the top score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 of that list just Metroid for me. I really liked LBP2, it really didn't get the attention it deserved, it's a fantastic game, but it's not a 10. The first Mario Galaxy was a 10 imo, the 2nd one not so much I was talking to the other Bitparade writers a couple of months back. I remember someone (none of the main writers) giving Bioshock a 10, and for years and years that was our only 10, even though the rest of us didn't like it. I eventually gave one game a 10, and I can't for the life of me remember what it was ? After we dropped the site it looks like the back up got lost too, so it's gone forever edit: I found it. the Dishonored dlc The Brigmore Witches was the first, and I think last, game I gave a 10 to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regemond Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Going by the whole '10/10 is an outstanding example of gameplay that's not to be missed by fans of the genre and should be experienced by everyone' I'd say Mass Effect 2 and Burnout 3 deserve it. The rest are good/great, but I wouldn't say they're a perfect 10. BioShock Infinite got close for me though. Please note: I'm well aware that my shocking taste in certain games means the above opinions can't be trusted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 GTA IV definitely got a few higher scores than it deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 Bitparade when under? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 5 minutes ago, Sly Reflex said: Bitparade when under? yeah. Riva disappeared for reasons, I was doing all the writing, making videos, posting news etc. Beemoh did a bit and there was someone else who did the odd review. I couldn't be arsed anymore, writing like that and working is exhausting, plus I wasn't getting to play what I wanted, so we let the hosting lapse. The last game I reviewed was The Norwood Suite, which no one has heard of, prior to that though it was the Danganronpa PS4 ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 I was always under the assumption that it was Riva's baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 It was initially, then it was split between 3 of us, then Riva just wasn't doing as much until he disappeared completely. I'm not having a go at him for that, he had reasons for disappearing, but we've not heard from him since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I think Gears 1 is a ten, but I disagree with a lot of the others Bioshock is a really really strong 9. MGSV might be a ten if you don't play chapter two, which I think a lot of journos didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 The first two remastered Batman games are on sale for a tenner on PS4 which is really tempting as I fancy playing them again, but not sure I have the time as they are fairly sizeable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Yeah, I caved and got them. Still haven’t played the 3rd one or Origins but I’ll happily play the first one again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 there's 15% off on ebay at the minute using the code PRESENTS. I'm itching to buy something but Pokemon, Diablo, Civ 6, they're all going to get ignored this time next week when Smash arrives. I'm being worked and it's taking everything I've got to not buy something I don't want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Reflex Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 I've made my way into the L4D2 levels after going through the L4D1 levels and DLC. They're a significant jump in difficulty. I noticed that they've retroactively put the crescendo moments introduced in 2 into 1. For instance the bit in the airport it forces you to go through the metal detector which kicks off a gauntlet run for the final saferoom before the finale. I'm undecided whether they should have done that because in some instances you've to survive a few set pieces anyway, I don't think they dump you ammo or guns either which can make some of them rough, you can quickly find yourself down to pistols because the onslaught is gargantuan. Getting better with the keys and mouse though. Up to 40% accuracy, I don't know where I should be aiming for but I guess that's respectable? On pad I'd be doing about 20 something percent. Still a bit crap with the keys but I just added the crouch onto the keys from a mouse binding. It's the same discomfort I experienced when I first learn the powerchord 5ths and 7ths. If you don't know what that is you almost certainly know it as the Status Quo song, since they used it in every fucking song they ever did.
