Yeah, i know. But did they ever claim Oblivion to be a form of 'Art'? Or that if you don't like Oblivion, then you should check with your doctor that your heart is still beating?
For me, it doesn't sound like 'It does what it is intended to do perfectly: 10/10'. More like, 'this is epitome of the genre, every other game designer should go back to the drawing-board. We would like to give higher, but 10 is the highest that we got.'
