10-11 million I think, yeah, but I don't recall where I heard that. And yes, that's a lot by Polish standards.

That's what I meant. Maybe I'm too much of an underachiever, but if I had a straight-rating press, I'd be pretty happy to go into the 80s range.
Hell, I myself, as a reviewer, don't go into the 80s range that easily. Let alone the 90s. Even Dragon Age, easily RPGotY, might not hit the 90s if I were reviewing it (I'm not).
And yeah, that 8.2 rating looked weird after that interview, but is pretty high by GB standards, even though Carter habitually rates a lot higher than I do. Personally, and I've said this before, I loathe ratings and would just like to dump 'em from GB wholesale. Or at least just give them over to the head editor so they're more consistent.
Thing is 90%+ has been the 'we love this game you should buy it' rating for games since day one.
If the niche won't stick their necks out for their titles you can hardly expect the mainstream guys to do it for them.
hackbod said:It does seem odd to me to be unhappy an arbitrary rating scale.
I'm not singling KG out as a bad man fallacy either, or that I disagree with all his opinions/reviews just that if there is little opposition in niche web-sites then there's little point to them doing reviews - because what are they then offering really?
