@Ralizah It is a pretty respectable list, given that far too many magazines, websites and Twitch/YouTube broadcasters give out 10’s like candy. Ironically, Nintendo Life is one of the worse examples of this...
Just twenty games received a 10 in a space of twenty four years from a single publication, which is really, really rare to see. Personally speaking, I don’t agree with half the list myself, mostly because there are one too many repeated series however, that’s just my opinion! They are all individually brilliant games within their respective genres, whether I enjoyed them (as much as they did) or not.
I’m mostly just pleased to see Super Mario Odyssey getting a 10.
@NaviAndMii I am positively sure that they are using the demo as a ‘final test’, and they’ll be able to tweak and fine tune certain elements. The review copies are going to be sent out to the press in the middle of the week so, we shall soon see if there are some subtle changes between the demo and the final retail copy.
p.s. This is what GT Sport looks like when you play the game using a PS VR. It looks incredible!
@Peek-a-boo I'm not saying it's a bad list. I just thought it was funny how many of those games I was either underwhelmed by or actively disliked. Take it as another example of my "eccentric tastes," if you like.

^To be fair, I don't usually agree with the tastes of people here, yet I always considered my tastes to be "ecclectic" rather than "eccentric". I like a lot of mainstream games...just not the ones the people in this thread usually care about.
Speaking of the VR, supposed to be getting one as a birthday gift. To be honest it's only for Resident Evil, because otherwise I'd much prefer a PC headset

Not a bad deal if you've got that sort of cash, to be fair - but the 'GT Sport + DualShock 4 controller' bundle was more in my kind of price range, so I went with that instead! (..and only because my current, broken DS4 needs replacing!)
@NaviAndMii I mean I guess if I was going to buy the car and I wanted to play video games sure.... Ah well people spend their money how they like. No haters over here.
Wait so do you get the car when the game comes out? That would suck.
Hey I got a sweet ride...got to go to gamestop to pick it up...anybody got bus fare?

This sounds familiar. The company that made the original Dragon Age and Mass Effect seems like it no longer exists. Are there any developers who EA bought that didn't slowly decay like this?
Out of curiosity, I just Googled the price of a 2018 Mazda MX5 and got quoted between $31,900 (for the base model) and $42,200 (top-end ..both less than I had initially presumed) ..the TV's probably about $4000 ..PS4 Pro + PSVR + 12mo Subscription + game + Thrustmaster wheel + Apiga racing seat ≈ $1500 (?) ..so unless the car is a top, top end model - maybe it's not such a good deal?? ...for that reason:
@NaviAndMii I cannae believe you didn't like my pitch...
This time tomorrow, I will be playing Gran Turismo Sport, hooray!
Eurogamer were the first publication/website to drop a review for said game:
Gran Turismo Sport loses the breadth that's defined the series, but introduces something just as valuable in its place.
If the campaign is geared towards making you a better driver, the online puts systems in place to ensure you're a better racer. I've already spoken a little about how Gran Turismo Sport wisely cribs from iRacing, in my view the premier sim on PC, for its online, appropriating the safety rating system that leads towards fairer, more enjoyable racing.
The result is some of the most exciting online racing I've come across on console, an enjoyably approachable spin on iRacing's formula that makes for tense and - mostly - fair match-ups.
Let's not forget what's been lost for the series' PlayStation 4 debut, though. There's none of that old scope, and only a fraction of the old madness that made Gran Turismo so endearing. There are no lunar rovers, no 19th century single horsepowered wagons and not even anything by way of an open wheel racer to be found in its car list at launch.
Yet, conversely, this is possibly the most focussed, directly enjoyable game Polyphony Digital has put out since the heady days of Gran Turismo 3. Racing improves the breed, industrialist Soichiro Honda once said, and Gran Turismo Sport is proof positive of that.
Comparing GT Sport to my all-time favourite Gran Turismo game?
@Peek-a-boo Haha! Yeah, I've been scouring the web for GT Sport reviews and checking on the status of my GAME (UK) pre-order all morning! ..when I pre-ordered my Switch + Zelda from them, they both arrived (separately) on launch day - so I'm hopeful that GT Sport and my new DualShock 4 will both arrive tomorrow! **fingers crossed!** (..my current DS4 is busted, so if either doesn't arrive I won't be able to play )
On Metacritic, many of the reviews that are popping up are labelled 'In Progress' (I'm assuming that they want the 'full' online experience before committing to a score) ..but the ones that I've glanced over seem pretty much in line with my own experience from the demo/β
I can't wait to get properly in to it - and go fully in-depth with things like the Livery Editor etc (I should probably check out the Driving School too, to see if I can't learn a thing or two! ) ..it's up to you now GAME/Royal Mail/Post-lady - don't let me down!
There are already 331 User Ratings for GT Sport on Metacritic (90 of which are negative) - and the game isn't even out yet! ...[sarcasm]I'm sure they're all genuine[/sarcasm]
So far, 4 Critic Scores are in - 3 positive, 1 mixed (Metascore: 78) - but many 'In Progress' reviews are up too...IGN's Luke Reilly explains why he's not prepared to score the game quite yet in the following Editor’s Note (accompanying his 'Review In Progress'):
"Sony supplied a review copy of Gran Turismo Sport over the weekend but, until today, the servers have been unavailable for most of that time. Since the game appears to require connection to the servers to use any mode except ‘Arcade Mode’ we’ve been unable to progress through the solo campaign normally (or join multiplayer races). A partially-completed save game provided by Sony allowed us to test drive most of these otherwise inaccessible single-player modes while the servers were out of action, but we still want to make more regular progress through the game under normal consumer conditions to build a more informed assessment of typical progression and the game’s economy. We also need to adequately test Sport Mode, the titular competitive online component of GT Sport. We’re aiming to have the review finalised in the next couple of days but, for those of you who want our early impressions, here’s what Luke thinks of Gran Turismo Sport so far."
...which perhaps explains why we haven't seen many firm reviews so far - all good though, the demo/beta seemed like a pretty well-rounded showcase to allow players to make up their own minds - and my mind, at least, settled on 'sold'!
