Yep. Last game worth playing was Super Mario World.

The fact that you get triggered about me enjoying games that are rated 5 and 6 by "professional reviewers" rather than your precious 10 out 10's speaks more against you than it ever will me.

Seems every Grand Theft Auto game gets 9s and 10s from every site.
Never enjoyed playing them even though I like open world games. When GTA3 came it for PS2 I borrowed it off a friend and thought it was choppy shit. I dont think that game even ran at 30 fps. Borderline unplayable for me. Gave it back to him a few days later. After playing games like DMC, Ace Combat 4 and TM Black, GTA3 was a total let down in gameplay.
It seems those super highly rated games are hit and miss with my tastes. Aside from F3, Skyrim and some old ass COD games that got 10s from some sites, most of my fav games are not rated that high. I think most of my fav games are more like 80% range.

The best games are usually the ones not being handed perfect scores.
So yeah, all the time.

No you numpty that's me pointing out your ridiculous take of "lately I've been enjoying games that have a lower arbitrary rating from certain outlets". Completely absurd.
You should play what you like regardless of other people's ratings or opinions. I really hope you're trolling because I've never heard of someone only playing games that are rated above a certain threshold lmao.

Absolutely not. I only play 10/10 games and the ones considered gems by media outlets.

I’ve played plenty of games that reviewers didn’t really care for and I’ve enjoyed. Not everything needs to be a masterpiece to be fun.

I once was absolutely hooked by a game and thought it was the best game ever.
Then I looked up its score later on and it was only rated a 9/10.
I then uninstalled the game, went into the shower and cried like a rape victim all night long.
Never again.

erm? of course....
You wouldn't want to eat Chateaubriand every bloody day. Gaming is no different. Sometimes you want a nice chicken casserole, or chilli con carne, other days you just want a macDonalds, or a pot noodle.
Not to mention if you limited yourself to $250m 10/10 blockbusters you only be playing a small handful of games per year and would burn through them pretty quick...then ur left with nothing to enjoy the rest of the year.
From the last year...Sherlock chapter one is a far cry from a 10/10, and definitely can't compete with TLOU or GOW, but is one of my fav games of the last year. Even had a fun weekend eating scientists with Carrion. I'd say disco Elyseum or Road96 too (tho they did get a lot of 10's). Lost judgement was a fun time too. Ghostwire, Beyond a steel sky, Blasphemous were all great too. (im guessing the Alan Wake remake, and Then Guardians of Galaxy, RE:Village don't count tho, as could be considered AAA 10s...oh and also include Elden Ring in that ones not to be counted)

All the time, the scores don't really matter to me. I'll allow myself to be the judge.

10/10's can be a real pain anyway, find you a nice 7--or, if you're earning high, go for an 8--and settle down

Every game I enjoy is garbage, so yes.

Is this a troll thread, because it seems like one coming from a recent release.
In any case reviewers giving out 10's don't make a game better or worse. Or have any bearing on my enjoyment of said game.
Generally I find most reviews for high profile games are usualy on the high side and most get a pass (looking past obvious or glaring flaws) because of the name and hype alone. Some games I think are deserving, others less so. Its just opinions after all.

I enjoy more games that are 5-7 range then I have games that are 10/10. Reading comprehension does not seem to be many users strong points in this topic. I'm not the one who is triggered. Thanks for posting though.
