Hidden Potential

In a world full of opinions, one can say so many on one particular subject, but can sometimes never express the truth due to fear of various situations upon doing so. But then, there comes the Internet...a place where one can freely express opinions and thoughts without harm at all. Websites such as Gamespot.com, can grant a person the ability to express his/her opinions through reviews, in this case, opinions about games. In many cases, a reviewer would play a game and write down his/her thoughts giving a somewhat shallow idea to what, if not why the game is that great or that bad. One case I have read a terrible review about Kingdom Hearts. Personally, I love Kingdom Hearts but the guy gave it a 1/10. I really didn't mind, because I always knew that there will always be an extremely different view in practically everything. Anyways, his opinion was quite interesting, so out of curiosity, I'd like to know why'd he think of such. So when I clicked the mouse, I had absolutely no idea why he hates Kingdom Hearts! It is extremely obvious that he simply hates it, but never stated any actual reasons why. All you can read is the word "EVIL!" (please emphasise the fact that the word is all capitalised, ending with an exclamation point) repeated approx. 700 times...literally! Kinda makes you wonder, huh? Well, my actual message here is to thoroughly get to know your game and take your time deeply considering it's pros and cons before making a mindless judgement upon it. Any, if not every game has the potential to be magnificent and likewise the potential to be just flat-out disgusting. In my case, I play a game a minimum of 35 hours which by that time I have figured out why I like or don't like the game. Not only that, I also read reviews from official Gamespot critics and other major game sites, including the opinions by my fellow users, considering their opinions as well. That being said,my reviews are fairly thorough, if not, straight to the point. I just recommend to take your time, really, before giving any underrated or overrated reviews, otherwise your opinions would simply be as meaningless as an empty piggy bank. Games deserve what they deserve and it is really up to you along with everyone else to determine that!
