It boggles me how in this day and age media decides how well a product is going to do just because people can't make their own choices. I grew up in a time where I didn't have internet and I didn't read magazines for someones subjective opinion. Dont get me wrong Im curious as the next person on what other people's opinions are on something. I enjoy a good debate and I enjoy hearing people try to explain their justification for why they give something a crappy score or a good one.
I see crappy games get good scores and good games getting crappy scores all the time. I see editors give bogus reasons why a game is great and why another one isnt so great. I see a lot of the same editors contradict themselves. I see some editors give a game a bad review for all the wrong reasons. The thing is how the hell did the world get so Naive and Gullable. The majority of people cant even make their own decisions. I used to buy a game by gambling on how cool the boxart looked on an NES box lol. I made my own decision and I still do.
I dont let a 7/10 tell me I shouldnt buy a game and not for nothing but a 7/10 is still a good score. Are the scores editors give out right all the time and do they match up to what they think is the reason it deserved that score? Subjectively I think no not really. Almost never to be honest. This is why they are purely subjective opinions. There is no "professionalism in reviewing anything". Make up your own damn mind. It just makes me sad when I read comments on here and people wont buy a game because of what Gamespot or IGN says. Its pretty pathetic and sad actually. People say " Im not going to buy this because it didn't at least get an 8" really lol? . The sad part is the ones that say they wont buy it because it got a low score probably go out and buy it anyway.
Call this trolling whatever. Block it ban me I dont care Im not trying to troll or personally attack any one website they are all equally to blame for their lack of professionalism. I just cant stand people who think they have power and try to abuse it because they have their heads too far up their......Im starting to wonder if these editors even play the games for more then a few hours.
