Games such as Halo 3 that delivers an extremely well put together multiplayer and solid gameplay receive perfect scores.

Games such as Bioshock that delivers immersive storyline and gameplay receive perfect scores.

And games such as No More Heroes that deliver a fascinating feel, a different perspective, going the extra mile into something generally no developer wants to touch.

Every game has bugs. The question is, is the game good enough to over look the bugs? In Sessler’s opinion, yes, it is; which is why he gave it a 5 out of 5. Whether or not I agree with that score is not important, but I agree with his stance and his reasoning behind it.

In essence, from your perspective, no game should be rated perfect since:

Humans are imperfect
therefore,
Games are imperfect.

Instead of looking at the score like a real number based sort of deal, look at it like the enjoyment factor of the reviewer. A review is essentially a writer’s soap box. This is where he declares why or why not he likes a game and follows his opinion with an easy number based system.

Read reviews, not the numbers. If I went to read the numbers, games like Assassin’s Creed would have never been played by me.

And if you believe the dialog is boring, then the humor is either lost on you, or goes over your head
