One of the worst things about the gaming community at large is how much stock they place in review scores, much like how cineastes will take a movie's Rotten Tomatoes score as an objective indication of its quality (which, even as a contributor to the Tomatometer, I must admit is utterly ridiculous). If sites like IGN, which give decimal-based numerical scores to all games, give a new entry into a classic franchise anything less than the utmost praise - say, 9.5 - you can expect full-on mayhem in the comments section. It's an indication that we're not merely happy to enjoy a great game, but we need that greatness confirmed by a powerless "regulatory body" like a review website, and that if a game doesn't score as highly as a rival franchise, then it's an abject failure. Whatever happened to enjoying both competing franchises and hoping they both deliver great games? Needless to say, you can expect that if GTA V does not receive a 10 rating from IGN - given that GTA IV, perhaps quite unjustly, did - the reviewer will get ripped a new one in the comments, regardless of the actual content of their review. So much stock is put into a number rather than the context or tone of the review, and it's pretty embarrassing, really.
