Undertale Review Controversy - How could this game earn a 9 in a professional Gamespot review?

Ahh well you got me then xd

i seen high scores on this game. so i did play it and i quit after a couple hours. Its not fun and looks terrible, the storyline is childish and sounds like its written by a nitwit. A game this bad i normally would have quit much sooner but i had to give it a chance and there is nothing here that is good. Even if this was 30 years in the past, i still don't think this game would be worth playing. maybe its a big joke on everyone in the end and everyone is giving this game high scores to see how many people will blindly go along with it despite it being a bad game.

Play what you want and be happy. Why would you let the scores of some games get in the way of your enjoyment?

Why would you blindly go along with scores in the first place...?

Haven't read a single review of Undertale (seen it talked about a whole lot though).

All I know is that I did have fun with it. I do think there were some really nicely designed aspects of the game, and the music was breddy good.

This whole thing here, the reason I think the entire scoring system ought to be dropped.

"Oh it got a higher score then other games I liked, It's an outrage!" Or " Oh it got a low score even though I think it deserves higher, It's an outrage!"

And then people get pissed off, bicker and look at it as a "Controversial" thing when in reality it's simply a number slapped on. There's no system to the scoring across the board, it's not standardized. Some use the "One to Ten" others use the "One to Six" on a dice and some use from "one to a hundred", Thus rendering the whole scoring essentially pointless.

If a reviewer like a game then they should explain why in the review and similar why they dislike it, which they normally do and frankly I think it's just lazyness that has people simply scroll down and look at scores rather then the reasons. Remove the scores and they'll need to see the reasons.

In a nutshell: New youtube era "gamers" are whiny kids.
