True, but It's still incomprehensible to me that a human being could give Fallout 4 the title of 'Near Perfect' and have a large amount of people agree with them.
It's not like hyperbole would be controversial in the age of "10/10 goty". xD
Still, 'Near Perfect'
I can't think of anything that I've ever considered 'Near Perfect'
People need to understand what PERFECT actually means.
Off the top of my head I'd consider Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Human Revolution to be a near perfect video game. While it's not a complete RPG like the original, it was a thoroughly well-written experience with great gameplay and was more of an RPG than Fallout 4 is. There's probably a couple more of that level of quality.
Ah, Deus Ex. The one classic that I have still yet to play. Is it true that anytime someone mentions Deus Ex on the Internet someone reinstalls it?
Yahtzee Croshaw made a joke about that saying everytime someone mentions Deus Ex, someone reinstalls and plays the beginning of it and quits again - thus making it a game in which everyone is extremely familiar with the first hour of it.
IMO both the original and Human Revolution are "near perfect" games because they do exactly what they set out to do extremely well and don't try to be something they're not like a certain other game that came out recently. They simultaneously have a good amount of depth while maintaining a sharp focus and strong writing/narrative.
